****.

I'm in England (as opposed to the states) and was thinking Oh, I'll go watch the Wallabies game Saturday, forgetting that due to the time difference, the game is Friday not Saturday so I missed it. even brought the green and gold jumper!

 

[jaypee]

Didn't miss much, just another ref trying to take centre stage

 

[Geoffrey Firmin]

Two pints of Velvet Creme stout at the Wig and Pen. A micro brewery I can highly recommend to any visitor to Canberra then home made Pizza. Oh Australia beat Walies 21-20 and yes the that ******* English referee, I should learn to swear in my ancestors Gaelic tongue.

Yes and Tasmanian pinot noir goes down very well at the best ( worst ) of times. I think i feel emotionally spent after the past six weeks not the pay off I was hoping for, this tournament had some real highs and brilliant now excuse me I am going to get drunk. ( what next a summer of cricket? **** that)

Quade Cooper had a great game before getting injured...

6 months minimum..

Another forward pass on the Welsh try...

Refs can't get it right.

 

[Geoffrey Firmin]

1987 Wales 22- Australia 21 2011 Australia 21- Wales 20 something for the seers and soothsayers to contemplate.

Is there a French victory on the cards?

My main problem with the referee is that he refused to play advantage, which made the game horribly stuttering, especially in the first half.

Berick Barnes what could've been for Australia? As in a first 5 that can kick territory and make good decisions?

Yep. And what a way for Cooper to finish his World Cup. Deans made a few big selection errors. He should have used Sharpe and Barnes more, but played Cooper much less. Samo is someone to bring on at 60min. Also, Deans failed to improve the scrum since the last World Cup.

The scrum is still a problem..

 

[Luc-Emmanuel]

Joubert's not helping...
Plenty of offside players.
Go France!

[jaypee]

GO FRANCE
Not helping at al. The crowd is obviously pressuring the game greatly

 

[Luc-Emmanuel]

****. We almost made it.
Good game NZ.

[AGPi]

So close. I really wanted France to win - or rather I've never wanted a team to lose more.

We were the best team and Dusautoir is the best player in the world..

The referee has had a bad game but it was the same story last week...

In the last 10 minutes ,the Blacks were so offside it was incredible..

On the tournament , they deserve to die but not on that game...
