Samoa shock Australia with 32-23 win in Sydney
Sunday, 17 July 2011 11:36 UK
George Stowers and Taiasina Tuifu'a celebrate Samoa's victory Wales' World Cup opponents Samoa stunned Australia with a 32-23 victory in Sydney on Sunday.
The Samoans led from the third minute with Alesana Tuilagi and full-back Paul Williams scoring in the first half.
Lock Kane Thompson and centre George Pisi added two further tries in the second half with fly-half Tusi Pisi kicking two penalties and three conversions for the Samoans.
Samoa face Wales in a Pool D game in Hamilton on 18 September.
The Wallabies scored 13 of their points in the 10 minutes when Samoa were reduced to 14 men with lock Daniel Leo in the sin-bin.
Fly-half Matt Giteau scored 18 points from a late try, two conversions and three penalties for Australia.
"The main focus this week was to believe in ourselves. We came out here just to win this game," said try-scorer Tuilagi.
"We know it's going to be a tough game but we believed in ourselves and, thanks God, we did it today."
Samoa will also face holders South Africa, Fiji and Namibia in pool matches at this autumn's World Cup in New Zealand.

Yes can't see any of the Northern hemisphere side being a match for the Southern but like all cup competitions you never know what will happen over a small number of one off games.

Well 6 tries can't be bad but the first half was again littered with penalties and in the end the score flattered England. Will need to up their game if they are to have any chance against the stronger teams in the later stages.
Did not see the Wales game but from the score it looks like it was a tight game and Samoa are no push over.
Most of the favoured Nations are stuttering in these opening games. Nerves or the opposition rising to the occasion? Who knows!

Anyone else think that refs are becoming more like coaches in Rugger, the number of times they stop the game for some minor infringement depite the fact that the team not guilty have the advantagel is a reall Aris` pain.
The England match today was a prime example, itf there had been no ref there the score would have been much the same, and the game more fluid, they are on top of the ball getting in the way the whole 80 mins., there are enough linesmen ( now assistand refs) and CCTV to keep order.

Wales should stop kicking what little possession they get back down Ireland's throat and start doing what they do best and run it back at them.

A farmer was out on his Welsh hillside tending his flock one day, when he saw a man drinking with a cupped hand from the stream which ran down from one of his fields. Realising the danger, he shouted over to the man, 'Paid a yfed y dwr! Mae'n ych-y-fi!' [Don't drink the water. It's disgusting!]
The man at the stream lifted his head and put a cupped hand to his ear, shrugged his shoulders at the farmer, and carried on drinking.
Realising the man at the stream couldn't hear him, the farmer moved closer, 'Paid a yfed! Dwr ych-y-fi! Defaid yn cachu yn y dwr!' [Don't drink. Water's disgusting. Sheep poo in the water.]
Still the walker couldn't hear the farmer. Finally the farmer walked right up to the man at the stream and once again said again, 'Dwr yn ych-y-fi! Paid a'i yfed!'. [Water's disgusting. Don't drink it!]
'I'm dreadfully sorry my good man, I can't understand a word you say dear boy! Can't you speak English?' said the man at the stream, in a splendid English accent.
'Oh I see', said the farmer, 'I was just saying, if you use both hands you can get more in........ !

Johnson has to go as soon as the plane lands along with the golden oldies and all the idiots who treated the trip as one long p*ss up.

Try these:
Welsh rugby player: "Doctor, doctor, every morning when I get up and look in the mirror - I feel like throwing up. What's wrong with me?"
Doctor: "I don't know, but your eyesight is perfect."

Why do Welsh rugby players like smart women?
Opposites attract.
.......
Why do people tend to hate Welsh Rugby players on sight?
Because it saves time.
.......
Welsh Rugby player in Chinese restaurant:
"Waiter, these noodles are a bit crunchy."
Waiter: "That's because they're chopsticks, Sir."
.......
A Welshman went to the doctor one day and said:
"I've just been playing Rugby and when I got back I found that when I touched my legs, my arms, my head, my tummy and everywhere else, it really hurt."
So the doctor said: "You've obviously broken your finger, boyo"

Ianto was having a pint at his local when a very loud mouthed englishman by the name of Henry walked in. Ianto couldnt help overhear Henry trying to bet a couple of young lads that they couldnt drink 20 pints in 20 minutes. After a lot of cajoling, Henry was unsuccessful in his plight to make a few quid. He looked around at Ianto and said 'well what about you then?, Are you game?' Ianto downed his pint and left the pub.
Half an hour later Ianto walks back in to his local and says to Henry 'I'll take that bet.' Sure enough Henry smiled at the easy money he would make as Ianto began to drink the pints. Henry's smile soon turned upside down when Ianto polished off the 20 pints in 19 minutes. Handing over the cash, Henry said 'when you left here earlier, where did you go?' Ianto looked at him and replied 'I had to go to the pub down the road to see if I could do it first.'

The English decided to invade Wales, the army had just crossed the border and came to the first forrest when they heard a voice shout "One Welshman is worth two Englishmen".
The army commander couldn't resist the challenge and promptly sent two men into the forrest. After 10 minutes the voice shouted "One Welshman is worth ten Englishmen".
The army commander again couldn't resist the challenge and promptly sent ten men into the forrest. After 10 minutes the voice again shouted "One Welshman is worth 100 Englishmen".
The army commander was now getting angry and sent two hundred men into the forrest. After 10 minutes the voice shouted "One Welshman is worth an English regiment".
The army commander now really angry sent in one of his regiments. After 10 minutes one of the English emerged from the forrest bleeding and dying, and with his last breath he told the army commander...
"it's a trap!.. there's TWO of them in there"!

Three rugby players are sitting in the maternity ward of a hospital waiting for the imminent birth of their respective children. One is a Welshman, one English and the other a West Indian.
They are all very nervous and pacing the floor - as you do in these situations. All of a sudden the doctor bursts through the double doors saying, "Gentlemen you won't believe this but your wives have all had their babies within 5 minutes of each other." The men are beside themselves with happiness and joy. "And", said the doctor, "They have all had little boys." The fathers are ecstatic and congratulate each other over and over. "However we do have one slight problem," the doctor said, "..in all the confusion we may have mixed the babies up getting them to the nursery and would be grateful if you could join us there to try and help identify them."
With that the Welshman raced past the doctor and bolted to the nursery. Once inside he picked up a black infant with dreadlocks saying, "There's no doubt about it, this boy is mine!" The doctor looked bewildered and said, "Well sir of all the babies I would have thought that maybe this child could be of West Indian descent."
"Maybe", said the Welshman, "but one of the other two is English and I'm not taking the chance."

3 young lads are playing on the street in London in 1987 when they were all hit by a speeding bus. Upon arrival in Heaven God says to them, "You weren't supposed to die, you were all supposed to live out your lives. This was not your time. To make it up to you I'll let you choose what you want to do with your life. Take a running jump off that cloud over there and as you're flying back down to Earth shout out what you want to do, and so it shall be."
The 1st kid takes a running leap and shouts, "Spaceman" and so, 20 years later he is a top pilot & scientist and is due to take part in the next manned space expedition in partnership with NASA.
The 2nd kid takes his turn and shouts, "Racing Driver" and so, 20 years later he has worked his way up to become a leading rally driver & is tipped to win major competitions and titles.
The 3rd kid goes to take his turn, and as he runs towards the edge of the cloud he trips over his own feet and stumbles off the cloud muttering, "Stupid clumsy arsehole." 20 years later he's playing in the England squad Backs.

Rugby World Cup 2011: Sam Warburton's tip tackle in pictures:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/picturegalleries/8828748/Rugby-World-Cup-2011-Sam-Warburtons-tip-tackle-in-pictures.html
The referee undoubtedly acted according to the letter of the law.
As to whether there was any malicious intent or not isn't shown in the pictures. Many would say that this is the overriding factor and that it must be a bad law if 'malicious intent' isn't taken into consideration.
eg,
If it is: Red card
If it isn't: Yellow card
IMHO, Wales had their chances but missed them - paricularly the last penalty kick that went under the bar instead of over it. This obviously had nothing to do with how many men were on were not on the field. Had the kick scored then Wales would have won the game.

Rugby World Cup 2011: IRB to assess Warren Gatland cheat claim
The International Rugby Board is to review Warren Gatland's claim he considered cheating in Wales' defeat by France in the World Cup semi-finals.
Gatland admitted he considered asking a prop to fake an injury, which would have led to uncontested scrums.
That would have helped Wales, as their pack was already a man down following the dismissal of captain Sam Warburton.
Dil
- 18 Oct 2011 20:06
- 331 of 412
Welsh Rugby Union chief executive Roger Lewis said Gatland should actually be praised for choosing not to claim a fake injury though.
"Warren Gatland should be applauded in this professional era where tough things and tough decisions are made that he didn't go into that particular zone," said Lewis.
Wales Rugby Union chief executive Roger Lewis praises Gatland's honesty
"That was something that was considered and the guys said 'we are not going there'.
"In professional sport there is always an opportunity to manipulate the laws and that opportunity could have presented itself.
"But we did not go there and I think it is a tribute to Warren that he honestly expressed that. Warren Gatland is a brutally honest rugby coach. He is a very serious thinker and he tells it as he sees it.
While on the other hand ...
The former England coach Dick Best has told the BBC he is amazed Gatland did not cheat, as it goes on all the time in the sport.

Best team in the world won but the better team on the day lost.
French must be gutted.

A little lucky New Zealand......if a few more ref decisions had gone France's way.....they might have won it......2 very good teams but nowhere near as good as that England side of 2003.....I bet the allblacks will now be able to play some vintage style rugby now.....now the pressure is over....they seem to peak in between world cups somehow....

Any nation that has a player sent off in a World Cup match who is then portrayed as a hero has serious identity issues.

I don't think the English team should have been allowed on a NZ pitch.
Hear they are "tinking" of going on strike for more money!
A "gentleman's game played by "English ruffians".

Sooner hopefully.
I wonder why it is that English National teams have a habit of blowing their toes off time and time again?
I guess it's not just the English, the Dutch & French have certainly experienced some serious issues in the past.

Looking forward to the Welsh v Oz game.
Last game for Shane which is almost as sad as him not being English. Glorious entertainer on the pitch and will be missed by this Englishman.

Shane, Thank you for you flair.

This thread is quiet. I suppose all the England supporters are in church praying before they play Wales at Twickers.
Wales for Triple Crown!

I wish Wales wouldn't tease England so much.
Had me worried for a few minutes.
Very exciting game.
Perhaps, England was a little unlucky. But they certainly played better than expected.
