Rugby World Cup 2015

[Monotonous]

It's too easy to blame the coach imo. I think England needs to look at their preparation for the world cup. When you only play European teams who have a distinctive style in the lead up how do you expect your younger players, whom there are a lot of in England (a good thing in my opinion) to learn how to combat the fast, powerful nature of the southern hemisphere teams.

Honestly I don't think it that was the case. Some of the younger players showed pure class and Nothern hemisphere rugby is very similar to international level, I personally think it was due to the whole coaching staff not just Lancaster but also Farrell.

he really was, should have given the penalty try as soon as kieran read got a yellow
the quality of reffing as been so bad this tournament

I agree, the consistency between the refs has been dreadful

I am so nervous but so excited for this match...

I have so many friends there.. I hate the all!!

ANYWAY! Good performance from Ireland, a few slippy plays but we got there in the second half but at what cost??? We are potentially down four great players. O'Connell, Sexton, Mahoney off injured but don't know how long for but O'Connell wasn't looking good at all! Also O'Brien is probably gonna get cited for his punch :@

Here are the fixtures for the QF!!

South Africa v. Wales
New Zealand v. France
Australia v. Scotland
Ireland v. Argentina

South Africa v. Wales
New Zealand v. France
Australia v. Scotland
Ireland v. Argentina

Aaahhhahhhahahah I cannot handle a QF in Cardiff against France again!! It's too much! France is the one side that can play terrible throughout the tournament but then turn it on when they face the All Blacks. The only team that can do that IMO. So I am very nervous!

Australia should go through easy.
South Africa are the obvious favs for their match but I could see Wales causing an upset.

Ireland v Argentina is the most exciting match for me. Both squads are at the top of their game, I could see this going either way.

I can see it being quite an exciting Quarter Finals but yeah, easy enough game for Australia.

Maybe best story? most improved? most entertaining?
Certainly not Team of the Tournament, you need to make QF's for that. Would probably give it to Australia if I were to award it now.
