Wow. Japan knock off South Africa.
Full Time
Georgia 17
Tonga 10
Well done Georgia!!
wow another big upset
Eddie Jones actually suggested that this was a possibility - thought he was nuts as usual. Shiznit is right - biggest upset in RWC history. So much for Japanese rugby being bagged. Was Craig Wing playing? Jones suggested that he wouldn't.
go the Japs
what price I wonder ?
Just caught a replay of the All Blacks finally...
We bloody looked real rusty... Which is understandable as most of our guys hadn't played for a month...
He's copped a whole lot of shit lately... And after Sydney he deserved it... But SBW was excellent.
He's not really good enough to start... But it's a real luxury being able to call upon him to change the game if things are starting to go pear shaped.
We just need to avoid injury and keep building...
I really like the black boots and silver numbers... Looks slick.
I'm not too sure about this World Cup for the AB's, they look old, still classy but judging by the way the tournament is being reffereed I think the calls will favour the harder/faster running teams which is what I think happened with the springboks. They could still pull it off but to see the AB's get beaten in both the collision and look like the team with less attacking flair than Argentina actually made me worry about this team. Hopefully Ireland can give it a good go because I think they've been the 2nd best team over the last 4 years.
No one will try and beat us by playing an up tempo running game.
No one can live with us when we're playing up tempo.. We're just too skilful and too accurate and too fit.
The only way someone beats us is drawing us into a dogfight.
The French are usually the best at doing it to us.
Mate... It was evident watching the all NZ games in super rugby this season... The games were at a different level.Agree about the skills,
I watch a bit of NZ Rugby on Fox and the skill level of the provincial teams is amazing, their break down and ruck play is so technically correct its easy to see why the Kiwis dominate international Rugby. So much depth.
No comparison to club Rugby in Australia.
