I wonder what odds you'd get on an all Northern Hemsiphere semi. With the hapless minnows out there's an outside chance!
Some of the hapless minnow matches were pretty good to watch though. I found myself on ITV4 more than ITV.

Meanwhile the latter day proud Edward's Army played their part in a thoroughly enjoyable sporting contest yesterday - Eric Fry, the USA prop adding some comedy to warm the proceedings, with some 'old school' antics that earned him a yellow card. Lovely entertaining match - both sides returning similar statistics - just the more decisive Japan side winning the day.

One of the good forthcoming matches will be between South Africa and Argentina - for the third place play-off, 30th October.:whistle:
 


Man of the match O'Brien warms up...Joe Schmidt's summary is funny "His fist was not closed...I think he was being held..."^_^


Cowardly! If an opponent in a game did that against us, whoever saw it, would call out no. 7 (for example) just to let him know he was a marked man for the rest of the game. But only cowardly stuff: shenanigans in the front row were 'tolerated' and the concerned parties always shook hands at the final whistle and bought each other a beer (or whatever concoction was being created) in the clubhouse.
 
Slugger O'Brien opinion from St Andre(w?)...:smile: That open hand slap must be a judo move par excellence!

not feeling the love for Ireland in this thread, other than me, should make the semi-finals, its not beyond the realms of possibility that we might actually win it...
can you imagine how pissssed off some folks would be if we did....^_^^_^^_^^_^^_^^_^
After we get pumped by Australia, I will transfer my allegiance to Ireland, assuming you beat Argentina. Unless of course Wales are still in it (it's always good to have ONE of the host nations still present) :okay:.

Ireland vs. Argentina looks like a great match-up. I'm pretty certain about the other results (Wales, NZ, Australia all to win), but not that one.

You forget that France, more than any other team I've ever seen play, have an ability to just turn up with exactly the same team that you saw play fairly useless rugby yesterday and play such sublime and imaginative rugby that they literally blow sides away. You just have to hope that's their next game
Yebbut they never do it three games on the trot.

How unsubtle. In my day the skip or pack leader would some over to me, and my lock partner, whisper the offender's number to us, and come the next ruck or maul.... they would find themselves enforced.
