Can't wait now!

Stolen lineout.....bring on Palmer!

 

[Black Heart]

Well, that's a cracking stadium that they have in Otago! Wonder if the local NZers will get behind England in their 'All Black' kits...
Also apparently more Puma fans there than English!

I think you will find most Kiwis will be supporting any team outside the top 4 (England, France, Australia and South Africa) We saw how much the crowd got in behind Japan against France.

Dunedin is also a "Scottish" city so supporting the English will be a bit ridiculous lol.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Fun fact:

I've always pronounced (in my head) Dunedin as "Dunner Din" not "Done Eden"


/Fun Fact.





Sloppy start, I'm not a fan!

 

[ckell]

Great start by the Pumas, England badly need a foothold here.

Phil Vickery is incredible in that when he is talking he somehow manages to say nothing at all.

Wasn't sure they'd appreciate the kit is what I meant and yeah, loved the support for Japan! Sounded like an epic atmosphere!

Also Phil Vickery commentating...please make it stop

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Haha, I think Vicks is all right, he's better than Gommers!

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Ironicly Nick Mullins used to pretty tidy when he was with the Beeb

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

oh look, theres ashtons breakdown penalty for the game.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Oh **** Off Bryce Lawrence



Ironically for Ashtons one he didn't do anything wrong - he was released before he stopped/was on the ground and rightly got up

If you are sick of the ITV commentators then do what I do. What it on ITV then listen to the alternative rugby commentary at http://www.arcrugby.co.nz/ Must admit it is great fun

But he didn't release before he got back up. It was a very tough call. Some refs will ping it, others won't.

Contempomi is one hairy mofo.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

to be honest if theres a crappy arm-wrestle of a match its fairly often englands fault but this time its definitely Argentina who seem determined to fanny around on the half-way line doing nothing and waiting for bryce to give them a penalty.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

ahhhhhh good break from foden, but he really should have got that pass away earlier and allowed armitage to take it in his stride

 

[TRF_Olyy]

But he didn't release before he got back up. It was a very tough call. Some refs will ping it, others won't.

He doesn't have to if the tackle isn't completed though, does he? He can just continue running?
Like with an ankle tap?



I might be getting Rugby League rules mixed in here :lol:










Steve Thompson getting right under Ledesma's skin
Hahah, he kissed him!

 

[Black Heart]

Lmao. I always knew Thompson was a homo.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Oof, Wilkinson's going to have one of those days isn't he?
Where he missers the sitters and gets all others
Get Armitage or Wigglesworth kicking the easy ones
