Can someone tell me if George North is actually good? He never appeals as a winger of actual quality but my southern hemisphere bias may be showing.

Given the accuracy that the pommy goal kickers work at (seemingly 100%) are the Wobblys going to be able to score enough to win this? Sub question are your kickers accurate enough to kick at 100% in this big a game? I can't imagine that trying to keep the penalty count down is going to work in...

Surely we are waiting the word from the Munster forums?

How i'm feeling about England today Schadenfreude (/ˈʃɑːdənfrɔɪdᵊ/; German: [ˈʃaːdn̩ˌfʁɔʏdə]), also known as epicaricacy/ˌɛpɨˈkærɨkəsi/ is pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others.[1] This word is taken from German and literally means “harm-joy”. It is the feeling of joy or pleasure...

Well having watched two underwhelming performances in a row I fear that the All Blacks have gone about 12 months too far with this crew. ABE rules from here. Anyone But England.

Well fair play to Nambia on their tactics and execution of them. However, that was NOT a great advertisement for rugby. How an 80 minute game can take 115 minutes of elapsed time (including half time oranges) is beyond me. Stoppages on top of stoppages on top of stoppages. The NZ team...

With regards to the back line play i'd suggest that the Wobbly management crew will be keeping a fair amount in the bag in anticipation of matches to come.

France are the absolute masters of only doing as much is as required to move onto the next match. It's probably genius in all honesty but is incredibly frustrating to watch.

Well done your blokes - one under the belt. Fiji are hard.

um well someone got cited in that match.... http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/international/72360068/argentinas-galarza-cops-nineweek-suspension-for-eye-gouge-on-brodie-retallick

Im sure that Sir Richie McCaw probably takes it all in stride unlike Mr Cooper.

Does anyone playing the Poms count?

Tend to agree though Bismarck has a poor discipline record in big matches. Though how anyone can be picking Matfield at this point is beyond me.

On the plus side SA did come away with 2 pts. Will be important I suspect.

Given that SA still managed 2 pts - assume they are still favoured to win their group as long as they beat scot and sam handily? I assume Japan's world cup will not stay at this level.

Magnificent game and game plan by Argentina. They were the complete business for 60 minutes. It's a pity they don't have the ability to call on world class subs like NZ do. Sadly I suspect that this game is going to be the template all teams try against NZ for the rest of the tournament which...

Well I'd say Chekia is more upset by that try than the Fijian coach......

Fijian backs leave much to be desired

*sigh*

English are starting to panic
