I'm suprised how poor the French were after very good performances recently, but it goes to show anything can happen in big competitions.

Re: Rugby Union
Great result for Argentina and how well they played French too cocky maybe??
Strange team the French you don't know which one will turn up.
We'll see what Wales can do on Sunday, don't think that one is cut and dried either

"Strange team the French you don't know which one will turn up."
A bit like my wife .........
However, the Argentine defence was awesome - once upon a time they'd have crumbled in the last 20 mins but not now!
I'd like to see them in a 7 nations championship but they'd have to be based in Europe, Spain ?

Re: Rugby Union
Wilko out, Barkley out, Vickery out
Farrell to play at Fly Half
I reckon England must be hoping to confuse South Africa to defeat

I think he will do well there, he used to first receiver when playing for Wigan which isn't much different to fly half. But i can't see England doing well in the match as a whole to be honest.

Bet he got a lot more time to clear the ball with Wigan than he'll get from South Africa - he'll be their top target and it'll be a stern test.

Re: Rugby Union
Yes the injuries haven't helped but England were bereft of ideas and attacking flair. Just as I thought, Farrell a fish out of water - soooooooooo slow on the ball! Perry devoid of any urgency or innovation. Half time, England not in the match and never looked like scoring - time for bold changes in a last ditch attempt to salvage something?? No chance - leave them for when it's far too late. I've never understood the attitude which afflicts England rugby/football/cricket coaches/managers whereby despite their teams being totally outplayed and them having nothing whatsoever to lose by trying something novel, they leave it 'til 15 minutes before the end of play to ring the changes.
Things can only get better however and at least a cricket score was avoided (just) by hook or by crook.........

Re: Rugby Union
You should have watched the Rugby League on Sky. That would have taught the union players a thing or two, 100mph for 80 minutes, great game compared to this

I actually turned over after England went 10 - 0 down.
Very Poor tactically

Yes very poor indeed. Could it all be a tactic to lure the rest into a false sense of security ?????
LOL

Yes I'd wait for the result of that match before any gloating .........
With home advantage in such a key World Cup game Wales have a massive advantage over the likes of England however I don't think England would've beaten SA with the side they had available even at Twickenham. As for Wales, well I can still foresee see a comfortable Aussie win but this is the World Cup and anything can happen.....
