Rugby World Cup 2015

[superheavyrhun]

Wales gave it a go, but were outsmarted by a tough team, in what I fear maybe a clean sweep of Southern Hemisphere sides in the semis. This World Cup has shown the Northern Hemisphere has a lot of catching up to do.

Could well be the case, Argentina v Ireland is where this sweep will be won or lost, and it is much closer than the Irish hope it will be. France are showing some character, but really NZ have to be a hugely strong favourite from their position at 24-6.

The All Blacks are putting in a performance that is a level above anything seen so far. That is what they can do, that no one in the Northern Hemisphere can approach. Australia are the only team that might compete on this form.

The all black jersey is very expensive but looks cool cost over £50. England is half that.

Yes, but why buy a jersey that you can only wear in the privacy of your own home?

What are Argentina doing beating Ireland? This should not be happening.

You reckon? I would call it pick'em beforehand; and 15 minutes in an easy Argentine win. But kudos to Ireland they are showing spirit and are still very much in it.

And now Ireland...

Some rightly suggested English rugby is in crisis; this weekend has shown it is the all of the Six Nations that are not up to scratch and need a rethink.

Argentina are the real deal, if they sort out the lineout and have a bit of luck, on this performance they could do the Aussies next week.

Scotland could pull this off!!!!

Maybe not.

Maybe not.

I think that the Six Nations teams in the quarters all had plenty of courage showing in their performances, apart from France, but I think Argentina have come on in leaps and bounds since joining the Rugby Championship, and they might give the Aussies a run for their money.

Scotland were brave, but like Wales they just couldn't hang on for the win.
