Anybody watching the first game? Blood everywhere and 200 miles an hour. Argentina have come on by leaps and bounds. Game is a cracker.

I tried, really I did, but I just can't get into rugby, it's so god damned boring.

I'm going to watch my BWFC v Reading playoff dvd instead

Ain't nothing boring about this one. Stade de France is on fire and the Argies are leading the Frogs by 17-3 at half time.

Meh

there's no rhythm, they get the ball, pass it, then fall over for 20 secs, then get up, pass it, and fall over again.

Bloody annoying sport - only worth watching for the fights, same as ice hockey.

You should really lay off the Smarties

On the basis of the first sixty minutes, I'd say Gerald Cid has either been training with the French rugby team or coaching them.

Argentina were pure quality ... the match could still be going on right now, and France still wouldn't have crossed the line.

Pity I had £800 on France

Role on the Wallabies ...

Oh dear... Farrell at 10 tonight?

I'll be watching in an Irish pub, but I'm bracing myself for a bad defeat.

Think you'll find Catt prolly does more of the 10 duties...

Yeah I know, and he'll definitely start there... but it's a bit desperate that we're even contemplating playing a guy there who's never played fly half in his life!

Worthy4England · Post by **Worthy4England** » Fri Sep 14, 2007 11:00 am

Seem to remember Farrell, on occasion, did a lot of the kicking for Wigan in his day after Gregory and Edwards had gone, fairly sure that Catt has filled in at Fly-Half too. Not ideal, but if that's all we got then you gotta use it. Even if Wilko was declared fully fit, they must have had some suspicions that he might not last the tourney given his injury record....

Think you're prolly right DLH...but on occasion, the Bok's have been known not to "turn up" for the odd game here and there...
