    Took our foot off the gas and let them back in too easily. Too many pens.

    Making it hard for ourselves then
    ..
    Got to beat the Aussies and maybe hope Wales beat them too?

    We dominated the first half but Wales despite the injuries really got into us and of course kicked really well.

    Glad I missed it - though could have done without encountering hoards of Welshmen in Farringdon around midnight gloating like it was going out of fashion albeit pretty good natured.

    A few too many one-sided games for my liking...and the one really close one was almost too painful to watch.

    I agree. Should get better over the next two weekends with some real crunch games coming up although I'm already worried about the Australians. I am tempted to back them to beat us as my money should be a big enough handicap for us to squeeze through!

    Cracking effort by Georgia last night. The minor nations really have been a joy in this tournament.

    Some terrific games in prospect today with Scotland taking on South Africa and tonight's must win at Twickers. Enjoy :)

    Not sure whether I'll be able to watch tonight, but suspect I will.
    After last Saturday I haven't watched any of the games- just gone off rugby!
    Will watch this afternoon to try and get the taste again.

    Our defence seems a bit weak so need to get on the front foot..

    Some defensive performance by the Aussies yesterday - they are looking fantastic right now.

    What a brutal game. Great win for Ireland but they may have paid too high a price.

    Typical of French rugby these days. I'm not in the least bit surprised.

    Indeed - their back line are just a bunch of bashers which is a massive shame when you think of the brilliant ones they had in the past. The NZ game will be a big confrontation but i would be very surprised if France win.

    Aussie were indeed tremendous in defence. I can't see past an Aus / NZ final really, though my home nations loyalty is now transferred to Ireland- I can't bring myself to shout for Wales.
