you will never beat nz if you try to play like them..they are too good.. but if you can disrupt the way they like too play..then you have a chance
Thank you Ireland. Now Wales, do a number on Samoa tomorrow and it's 2 home nation sides to get to the final, and the Southern hemisphere boys knocking lumps out of each other in the other side of the draw. Who'd have thought that Wayne Barnes had worked all this out, when he did not call that kicked that penalty which would have given Wales their justified win versus the Boks!!
Unfortunately there was an awful lot of this kind of Aussie arrogance before the game. Its a trait I've noticed in Australians over the years. They are a lovely laid-back and funny people but when it comes to sport they seem to transform into a bunch of dicks! You'll never beat the Irish!!!
wallabies seem to be an enigma, one day they lose to samoa, next they beat the springboks and the all blacks then cant score a try against an average Irish side, no discipline, Irish deserved to win, now a struggle to make the final (why cooper wanst kicking is beyond me)
well once i saw the conditions and who was kicking my edmund stayed in the wallet, u been to queenstown (totally off topic)
The draw seems to look perfect now, four x six nations in one half and three x southern hemisphere sides in the other, only England losing to the Jocks can f*ck it up now...
The Jocks still have a lot to do to get out of their pool. Beating the Puma's is no easy task. From an Irish point of view I'm not so sure if beating Australia is all its cracked up to be! With the way Wales performed against S A we might have been better off meeting the Boks. England yet to hit top gear but they will when the opposition goes up a notch.
I think it'd be fair to say the Welsh performance against SA and the Irish performance against the Aussies has shown that, if we perform to our potential, we can beat anybody.
Scotland v Argentina will probably be the tightest pool game remaining to see who will qualify, too close to call, but then again, the Jocks won't need motivation playing England...
Scotland will lose to the Argies,their packs too strong for them.Also Wilkinson will kick England to victory against the Scots.
Shame Georgia Don't more High class Games, put them in the six nations and I thbnk they could be scarey in a few years.
