UK Time kick off.

Have to say that France deserved to win.....England's passing lacked sharpness and improvisation...

Well played The Pumas on this form NZ should be a push over in the Final.

I found my phone just my jacket still missing must have left it in the club.

Todays games not a patch on yesterdays.

i am sober now dil - but whatever we say it does not make much difference to the england performance - it was piss poor except one player imo manu tuilagi and some almost average perfomance from a few others - france did deserve the win - at least this will be a last run out for some of the existing england team - will look fwd to the rest of the tournament but a pity we are still not in - always next time!!

It's likely to be the last run out for that clown Tuilagi for a long time too gibby , WTF are they playing at out there ?

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.

On the bright side we didn't get out of our pool in 2007 so sacked the manager and did the Grand Slam 5 months later , wouldn't put it past England to do the same.

.... and I got my jacket back , what a night :)

The only thing Tuilagi did wrong was not to take Johnson with him and save us severance pay!

Aussie's were poor , got up to watch it but fell asleep after 20 minutes. New Zealand look a shadow of the team they are with Carter in it but I still think they'll win it.

Current betfair odds :

NZ 1.67
Aus 6.2
Wal 7.2
Fra 9.6

I think Fra should be 6.2 and Aus 9.6 but I know nothing.

Lol M , if the ferry had sunk don't think anyone would have rushed to save any of the England party.

Put BBC Wales on if your bored M.

Wales RWC 2011 Anthem "Sam Our Captain"

An Englishman, an Irishman, & a Scotsman walk into a bar & ask the barman where the Welshman is. The Barman replies, "Still in New Zealand".

I am stealing that joke

That joke is only any good for Welshmen.

:-)

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"

.......

Second Welsh rugby player in restaurant:
"Waiter, this vinegar is rather lumpy."
Waiter: "That's because they're pickled onions, Sir."

Just went in a fancy dress shop to get a vampire costume but when the shop assisant handed me an England rugby shirt I told her she must have misheard me as I said I wanted to look like a COUNT !

Preistland out injured and replaced by Hook for Saturday , rest of the team unchanged.

Bring it on !

Thanks for that information Dil not sure how I would have managed to get through the next few days without it.

Who do I want to win Saturday? I feel like a guy trying to decide whether to top himself using arsenic of cyanide. My gut feel is to wish for a French win so I can type lots of LOLs like you do when we lose.

Support France M ... you got uck else right so far :-)


And the good news is after suffering from a stinking head cold all week I now feel well enough for some light training tonight before declaring myself fit for Wetherspoons Saturday.

Dil - enjoy it :-)
