It's gonna be a good measure of how far Argentina have come in six months. Bummer for Wales. The only country ahead of us in both football and rugby rankings

Finally got to watch the game. Shocked how the kiwis massacred the French forwards in the lineouts

Think you guys should be careful not to reap what you wish for. The Argies are not gonna be a walkover. Reckon that game might be just as close and will certainly be just as physical. No one is gonna come out of either game without injuries

Can't remember the last World Cup polarising opinion on national lines like this one is.

Is it really a surprise that your fans and coach are cocky given the way all but one team have been clambering over each other to reach the other side of the draw and hoping that someone else will beat you. South Africans deserve credit for being the only team to see the all blacks as just...

He was ok against Wales.

Think he was tested in Wales game as much as they will be in nz. What worries me is what garces will do. They slowed welsh possession brilliantly. As long as he is consistent then South Africa will do ok.

I'm impressed with the South Africans. Always one of the top two teams in the world in terms of who we want to beat. And too rarely do. Might be a national sport/identity thing. Don't think Australia has that 'rugby matters ' mindset. At work I'm the only one watching the rwc

Don't I know it! I've seen quite a few of them

I don't think Ireland or Wales need to panic. Just look at the Argentinians and how quick they've turned things around. It's not the culture or weather that needs to change. IMHO It's just getting the ball wide and trusting the wingers. For too long wings have been used as at best kick chasers...

Yup. We know well how Australia keeps its nerve :(

I really liked De Allende on Sunday morning. Attack and defence. Gonna be a world great in the next couple of years

I totally agree. And if its close you need experience to keep your nerve. I'd only bring on Phipps to protect Genia for the final

Yup. It's history now. And to be honest the problem for the Scots was that their nerve was breaking. It was that was one seriously shit throw in.

Oh God Huw, now you've done it. you mentioned Paddy O'Brien. Thought I was over my issues with him

Spose that's right. But he's not world class. Anyone better on the horizon? as for the next game, Genia and phipps are gonna have to step up. Argies put a lot of pressure of Murray, and he's good!

Do you reckon there is really any benefit in bringing him on? Having watched Cheika do it several times I can't see that he adds anything over Genia

And the game enters legend.

That's actually very interesting point that I thought of when watching it unfold. Phipps' body language has guilt written all over it. He knows he got away with something

Yup! Clancey or Lacey Garces was fair last weekend. South Africa just played him better. Plenty of opportunity for reaching over the rucks and Ritchie can take his time rolling away
