Rugby World Cup 2011

[_ed_]

It was closer than we thought - 41-10. After an excellent first half, after which we led 29-3, we should have put up a bigger score than that. But it wasn't a bad performance. I thought Kahui was excellent.

I watched a little of NZ-Tonga. I didn't realize that Rugby is more or less organized Smear the queer. Those guys are nuts

Yeah, about to watch a replay of that one now.

Good day of World Cup action. Fiji smashed Namibia 49-25. Scotland only just avoided humiliation against Romania, 34-24. France beat a brave Japan 47-21. And England triumphed in a tough, low-scoring battle, 13-9.

But the opening ceremony is still the clear highlight of the tournament for me.

Made me proud to be an Aucklander.

I doubt it, it started at 4:30am. I checked and only DirecTV has Universal Sports in my area. Guess I will have to live with the tape delays of the US matches on NBC or whomever is showing it.

Ok, so I just read all this and it looks like it is written in English, but I damn sure have no f*cking clue what it really says.

GREAT result for Ireland. And they earned it - what a massive performance. So happy for them and their fans.

So, we're up to the quarters.

Ireland v Wales
England v France
Australia v South Africa
Argentina v New Zealand

I got my ticket today for NZ-Argentina. I think we'll pummel the Pumas.

So excited - I just managed to get my hands on a ticket to next week's final.

So I'd kinda like NZ to win Sunday's semi-final...

Posters,please.



Control yourselves---one at a time.
