Fiji had me worried with those powerful attacks in the midfield. Now for the semi finals, Argentina will be a worthy opponent to beat. GO BOKKE!!!
In that case, goodbuye eddie O’Sullivan and bring on graham henry. Sadly won’t happen though.

I felt sorry for McCaw though he seemd like a decent bloke and was lost for words after the game
And where was Mauger??
Fair enough, every country has its wankers that taints a whole nation of supporters, especially on the net(hell have you seen most of the idiots that comment on youtube?).
More than any team the AB’s were carrying the weight of 4 million expectations on their shoulders. Rugby is all we are known for.
Henry is for the chop and I actually thought he did us proud. But in New Zealand its the cup or your job and he would have known that.
Oh well…
Fuck.

Don’t know if this has been posted yet. I guess some people are pretty unhappy. I wish I’d seen the match.
Pretty harsh
it was a forward pass though
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Wasn’t pretty but who fucking cares!
ENGLAND!!!
Hell yes, england all the way. Talk about peaking at the right moment.
Yes,congratulations to England. This was the first match I saw them play with coherence and skill (apart from the pack against a weak convict scrum). It is true that the game was rather grungy, with no magical moments and that on balance France was the better team, but rugby is all about wanting to win and England had that quality in spades.
We are going to win this thing.
Go BOKKE!!!
The finals should be VERY interesting. The world’s best drop-kicker (Wilkinson) and the world’s best try-scorer (Habana). Go Bokke! Stop the repeat!
That was a thrilling second half!

Hell motherfuckin’ yeah!
Damn I’m looking forward to this coming weekend!
I avoided spoilers abd just finished watching the game. Very exciting.
Is anyone else as completely confused as I am? Some awesome games, but this hasn’t gone ANYTHING like I expected.

I wasn’t expecting England to get as far as they have - I don’t think the English were either! I had a good feeling about SA from the start, and still think we gonna kick butt this weekend.
BOKKE!!!
Done and dusted…
Well done bokkes. Hard luck englad. There’s gonna be war over that disallowed try

That is the unfortunate truth,I also believe.
Jake White led them to the promised land in spite of,not because of,the system.

In fairness as a proud Englishman I was going competely nuts when the try was disallowed, but in reality, as our lineouts were a bit dubious we were unlikely to win.
Some (not all) of the refereeing was a bit one sided, but being probably one of the most hated nations in the world kinda results in things like that.
Overall, a good second place, shame the F1 also went tits up, but there we go.
