Agree on Umaga, He's decent but definitely gets by on his name

 

[ratsapprentice]

Meh, I think that's being a little harsh - he get's by on the bench most of the time... he gets unnecessarily hyped because of his name, generally by people who haven't watched him play.

Any early shouts for the end of tournament leader? Hard to look past Ibitoye with England likely to make the final.

 

[Goodey]

Looking at the tables, a point would be enough to take England through to the semis unless France wallop Georgia by 60+ points.

 

[Toko_11]

Georgia is resting everyone they can. We're gonna end up last even if we beat France so no reason to risk injuries. They'll rest up for playoffs.

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

If you are not watching Arg vs RSA, then please,..... continue with whatever the ***** you are doing. We are just embarrassing ourselves.

Glad to see we look (at this stage) to be doing enough to go through to the play offs. Have to say there aren't any 'easy' games any more seems like.

Discipline an issue though. Our boys must watch those yellows (and that red!) otherwise we aren't going to make it to the final. We have a bit of an uphill battle as is I think.

EDIT; okay so a couple of tries either side of halftime will probably see Argentina out of this match I hope.

This match makes me feel a bit better about our losses in the tournament to Argentina last year.

 

[TRF_stormer2010]

Wow, I liked Willemse moving into the centers but did not expect such a display. Argentina probably did essentially give up but still.

 

[Caitlyn Jenner]

NZ put an absolute demolition job on Ireland too... Ireland were a bit lackluster, but that was as good as I've seen an NZ U20s team play for a while... The intensity was outstanding and never let up... from broken play they were unstoppable. Some awesome offloads, notably too by some of the low numbers.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Thank God that competition is over for us, was doomed before it started!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Seeing someone in a french jersey with an Irish accent like that is odd.

didn't know he was Trevor Brennan son.

 

[Durbanite]

My word, what happened Arg? You guys were supposed to be one of our hardest matches in the pool stages considering last year. How was it? Didn't get to see this one. Any other saffas blocked from streaming? Darn SS won't let us watch rugby unless we paying em

I'm hoping Odogwu tears it up, as i like him and don't know why he isn't in favour with England. (and shouldn't have been dropped to Nat 2).

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Malins got nailed.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

English back row getting outplayed by Aus in the breakdown currently.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

It was a problem in the Wales game that has continued here, English being FAR too lazy in defence and not getting back in position.

Bloody hell we have knocked on or got turned over on the first phase 50% of the time!
