I’m delighted for everyone. Both the die hards like me and the casual watchers who tune in hoping to see Ireland do well.
The much maligned Rory Best deserves a mention. Outstanding in every aspect of hooking and even showed good dexterity with ball in hand on a number of occasions. Well done Rory. 
Denying Oz that bonus point could be crucial, Italy is far from a foregone conclusion let alone putting 4 tries on them, while if we were to fail to get 4 while beating Russia and if Oz were to win both with bonus points as you would expect they would, then we would have been level on points with them and they would have had a far superior points difference/tries scored which I think it would come down to if they got the bonus point tonight as opposed to head to head.
Looking forward to an England-Wales semi-final now.
How are we going to concentrate on the Solheim cup after this.
Didn’t he fuck up 2 or 3 lineouts.
Greg Martin - “we were beaten by a bunch of scrapers”
Matt Willians is Australian, right?
Possibly. I wasn’t paying close attention.
94’ in the Giant stadium is still out in front.
35,000 posts :lol: :lol: :lol:
Thought it was a strange decision by the Aussies not take the 3 points for the peno after 76 mins. They needed two scores anyway and it would have given them the bonus point. [quote=“chewy louie, post: 589311”]

England in the 2011 Cricket World Cup is miles in front of anything. Next would be the win against Pakistan in 2007.
The Fox guy Grant is so bitter, its hilarious. “this is typical of the Aussie coaching team, unable to get consistancy in the game” They won the last 4 games in a row against top teams :lol:
And this one was particularly sweet “we were beaten by a bunch of scrappers”. “We’re the only team capable of beating the All Blacks” :o
yes bandage, rory had a fine game, he turned two scrums for us.
Cian Healy MOTM. Magnificent trophy me hole. Cian is off on the piss!
Deccie seemed to assume that we would qualify as winners from the group.
I don’t want to panic the forum but we won the game through scrum penalties and we are unlikely to get those against the Italians. Attack wise we never looked like scoring a try ( apart from the intercept)
Why was Murray’s try disallowed by the way? I missed the replay.
Ah lovely, just fucking lovely. Aussie tosspot cunts, I admire but fucking hate them and their bad sporting horrible winning cunts. Fuck you crocodile dundee, merve hughes, barry humphries, dame edna everage and david fucking campese. Wankers. Fuck Tom McGurk, a stupid cunt. Delighted for O’Connell, Best, Healy, O’Brien warriors all. And darcy answered a few too. Anyone who thinks Cullen before O’callaghan, lads, stick to soccerball and porn. Fucking delighted for Kidney, what a sound man, and our own dancarter, enjoy this, it’s fucking immense. Lastly, George Hook, CUNT, CUNT, CUNT blowhard, asshole, wanker…
The RTE panel think the main story is the team proving them wrong.
Franno and Mattie giving very good analysis here. I presume Hook and co are sickening
