Well at least we won something. Wallabies beat All Blacks 27-19 to take out the championship.
In another suprise Argentina handed the wooden spoon to the 'Boks by beating them 37-25.

best rugby result for a long time

any remote chance of winning back the Bledisloe Cup?

Always difficult to win at Eden Park but on yesterdays effort i'd say we are in with a chance.

No surprise in the Bok game. The bizarre selections over the past month have led to this.

Argentina beating SA for the first time ever is still a surprise.

Not really Vilks. The problems in the front row, the lunacy of picking three fetchers as the loose forwards, the slowness of the scrum half, the continual playing players out of position in the backs. The mysterious love affair with Jean de Villiers, to say nothing of Meyer's obsession with veteran players. The writing has been on the wall for 3 years. Personally I wrote off the WC last years. We will be lucky to progress past the quarters.

I watched this game with my South African host after returning from Trent Bridge.

Fair to say neither of us were happy with the sporting outcomes yesterday. However a fantastic barbecue/braai with red wine, and a bonfire to satisfy any and all pyromaniac tendencies put the world right again.

Excellent, glad to hear you're still having a good one .

Had a beer with Hass in the White Hart pub in Aldgate today and couldn't believe it when he told me won the 2nd Bloodyslow match. I thought that had become an impossibility.

It was just the first one Skulls. We still have to win next week to take the Bledisloe.

Hass works for the news ...he knows the results weeks before they happen

just watched this again. all blacks gave it to us. so many handling errors and dan carters kicking was so substandard youd almost think he was deliberately throwing the game

they wont play that badly two games in a row. wed have to step up a lot to have any sort of chance at eden park

My bad, Mr D. I assumed when he said we need to win at Eden Park that it was 1-1.

The Rugby Championship & Bledisloe were shortened this year because of the WC later in the year.

Our first chance to take the Bledisloe in years & they play Quade Cooper....FFS!!!

Blecks lead 13-6 at the half

...and Cooper gives away a penalty try.& is sin binned  ...thanks you fu**ing useless kiwi hack...now fu*k off & with the grace of God you will never wear & Wallaby jersey again.

Coopers craphouse antics have opened up the floodgates for the Blecks. They are now walking away with it. Not that i expected the Wobblies to win at Eden Park but i thought they would at least make a game of it.

At least you won't be losing to Argentina today.
