    Just watching S.A, vs Argentina. Have to say The Pumas look pretty useful. Currently leading The Boks 21-13 on their own turf.

    Anyway, just thought I'd see if I could get some interest to exchange some views over the coming W.C.

    As a Bok supporter, my expectations are pretty low. Think Abs will win again.

    Sloppy at times from England, but a potential banana skin avoided - and a bonus point. But, the scoreboard flatters England, IMO.

    There's much tougher games ahead and if England don't up their game, they'll be in for a rough ride.

    Yeah, England are playing some provincial lot :)

    The midfield is going to be confrontational. Roberts opposite Burgess should register on the Richter scale!

    Should be a good game that can go either way, I think wales will nick it with 8 lions in the squad....

    As you say, could go either way. I think you'll seriously miss Halfpenny. As usual, whoever wins the set pieces will most likely come out on top.

    Far too predictable and laborious from England! Too many unforced errors.

    And bye, bye, England.....poor, very poor!...

    Every single time I watch England, the game is littered with errors from us.

    Whether it's crap lineouts or just clumsily giving penalties away, we gift sides so many damn points.

    But yeah - we're basically out now. Wales and Australia are no mugs and it was a tough pool but it's embarrassing on your own soil to say the least.

    Two many penalties, this is also what happens when you don't pick people because they play in france or make a bit of a **** up personal wise. The phrase is don't cut off your nose to spite your face!

    We need to beat the Aussies and hope Wales don't. But this is the game we needed to win. It was at Twickenham, and we ****ed it up against, it has to be said, an under strength Wales team.

    I'm sorry , just because they have had a good run, after being crap for years does not make them invincible, England will be pissed off knowing they should have won that game, they are going to tear Australia a new arsehole and shove both feet in!

    If we can't beat a half strength Wales, I don't hold out massive hope against the Wallabies!...
