Rugby World Cup 2015

Confused, so we are talking about the All Blacks game now?

Applies to all games, doesn't it?

 

[stoneman]

Cant wait for the game tonight, should be a helluva contest, GO THE MEN IN BLACK

I'm not sure if this is a serious question, anyone who has been watching to date would be aware that some teams favour open attacking rugby and some don't, both are still in the RWC,

 

[stoneman]

And a helluva contest it was ! Whew! =-O

An epic battle. Tense til the final seconds.

3 Japan rugby officials behind us in the JAL F checkin line at TBIT.Now in Flounge.Short chat congratulating them but they were very disappointed.They expected to get to the QF stage.

 

[Sprucegoose]

ONLY correct if Phipps did not touch the ball intentionally - the ref ruled so (Personally I think the ref got it wrong) and that's that.

.

Yes reflects the fallible human element or referring.

Does this unfairly taint the wallabies should they win the tournament?

For those OS, get ITV viewer and a VPN to London ip. works marvellously. If in doubt, GIYF.

Which VPN app do you use? I tried last week when in KL and ITV still recognized me as outside the UK.

From Madrid it didn't want to work natively. But with VPN no problems. I thought it was geoblocked, like ABC and BBC viewers?

We called DirecTV in the US and received the live games when we were there,

Good game this morning, glad it was a dry track.

Next weekend is going to be an epic final. Definitely the ideal result with the two best teams going for it to decide the 2015 RWC winner!

That bit probably favoured the Wallabies. Their scrum looked a bit sick without Scott Sio and a wet track would have accentuated that. But yes, a cracker final coming.

Slipper certainly struggled. Folau disappointing-not sure how much injury is hampering. Beale continues to push for a start.
Some good finishing on the wing. But worry that Wallabies find it difficult to close out the game early when dominant.
I thought Pocock looked like Hannibal Lecter in the first half.

I think Folua is still struggling, nowhere near his usual confidence. Good finishing of course by AAC but you have to say the defence against the wide ball was a weakness in the Argentina game, the first Ashley-Cooper was abysmal defence. Vs the Argentinians who had abundant ball but didn't really seem to have that much of an idea what to do with it, when they went wide they looked dangerous but didn't do it that much.

Despite all the talk about defence I think what has distinguished both the Wallabies and the All Blacks is that they don't only have a strong defence, when they get the ball they do know what to do with it. Pocock was great, made a huge difference as was Fardy!

I 'fess up to only watching Rugby when it's big matches (barrack for Collingwood, what can I say) I've noticed a major fall off in email traffic from my Pommy rellies.......no sledging for a week now.......I suspect they will be maintaining radio silence as they absorb the reality that the rotten Colonials have beaten em.Again

England have dropped to 8th in the world rankings too World Rugby, though not sure I understand how they aren't 7th equal with France on the same points. Southern Hemisphere top 4, and the English had such high hopes too.

Going to be in Kyoto (5* hotel) when the final is on.

Would anyone know how to watch the game in Japan ?

Have it on recording at home but would love to watch it live if possible

Is ITV the way to go [yes, I have VPN] ?

Thanks, guys & gals
