The Irish backline?

I don't think anyone has gone missing...no Union supporters anyway.

Disappointing to lose, especially to the northern shaggers, but there's always 2015...and the Six Nations to look forward to next.

Fairly sure nobody died and I don't think the players have been left homeless and I still have a roof over my head, shoes on my feet and food in the cupboard so life goes on...apologies to anyone hoping for soccer fan style tantrums but this is Union...get over yourself.

Time to finish getting ready to meet up with a mate for lunch in town.

Regards
JAS

I'm as much a union supporter as you are a football supporter.

wonder what the odds were for a France v Wales semi final at the start of the world cup :shock:

France seem to do this often, pull off a big upset in the world cup, they have played in 2 of the finals...

Glad the Welsh won

England v France was a difficult game - I hate the Poms just a tad more so was happy the frogs got up

Plus I dont get 4m texts and e-mails when the French win

What are the odds of having each hemisphere on either side of the draw?

Pretty high I would assume Jimmy. Irelands win against aus ****** the draw up. Who ever makes it from aus, nz. SA and arg side certainly deserves it and will most likely win it

Horwill crosses in the 10th minute
O'Connor penalty in 16th
Wallabies lead 8-0

8-3 at half time, I'd bring Barnes on for Cooper.
Go Wallabies.
Wow, what a diffence Pocock makes to the side!

Can this idiot ref penalise us any more? :evil:

Jim05 · Post by **Jim05** » Sun Oct 09, 2011 4:47 pm

Another penalty to the Saffers
Steyn gets the margin back to 2
Aus 8-6
Wallabies terrible in 2nd half so far, cant get their hands on it

Jim05 · Post by **Jim05** » Sun Oct 09, 2011 4:53 pm

Saffer drop goal puts them up 9-8.
20 minutes left the Wallabies look shot

Jim05 · Post by **Jim05** » Sun Oct 09, 2011 5:06 pm

O'Connor nails the penalty
11-9 Australia 8 minutes remaining

Jim05 · Post by **Jim05** » Sun Oct 09, 2011 5:13 pm

Come on Wallabies only 2 minutes left :ympray:

Jim05 · Post by **Jim05** » Sun Oct 09, 2011 5:16 pm

YEEEEEESSSSS
Piss of you bok pricks :ymparty:

Man that was intense.

Took the words out of my mouth, I was exhausted after watching that.
We would have lost that game by 20 points if we didn't have Pocock.

God I hope we bring Barnes in for Cooper next week but its nice to know that we've got 2 more weeks in NZ no matter what.

We layed 3 times as many tackles at the Boks, they dominated possession, dominated the scrums, dominated the linouts but somehow we won.

Gutsy effort Wallabies.

Bit worried about how many injuries we might have for the semi.

Hooray.

The Poms out
:arrow:

The Spud Rooters out
:arrow:

The Saffers out

Now just need Argentina to keep it going !

Had a look at a couple of South African rugby forums and they're blaming the refs, can you believe that? :shock:

Now we have to hope the Pumas beet the Kiwis, pretty unlikely considering they're paying $20!
