See what above?

Why is that?

Newcastle is a lot closer to Scotland than to London though. ;) That is all. :p

Same goes for French fans too then. :) Will be interesting to see the balance between fans.

Well the whole of France is right across the channel, and their access to the UK is pretty easy too. And there are quite a few South Africans over there from here - obviously the majority are expats, yes. But that goes for any non-European team's support there anyway. I'd even say it could...

Tumour forces Italy's Martin Castrogiovanni out of World Cup http://www.espn.co.uk/rugby/story/_/id/13817761/tumour-forces-italy-martin-castrogiovanni-rugby-world-cup What a shame. Luckily won't miss many games, though.

A face only a mother could love. Image unavailable for anyone else? EDIT: Oh, you have to be logged in to view it. Now who's being silly...

You'd be happy if I was silly but right.

And Cooper.

See, I thought that for the SA-Scotland game in Newcastle - so close to the Scottish border, it was supposed to effectively be Murrayfield-like. But that clearly wasn't the case - it was about 50-50, if not slightly in our favor. And France is a helluva lot closer to Cardiff than South Africa...

I'd rather have Tonga at the world cup than Hong Kong/Korea/The Dalai Lama's. Teams which are able to lose by 150 points will mean jack for the development of rugby in that area.

Yes, vs. USA definitely. After that, a more balanced approach is needed. And I can bet you if we make the semi vs. NZ, it will be nothing like as open as the last 3 matches at Ellis Park.

I know, me too. :p By the way, before the weekend I would've put my money on Wales. Now it's firmly on Australia. I also like the Aussie team vibe more - Quade gave it a bit of a twat feeling. Amazing how much one player can have an influence on one's view on a whole team. Foley is a no fuss...

1. This match has huge relevance to the quarter final, likely against us. 2. I was replying to a post made by the plastic paddy, in this thread!

I can't say I have a solid view on the game. It's the Springboks. In 2015. We can win by 20 on the day, or we can lose by 20. Superbru is such a nerve-wracking experience with the Boks this world cup.

And we won't be able to complain about the 10 day gap between USA and the quarter final.

A presentation even Cipriani will understand.

We honestly don't mind the underdog tag. ;)

Sarcasm? Pretty sure IF we lead by 30 at halftime(IF, because Japan), he'll unload pretty much the whole bench. The quarter-final is 9/10 days after tomorrow's game, so these players will need to play a bit now. If we were playing on the weekend, I'm sure the team would look a bit different.

I'm not an Aussie lol. It would make me happy if he was banned for a few weeks, as there is still a chance we might play them in the quarters. But I called it as I saw it at the time. It looked from the other side like he hit him full-on on the shoulder. The pic above paints a different picture...
