i would like south africa to win because if japan win wales might get to the final, and i don't like finners

Well you made it taff ..   thanks to a hotheaded French chump ...    but got a feeling we’re both going to fall foul of the all black machine  ...   perhaps we could play them at the same time to give us a chance ...

On a random note, what is it with some of the younger players going for the redneck look? Is this some fashion statement I've missed?

There's always been a bit of a weird "ironic" appreciation for a supposed "old school" look in rugby. 

 

Usually it's the Aussies leading the charge. The Honey Badger was a prime suspect.

Not round here - we're supporting Japan...  (My Mum has friends over there, and since she's joined us for the day, we have no choice in the matter! )

Well done Wales I fancied them to do it today, great stuff!

[Finnegan]

The Japanese anthem is kinda hauntingly beautiful when a whole stadium is singing it. It's not rousing like a lot of the anthems but I bet it sends chills if you're there. 

[Finnegan]

Ominous how easy the first few minutes have been here tbf. 

[PhillippaT]

That wasn't a very good tackle  

[Vacamion]

 

As I'm from the Saff, I should really support the Saffers.

OK dad.

If Fukuoka gets his foot under that and goes for the chip, he runs that in. 

[Finnegan]

Just another reminder than Sam Warburton got sent off in a world cup knock out game for less than that.

[ScouseFox]

A bit sad I know, but I love listening to Wayne Barnes ref a game

Could have been red, Japan arent getting the borderline calls they got in the group stages unfortunately.

Could have. The one definite is that he should have referred it to the TMO and watched it again. 

 

It was great how quick he was to get in there and calm it down but he still should have watched it again. It was very borderline.

So when England get knocked out by NZ we're all Wales right?

Unreal hands from Japan. Still expect SA to win as they're the best team in the tournament

Surely not? A team of juggernauts but lack the higher gear and fluency of attacking play that NZ have. Plus the All Blacks already beat them. They'd be ahead of England and well ahead of Wales for 2nd best team though.

[Arriba Los Zorros]

Also come on Brave Blossoms!!
