Perhaps a little, but they are a good side. New Zealand were almost flawless today.Quote:

anyways....12 years since the all blacks suffered defeat in a WC, the fist 25 mins in the SF will be epic
Wales v France will be interesting tomorrow - I would normally expect wales to win but France have always got a game in them. On top of that the performance from the other teams that got an extra week off could mean that France are much fresher.
I feel that we are a better side. Even if France being their best I think we are better.Quote:

Going to be good. Cymru am byth!
You’re definitely the better side.Quote:

Missed the 1st half of England vs Australia game this morning. On the 2nd half showing, England looked really good and got the job done in comfortable fashion.
New Zealand vs Ireland - was expecting New Zealand to win and they clinically did just that. Ireland couldn’t live with them but then again, don’t think there is any nation in the world that can stop them when they really are on form. Such a joy to watch.
Tomorrow we have the final two quarter finals ties and both look like real crackers, particularly the latter one:
Wales vs France
Japan vs South Africa
that was a reprieve there for the welsh with france deciding to take a pretty difficult kick instead of going for the kill against 14 men ...and missing
they might regret not taking the opportunity
They've missed lots of chances, could have been a 20 point lead. France never sustain levels for 80 mins, I fancy Wales to come back. Vive les bleus:sauzee:Quote:

They've been well on top but did that very French thing of chucking the ball about randomly when the simple thing would have given them more joy.Quote:

That has to be a red. Sickening hit with the elbow.
Merde
Dirty bassa
gits, william hill were very quick to change their odds :greengrin
That French player deserves a good kicking from his teammates.
What an idiot. Miles the better side and they’re going to throw it away with indiscipline.
I wouldn't like to be him in that dressing room once this is over :greengrin
Also with Ntamack off injured they've lost their kicker and best attacking option

Wales leaving it late
they've done brilliantly with 14
and then they **** up with their own scrum
Half an hour with 14 men was really admirable but it's over now.
Wales try 6 minutes left.
20-19 Wales.
Could’ve easily been called forward.
Surprised they don’t use lines on the screen like VARQuote:
