Well it’s been 4 more years & here we are again.
Ireland is my Bolter for the win followed by the Springboks.
We should make semi finals but I think we lack killer instinct and the necessary discipline to go all the way.
One game at a time , France will be ferocious and inspired.
Let’s hope the Reffs done make it all about them

Inclined to agree with you Herman.

Looks like Scotland have upped their game too.

I doubt if we will make it out of the group stages, but I’m hoping 1/4 finals.

It’s not my thing, but we are here in Paris. My wife and daughter are watching the Wallabies and Georgia, and France and All Blacks tonight.

Its a thing this tournament that anyone that goes close to putting a hair out of place on an opponent player causes the clock to stop and an eternity is taken to find a reason why to punish.
They seem to miss forward passes, and ruck slowing, but oh God, dont smack anyone :/ :wtf:

Wasn’t a red in my opinion, but we did well.

You mean like old fashioned rugby? England took good advantage of poor discipline by Argentina. Don’t know what to make of the Scottish game. I don’t think we will get out of the pool stages.
