Oh, guy on the news said it was the semis tonight =/


Why are the South Africans called Springbox? Wasn't that just the name of the club team in Invictus *I don't know Rugby*
 
Nah, first two quarters today and the last two tomorrow. Then next week we've got the semi's and the week after that we've got the final and 3rd/4th playoff (or in other words, the "put the boot into the two losers" game).

Wales playing smart rugby with their kicks. I'm amazed at how much Wales have improved under Gatland (with the young Welsh talent helping him out). Waikato legend that man.
 
Another Welsh try! Brilliant work from Jonathan Davies. Booked their spot in the semi's I think.

BigJonsson: Invictus was about the 1995 Rugby World Cup. :P Springboks is just the nickname they've been given, though there've been some problems with it since a number of people still associate it with the Apartheid.

Oh right, it was lol

Team Canada needs an awesome name for hockey.........like........Beavers



Edit - He did not just ask if its going to rain on Ireland's parade as it starts raining..........I love British sports analysts.........though it may be an Aussie........
 
Wales will be in the final

Also fuck shit my stream stutters every time someone is near the triline god damn it shitty balls
 
What is this hockey, I have never seen so many post hits in a game.

Edit: Similar fuck ups in the stream are happening to me at important parts.
 
It's such a shame both these teams had to meet in the quarters, they both deserve to kick on to the semis. Unlike bloody France and England, both of them shouldn't get anywhere near the final after the way they've played.

Are they called Tony and Justin? If so then they're NZers. Much better accent than Aussies or Brits.

Ireland look like they're exhausted and out of ideas. Feel sorry for them, they've been immense and deserved a semi spot.

Priestland must be the best 10 in the NH, surely?

Dude, what are you talking about? We're the only ones who can spot the difference between our own and the convicts accent.

See, told ya.
 
Sigh my prediction was correct, wanted Ireland but wales is too good. I think wales is finals material, Ireland's attack looked HORRIBLE in that game, like they just had no organized moves at all.

Sorry Ireland, they deserved a win for fan representation alone!

I'm backin wales all the way until they meet nz, if nz can't get to the final then let's go wales, new name on the cup!!
 
Completely thrilled with that game. I was shaking all the way through, but Ireland never looked like they'd gain much of a lead, if any, on this Welsh side.

Once we'd got 12 points clear, however, I knew it was in the bag. What a game! I think Wales are finals material now. We're definitely a contender in this tournament now.

it's really easy. wait for a word with i in it.

so fish and chips becomes fush and chups. or wait until someone score sex or sux (6) points. to get up a level you oftern have to climb steers.

australians live across the dutch (ditch)


it's really easy to tell.

I never really understood why Australians continually go on about "fush and chups", it doesn't sound like that at all. The real difference I think is that we just under pronounce our vowels.

Also, that video isn't the greatest, she sounds weird and talks way too slowly.

BanGy.nz: Pfft, they sound whinier and pronounce their vowels a fair bit stronger.

Anyway, back to the game. Congrats Wales, you totally deserved it. Best NH team by far, I really hope you guys make the final. Can we have our Gatland back now?

Sucks for Ireland, they would've cleaned up France or England (or Australia, again) but that's the luck of the draw I guess. Just not as fit or smart as the Welsh. Real pity that'll probably be BOD's last RWC appearance.
 
Quite a start! My stream got copyright killed, talk about panic. Got an nz one now. I think the French came to play!

Most of the team come off as being selfish, arrogant and lazy, it was only a matter of time before someone ripped us apart.

Tuilagi is fantastic though.
 
This England team have got to be the dumbest team in the world. I figured they'd still be good enough to beat this French team but nope. A French ruck? Let's blatantly flop over it. Smart idea idiots. You deserve to lose.
