How can there not be a try if AUS scored 10?

a few penalties and a field goal? shit i duno im not a rugby man.

So true.

We should have used 3 jockeys in the front row. England would have taken them more seriously.

Agreed, I've never seen a wallabies front row dominated like that. England made us look very ordinary. They deserved their win. Our forwards should hang their heads in shame, so slow to the breakdown all game. Our backs kept us in it as best they could. I'm gutted.

Kiwis must be stoked.

We had a converted try (5+2) and a penalty (3)..........is horrible to lose to a team that doesn't score a try tho.......their forwards were too good.

It was a rhetorical question. If we have 10, we have scored a try, there's no other way

Errm ............ok...sorry I should have read the whole post first.

Forgive me, still in shock.

I have never seen a worse scrum from a top tier international rugby team. Our backs looked dangerous but our pack is a disaster.

And thank God that George Gregan is retiring. They should have groomed his successor three years ago. His cleanout and distribution is pedestrian. He hardly runs the ball any more and is so predictable and easy to pick off it is a joke.

Go France! 13 all in the second after being down 13-0 late in the first half.

 

[hype]

How bad was that forward pass

 

[hype]

Oh god.. the tension

THEY HAD IT AND ****ED IT UP

 

[wce_all_da_way]

[DeadlyAkkuret]

HAHA, FRANCE! WOW NZ suck!

 

[hype]

Wow that last 5 minutes was crazy

 

[hype]

Two of the 3 favorites are out!

 

[wce_all_da_way]

Go Fiji

 

[Bombers_Forever]

LOL at New Zealand!

But seriously, Australia was pathetic. They lose to a team that did not score a try.........pathetic.

Go Fiji!

 

[Juddism]

France v Pumas final I reckon...we played shit last night but I'm surprised to see NZ get done be Le Bleu, then again, NZ are known for choking when it comes to the WC.

I watch the Wallabies every chance I can, but i'm not a hardcore union fan. There are two things that always seem to be a problem for us: a weak scrum and terrible goal kicking. It seems like our forward pack has been shizen for a few years now and nothing has changed. Guys like Dunning and Baxter don't seem to be world class players yet continue to get a game. And is Mortrlock really the best kicker we've got. We really need someone who is pretty much lights-out when taking the penalties.

^^^

yeah what was the deal with Mortlock kicking, he's been out injured and was taking all the shots when Giteau should at least taken the ones from the right side as he's a left footer to reduce the angle, but no arrogant mortlock comes in thinking he's all that and single handedly cost us the game. piss poor effort

 

[Bombers_Forever]

Agree with the comments on Mortlock. We really miss Elton Flately's goal kicking

 

[Ray Nolan]

Ah! A silver lining in the cloud! Thank you Les Bleus!!!!

 

[Bombers_Forever]

Seriously, if South Africa don't win from here (given NZ and Aus are out), they will never win it again

 

[Dyslexic Emo]

I really don't care who wins it, just ANYONE except england, Of course it would be nice for a team who is yet to win a WC to win it say Fiji/Argentina. Actually, I odn't want South Africa to win it either, They smell

 

[_shifty_]

Lets Go Fijiiiii
