"The All Blacks have been dealt further backline injury problems with Richard Kahui and Israel Dagg the latest to be forced out from Sunday's Rugby World Cup quarterfinal against Argentina in Auckland".


Oh dear. Although the replacements aren't too shoddy (Williams, Muliaina), but once again it looks a bit like my team are crumpling at the pressure stage :(

Just in case you wonder what happens if there's a draw. There is then 2x10min. halves. If they are still level there is then another 10 minutes of sudden death i.e first one to score wins. And if they are still level, there is a place kicking competition. That would be fun if any of them got that far.

Soooo disappointed that Ireland did not make it through today. Wales' defence was undoubtedly fantastic but Ireland had a number of players who had a poor game, most importantly O Gara who missed a few key touch kicks.


Mike Philipps try I think was the one that broke the hearts of the Irish team. Was really one where Ireland went to sleep and the Irish forwards, on seeing the backs let him through so easily, must have been a killer especially after they had just got back to 10-10.


Wales third try also resulted from poor Irish defending - so in the end it was the defences that decided it.

Yeah, sorry for O'Gara. May be the last we will see of him in a green jersey. The defending was incredibly poor on Phillips try. Tommy Bowe who you would expect to be there had moved out of position expecting the ball to go wide. I do hope Wales go all the way though. Their pre season conditioning sessions in Poland sounded like hell. It may be paying dividends now as extra fitness in such a long tournament could make all the difference.

Some older rugby fans might be interested in a programme tonight on the Lions 1971 visit to NZ. It's on BBC1 Wales @ 10.35pm. However it is on other BBC channels next week too.


Good luck Wales tomorrow though whoever wins I'd like to see them win it outright. One for the NH.

    • Defo, where are you based so I can collect?
    • There is no other way than to move out. I am in such a situation myself where our neighbours are complete assholes. They breached the Covenants and when we pointed it they said to take them to court if we want.  Unfortunately, they have made our life miserable and we have to move out.    What helped in our situation is having a calm conversation face to face. It only happened after they tasted their own medicine(i know it's mean but nothing else helps).   I know it's unfair but better move out and prioritise your mental health. 
    • Thank you so much for the reply. Jeffery turned up a couple of hours ago. I edited title to say found but somehow it didn't save. Thank you so much for going to the trouble of posting this sighting... even if it didn't turn out to be Jeff.  Jeff came running down the street like a bat out of hell and ran into the house. Never been so relieved. Mind you i've been up and down the roads shouting his name out all day. Even in Wingfield street. 🤗
    • I saw a smallish black cat outside 1 Wingfield Street just now.  I am not convinced it was Jeff, the eyes look a little different.
