Come on japan it'l be a tough phisical game against the yanks but you've done well n deserve to finish on a high until 2019 think japan will host a good one..

[Tiercel 6,986]

By heck I enjoyed that game. USA are improving all the time, Japan well what can you say. The only team to win three games and still not progress to the Q F.

 

I have really enjoyed some of the pool games where amateur players have given their all and got up next week and done the same. Speaks volumes for the game.

Same as you really enjoyed the tier 2 games n the continuous improvements made by these country's can only be good for the game can't it especially in world cups, that's the thing with rugby league as much as I like it there's only 3 teams in it really that's got a chance n it's usually the green n golds or the kiwis, Iv really enjoyed this rugby union World Cup with the different country's and abilitys n performances n hopefully now after this w c country's governments such as Japan's will put there hands in there pockets n fund the game proper n it will increase in popularity n end up bein up there with there biggest sports of baseball n martial arts..

 

Reckon that Ireland n Argentina game be a gudden next week look forward to that one..

I think if USA start taking rugby seriously they will become a force to be reckoned with !!

[dodger 2,754]

That's what I was thinking especially if they can get some of them NFL fellas into it lol..

[Tiercel 6,986]

Their inside centre was a converted running back. He made some good yards last night.

In the USA most rugby players are American football rejects and don't really start playing till late teens if by then we have been playing for over 10 years and our basic skills are formed !! They start playing at 6 years old and put a lot of Money into the sport God help the rest of the world !! Iv played over there and by God them fuckers can make big hits !

And they have cheer leaders. (had to use the small licking tongue because I can't find the big one)

Ireland played great game yesterday,, beat France in every position on the pitch, pity we lost Sexton O Connell O Mahony, and what the story will O Brien miss next match, they are all the heart beat of the Irish team, we are as bad as the Welsh with injuries now, its a pity we won at a very big loss....

It were some bone crunching game of rugby.....great to watch for a non egg chaser

[Tiercel 6,986]

I have just seen who we have as a ref against S.A. Only Wayne 'it did not go between the posts' Barnes. The man should not be in charge of school kids yet alone a quarter final.

At least he's a NH ref.. That's about the only good thing I can think to say about it!

Sean O'Brien gone for a week, Philipe Saint-Andre seething over an "assault" on a player....Nowt about sexton been targeted with late tackles....good job they forgot to target Madigan.....O'Brien should have closed his fist and flattened him....remember Henri...Well up your Frenchie......

Considering Tuilagi initially got 5 weeks for kneeing a bloke while being tackled, O'Brien was lucky with a week. Just hoping we see him again in this world cup! Agree though he should have had a proper go
