"Meant to" wtf

I never deviated from topic, I am allowed to tell someone to get off my back if all they are doing on this forum is winding people up

**** off

I think the guy is a troll or a New Zealander trying to wind you up. At this point people are just ignoring the fact that errors in refereeing swing both ways, and as you pointed out Scotland shouldn't of been awarded a try last week which could of put them out. I also keep going back to this...

Bit of an irrelevant dig at England

Yes I would, I think England won the world cup in this very situation against Australia. There is only so much you can do in defence, with the ball in the hands of a team with conviction you have the ball in your court..especially with that field position. How would you stop a drop goal from 20...

I agree that is is irrelevant to the exact point in question, however the fact is by throwing this way and creating a complete mess of a line-out they opened themselves up to what happened and subsequently the ref made a split decision on what he saw. Having thrown to the front and wound down...

I would also add that a lot of teams would rather have possession of the ball at this point, considering you can't do anything without it.

Still not the point I am making. I am saying that quite a lot of people are suggesting Scotland would of been in the semi-final if the correct decision was made which just isn't the case. Australia could still have won from that position. It has also been stated here already but if Scotland's...

I think you are missing the point. I am saying that Australia would of had a scrum in an attacking position deep in Scotland Territory and therefore the game would of still be up in the air. The suggestion from a lot of people is that Scotland would of won if the knock on was given but its not...

I think the point being over looked here is that if Joubert had made the right call it did not put Scotland into the semis. The media is suggesting the game was done and dusted at the point of this call when in actual fact there was 2 minutes to play and an Australia scrum would of taken place...

What a load of rubbish..Rugby is an inclusive game and someone's background doesn't make them any less committed or have any more or less right to compete and play Rugby at the highest level. Whether they are born with a silver spoon or from an as you put it "working class" family as long as...

I called this a mile off. Still fail to see how the bookies and a lot of pundits had Ireland as the favourites..they were wobbly before this World Cup and during against Italy, beat a France team who have been shown to be way off the pace and I think that's where all the hype came from...

Australia will win this comfortably..as someone who closely watches the 6 nations year on year there is just no way Scotland have anywhere near the class to beat Australia. Unlike Wales they just don't possess the same gritty determination and defence to enable them to win a game like this. They...

I don't think Wales have enough to their game to pull this one off. SA look very strong and group stage upsets should not even be drawn upon at this stage (look at France in 2011). Wales scrum has been put under pressure in every game they have played so far and when you actually look at the...

Even though I don't consider this an upset and think its crazy how much people are virtually placing Ireland in the semi-finals. In my personal opinion I think Argentina are more likely to win this match. They came 3rd in 2007 and have come a long way since then. Being in the Rugby Championship...

I would honestly assume from this that they choose Ford at flyhalf and Farrell wanted to play so they gave him a place. Before this selection I was pro the coaches and now it proves there is obviously an issue here. Why on earth in this game would you pick Farrell at 12. Burgess could genuinely...

Although Ireland have a strong team and coach this year I still don't see the claims of them to win the whole thing coming true. The French pack is extremely strong at the moment and Ireland have looked 7/10 in recent outings (warm-up/pool games). France for me are the only genuine NH contender...

To be honest I don't think too many player ashamed themselves, I certainly think there are players who I thinks time should be over for England (Brad Barrit). As generally a fan of Owen Farrel I have to admit that he is not the future, Ford was the man going into this world cup and its...

I feel the French pack is one of the strongest in the tournament and considering Italy had the edge in many of the scrums yesterday I just don't see Ireland being able to live with that. I also think without BOD's Magic they will struggle to breakdown a very strong French back-line. That being...
