It’s sad and frankly embarrassing seeing the way some professional footballers react to an innocuous challenge that, had it happened anywhere else, wouldn’t have warranted a second look. These people have absolutely no dignity or self-respect at all and certainly no morals. They are an all too common blight on the game today. Unfortunately nothing is being done to stamp it out.

The Argies were play acting this morning trying to get an England player sent off. Disgraceful. They’re on their way home now, bye cheating Argies

If Farrell does not kick the points, what is the point? Slade, Joseph are better centres and Ford I'd the better 10

Very unusual for him to miss Four kicks but the humid conditions mentioned affected the ball and a lot of mistakes were made in both handling and kicking by both sides , he is human same as everyone else .

NRL Grand Final is on in a couple of hours.

Sydney Roosters V Canberra Raiders.

1st grand final appearance for the Raiders in 25 years and Sydney hoping to go back to back.

Been a Roosters supporter since i first moved to Oz but spent most of my time in Canberra and was there when they were formed. Entire family is Raiders mad.

Think the match may be showm on Sky over there

I think it is in some areas. Argentina and Italy were teams who regularly were hammered. Argentina have, over the last few years, become a very very good international side. Look now at the French against Tonga, 70 minute's gone and only lead by 9 points. Yesteryear they would have been at least 30 points up.
 
Superb performance by Japan so far in this game and the tournament in general.

It will be interesting to see if they can keep developing or if it's just a great generational team.

I think the gap at the top is as wide as ever with the very elite (NZ, SA, Wales, England etc) but there's a few currently losing pace with that elite (France, Scotland) who are finding themselves strongly challenged by the top of the second tier such as Japan and Argentina.
 
The commentator said during the game that the Japanese played like the Baa Baa's and he was right, they played without fear and just wanted to move the ball around at speed. Great to watch.

Tasty QFs

Japan v South Africa
New Zealand v Ireland
England v Australia
Wales v France

All matches have a bit of history. Japan beat South Africa in the last World Cup, Ireland won 2 of their last 3 matches against New Zealand having never beaten them previously, England v Australia a perennial classic and Wales v France is traditionally a great match up of flair and running rugby.

Going for Japan, New Zealand, England and Wales in the semis,so that probably means an Ireland v France final

What a great advert for the game the Japan v Scotland game was.. Well done Japan and their terrific supporters that roared them on from start to finish..
 
Absolutely mesmerised by the game. A fantastic advert for the game. Japan absolutely deserved the win and have been an inspiration throughout the tournament.

We need to massively up our game if we are to beat Australia.
