Heard there’s an Irish ref.

Only way you will see an Irishman in a WC semi

How did they have all English officials for that match btw. We saw how that affected the game with pro-All Blacks decisions that robbed the Irish.

Like putting a Dutchman in charge of a Germany v Anyone Else footy match.

lol

I don't think anyone thinks that England will make the final but everyone else doesn't say it repeatedly. It's just you. Have you asked yourself why you feel the need to do it?

...have you heard the tale of the scorpion and the frog?

Looking forward to tonight’s game, think the neutral would prefer to see the flair of the French make it through but think the boks make it into an arm wrestle and get the job done. Winner tonight wins the tournament I think. Have my doubts that New Zealand can put together another 80 mins like that when last night was their first real performance in two years.

Despite my being an avid AB supporter, I tend to agree with you. This AB team is good, but not great. I think they get to the final but France defeats them in that game. But regardless, the unalloyed joy of winning that QF is a sporting memory I'll cherish.

Gonna be merciless this week now, all the brexitty weirdos like clarkson and his troop of brain haemorrhages coming out of the woodwork to talk up the game next week and how they'll be there. Now in light of this I'm a bit peeved with Fiji.

Proper national anthem coming up at 8.

Got a double on NZ and SA to win their quarters, a big part of me still wants france to win

I've gone France so I think your money is fine.

I had hoped my stan bowles like betting record would propel Ireland to victory

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

France are now my adopted team.

You actually are GOTs Joan Of Arc. Perfect.

All Blacks v Springboks final. That's what it'll be after all the palaver spoken about SF berths being booked by northern hemisphere nations.

TBH, I hope France win it on home soil.

They'll batter the Springboks then rip England fresh from their victory over Fiji-on-Sea a new one.

These two posts were 17 minutes apart. The ramblings of a madman.

To much red wine?

Is the French coach off swimming after the match?

England have only failed to reach the semi in four World Cups. It’s a record that other home nations can only dream of. Even when we’re utterly jar, we still do it, and the best team that Europe has ever seen* (TM the Irish) complet bottl it time after time
