What a Brutal Beautiful Macho world cup this has been.
You see more men poleaxed than a Friday night down the old Kent Road. The game will carry on as Hairy arsed men have dislocated arms and bloodied faces patched by the medics as the game carries on around them up for the next bruising encounter. There is less blood in an episode of casualty than on the battle fields of this WC.
Class sides always start getting better when the quarter finals come along, This Tournament is for New Zealand to lose as they have the best 23 players on the planet. South Africa and Australia will be a harder test for the All blacks.
Nigel Owens is a top class Referee who gets most of his big calls right, But Carter took his conversion quickly before Owens could check to see if a forward pass had occurred for the 8th try. Just like the Football semi final between Germany and Brazil, the Towel had already been thrown in, to stop further punishment.
You could also hear Owens make a little comment to Carter after he'd converted. "took that one quick enough, didn't you!"
Have to admit I am getting a bit hacked off with all the ridiculous posturing of the kickers these days. Dan Biggar is by far the worst. Pulls his shorts up, looks like he's having a fit, while making sure he sorts his hair out, before actually calming down to take the kick.
I think a few props should just tell these lads to have a look at themselves. If that doesn't work, twat it out of them!!!

Argentina well worth their win in that one. Think their federation might be making another crack at getting into the Six Nations after this World Cup.
Why would they want to? The Six Nations is a worse competition than the one they're in.
They're improved by playing against the others in the Southern Hemisphere. They played well and deserved their win today. Ireland had the chance when they got back to 3 pts and then couldn't push on. Might have been different if the ref had shown the red card to the bloke who had already been sin binned.

Last one out, turn the lights off.
Looks like an all Southern hemisphere Semi finals.
Argies hit post with penalty to make it 23-3 and Irish go up other end and get converted try to make it 20-10.
If Ireland get first points of 2nd half I reckon Argentina will collapse.
Wait a few minutes for the TMO to decide whether to send somebody off. Better things to do with my life!
Argentina love running with the ball but could run out of steam .
23-20.

They need two converted tries.
Won't happen.

No Six Nations team will be in the RWC semi finals.
At this stage, going into the Six Nations would be a big step down. All four big southern hemisphere teams are better than anyone in the 6N.
Scotland get to the QF by beating Samoa and knackered Japan
Ireland win their group by edging a win over France, who were completely stuffed by NZ
If England and Wales had been separated, then England would have reached the QF, and Wales would have had one less draining game in the group stage.
The 6 Nations champions of the last two years have been hammered by the worst side in the Rugby Championship.
(I am aware that they finished third in a reduced competition this year)
It would have been good for England to get to the quarter-finals, but they would not have gone any further.
