taper Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 ITV's coverage is pretty awful, although I like Girve the Swerve, Fitzpatrick and Bayfield. 830 tomorrow for the sacking of Scotland Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/19324-rugby-world-cup/page/4/#findComment-478898 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just what he says or doesn't, but his voice just doesn't sound right on TV.I think the studio guys are all good speakers. That bloody board though is a waste of time. Trying too hard to do a Sky when it's not necessary.

Alan Medic Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Great win for Tonga. Shame they didn't go for the 4 tries. Scotland looking good too. If they win by 8+ England will need Georgia to do them a favour against the Argies.

taper Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I think Johnson and his team are clueless. Why are Deacon and Tindall in the team. Why did Stevens and Wilkinson come out for the second half. First scrum with Corbs on they get the shove and a penalty. They've even coached the talent out of Youngs. Jebus. Thing is, you can see them making the final. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/19324-rugby-world-cup/page/4/#findComment-479151 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashoi Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 It wouldn't surprise me at all now if England limped their way into another final. Their ability to do that is impressive in a way, but personally I'd rather see either Ireland or Wales get there playing decent rugby. I'd be interested to see Wilkinson at inside centre with Flood at flyhalf and drop Tindall, probably too late to change much though.

maxxi Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Still waiting for England to 'click' but it doesn't happen. I remember waiting for it in 2007 but suddenly they were in the final and by then it was too late. Even the collapse of the French is conspiring to flatter them.

taper Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I think Ireland's backs are poor; they certainly played poorly against the crims. Wales look ok. No way the All Blacks are going to lose, is there!?

Alan Medic Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 No taper, I can not see England getting to the Final. As for Ireland's backs being poor, I'd rather them than England's any day. I can see them ripping Italy apart tomorrow. The AB's will still have to negotiate Australia or S.Africa and they are famous for getting the collywobbles. If they lose Carter & McCaw they will be a much weaker team. I still wouldn't rule France out either.

taper Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I think Ireland's backs are inspired. D'Arcy is a world beater and BOD's genius endures. They will certainly rip the eyeties a new one. But I reckon they'll win by loads.[edited to cover tracks] Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/19324-rugby-world-cup/page/4/#findComment-479225 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NetherbyGuy Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Well if anything good comes out of the shambles of today, then at least Johno will come to his senses and realise that Tindall has won 50odd too many caps. Never should he have been picked in the squad let alone the team. Add to that Moody is not the man he was (never an out and out real 7 anyway) and that Jonny is struggling to find his radar. Changes please based on common sense. Oh, and can someone please explain to the players on the park that the ref needs to be played - regardless of his decisions! The outside backs can set the tournament alight but can the lads up front please wake up and smell the salts/roses!!Unless they show up with game A++ they're on the next flight home. Shockingly poor and needs some significant improvement.Jonny wrist injury ? Anyone heard anything more about it?

Alan Medic Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Johnson stated he is worried about JW's injury. Meanwhile more scandal re. Tindall to hit the papers today along with another negative story about 3 other players.

taper Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Merely an edit to clarify what I meant. I'm not proud of it. So who wins the quarters. My money's on: England, Ireland, UnZud and The Bokke.

Alan Medic Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Hmmmm..........I think though I hate to write it, Ireland. After that France to start to play and win. I suspect that MJ thinks the backs just get in the way. Kiwi's to beat Argentina and the Aussies to beat SA power with silky skills. I don't think I'd bet on 3 of the 4 though.
