Well, you got a run for your money up to halftime... Shame Georgia folded so easily once the Argies upped the tempo. I don't think any of the home nations will fancy taking on the Argies too early in the knockout stages...
The turning point was the yellow card for Godzilla or whatever his name is. Georgia too poor with the ball and Argentina impressively clinical and attractive to watch (ooh err)
Time to forget about last night, it's not going to ruin my weekend. Tonight is the big one and, hopefully, England and Wales will serve up a match worthy of the occasion. I'm a bit worried Lancaster appears to be picking a side to counter the Welsh rather than trusting his side to win playing their own game. Whatever happens let's hope rugby is the winner...
How were the pools decided? Based on ranking? South Africa's group looks a piece of piss despite their attempts to make a hash of it
Based on the rankings in 2012, when Wales had a poor season and dropped to No.9. England and Australia drew the short straw...
Quite bizarre to base it on three years ago. Scotland might actually qualify which is no use to anyone
I still hold out some hope of SA and Japan making it out of that group, but the size of Japan's loss to Scotland makes it tricky.
Not even the Jocks!... It was done then for forward planning of the venues. Of the major nations it's usually Scotland and Italy ranked 9 and 10 in recent years since Argentina started regularly playing in the expanded Tri-Nations...
Samoa are capable of giving South Africa a scare, although I imagine the Springboks will really be playing for their lives today...
Italy looking truly dreadful as Canada take a 10 - 0 lead with a good try. Of course they hit straight back with a try.....10-7.
Great try for Italy to hit back. Speaking as a relative novice again, being able to kick out on the full from inside the 22 makes for a duller game
