RWC 2011 - Quarter final 3 : Springbokke v. Wallabies CLOSED

[mark_s]

There is a qtr final on this afternoon, will be a bloody good hard game and a good team will be going home disapppointed possibly after playing at the best of their abilities. Enough of the grumbling and get behind the men in gold!

Here's to hoping this the is the 2003 SF again...
The fans and press had written off the Wallabies against the ABs.
The Wallabies, like France yesterday, in 2003 responded by stubbornly lasting 80mins to win.
Go Aus. The country is behind you.

On a separate note, whichever team wins today, I suspect that they will really back themselves against the ABs next week.

 

[James Buchanan]

Go the Wallabies & Vamos los Pumas!!!

You know, if both the Wobs and Pumas win, this will be the first time ever that no-one who topped their pool has made it to the semis. Unlikely, but possible.

 

[tranquility]

Possible though. Puma's!

I'm with tiges. No-one's begging you to stay Slim, you don't have to read these threads.

In case anyone accuses me of creativity: http://xkcd.com/386/

Absolutely.

I have more beer coming though just in case things dont go our way

Off topic I know, but whilst I have a few fellow-members on thread, what was the story with "HRH" Mike Tindall yesterday? Was he injured, out of form, or off "with long-time female friend", Jessica Palmer?

 

[Rev Spooner]

I just wanna see us play some decent rugby ... please.

 

[Slim 293]

I believe Tindall injured himself in the last pool match...

I think it was his ankle. One of his team made stood on it at pace in the Scotland game

 

[Bowside]

Up the lads. We know how to break the saffas.

Tipping a big game from the halves, imperative that they turn any chances they get into points. Whats the wind like in Wellington?, could be a headache for our kickers.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

This is the big one boys , is anyone else constantly checking their watch and wishing it was kickoff time.

But how good are the replays on Fox 3 of Les Bleus vs The Soap Dodgers game to while away the countdown?

 

[Mr Doug]

Thanks Slim 293 and Mark S, I was hoping Tindall's absence wasn't due to "Jessica Syndrome"!!

 

[James Buchanan]

I'm not sure Zara would agree, but that sounds better than 'Palmer syndrome' at least.

That being said, I suspect this discussion is better suited to a thread like http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/forum/threads/9547-RWC-QF2-England-v-France-(W-Pool-B-v-RU-Pool-A)

It was a nasty boo-boo and no one was available it kiss it better.

Wow, today is taking forever. I've had to revert to doing odd jobs around the house to keep myself occupied until kick-off.

Same as it always is, probably. It's not just that the city's windy, it's that the stadium funnels it all over the place.

 

[No4918]

Weather looks perfect in Wellington. Marto's hair blowing around a bit but not a cloud in the sky.

It appeared to be quite windy last night in Wellington, but it didn't seem to affect kicking activities too much last night.

While the kickers seemed to handle the wind, I think it wobbled poor old spider cam around a bit. It was either that or the Scotchmans Hill Pinot Noir that was the root cause of the TV image wobbling. Nice drop that, recommended.

 

[Joe Blow]

Good luck to all, particularly the Wallabies.
This is it boys. Give it your best.

 

[tranquility]

I love Jon Smit!!!

Play the entire match mate, cheers.
