"I am recording the game tonight as I am out for my birthday… but it should be spectacular! Good Wales better show up! " Well it's what they've been doing, the question for me is whether they've got he ability to carry it on! It's great to see a team where the expectations weren't high become something you can be confident about challenging in each game they play (it's where they should be and I remember the days - era really - where we really struggled to do that against every team). Argentina could play a blinder though, so this could be a close one. pt | |||

Will all these lovely men be fucking at some point? What's the point, otherwise?"I really tried to like this game last year. Had a nice woman who loved it and persuaded me to watch it a couple of games but eventually I had to tell the truth. She didn't realise that the only thing I liked was the manly muscle and the massive chests. We broke up. | |||

"And Josh Adams is a very lucky boy.. a cheap shot does not still not make it a yellow " I agree, that should have certainly been a yellow. I've been really disappointed with the number of these "scuffles", they are something that is rare in the game these days.

"God I really hope Ireland get stuffed lol" France made NZ look very ordinary first game out. I suspect tonight will be the same. I discount the games inbetween, as any side would have run up cricket scores the way the All Blacks did. | |||

"We weren't terrible, scored two good tries. We lost this on the lineout. 5 bad lineouts? You can't do that. Shit..interception... that's it then. pt" Our discipline was poor also….we gave them a number of penalties which were converted and kicked long far too many times which left space in the defensive set up!! Whilst we scored 2 good tries we never capitalised and our good moments were over shadowed by poor discipline and handling errors!! We were never expected to get out of the groups but that quarter final Was winnable and I just think we gifted Argentina the win more than Argentina deserved it!! Let’s take heart though from a decent World Cup and look forward to the 6 Nations….I think we will be a much better team off the back of this tournament!! | |||

"God I really hope Ireland get stuffed lol Ireland have this in the bag!! France and SA tomorrow is my 50/50 game!!" I hope Ireland win, but NZ are tough to beat. For me, France have been the best team so far, but when it's a knockout game it could go either way. England "should" win too, certainly if Fiji play like they did last week. Cal | |||

We did gift it them on the whole I think. They were lacklustre themselves at times, and personally I think Argentina were lucky (ie in that way) more that totally deserving of it. But you have to play it to win it I accept that too, and they are a really big international side now. We will improve on this for sure. pt | |||

" I had to watch Wales play Ireland in the Republic last year, and was really surprised how 'snotty' they were over their rugby union team! Okay this generation might be the best they've ever had, but they just arrogantly expected to win everything- including their game against France! They were so dismissive of Wales I found it really disrespectful. Ireland typically did well at the Arms Park and often The Millennium/Principality too (Ireland in Cardiff was a kind-of bogey fixture for us, like for the French when we used to go to Paris) but we always showed them respect. We never said we expect to blow them away or took the piss, even when we were the better side, which was quite often. I want to see them get pulled back a peg tonight I can't deny. pt | |||

"Disappointed for Ireland, so wrong that the top two teams meet in the quarters. " . I've been reading about unfairness re Wales, but we are at the Quarter finals aren't we? If that couldn't potentially happen for nos. 1 vs 2 teams the tourno would be pretty much rigged surely. NZ had a tough group to top, and they failed to do that.. so they came second in it. Of course everyone needs to win their 'first vs second' QF, and any team who wins their QF just needs 2 more wins to take the cup. I don't really get what's unfair. Ireland were just unlucky that NZ started badly then improved to their best. You shouldn't really expect an easy QF though. One outstanding team is left in the competition too, and they were in NZ's group. So Ireland were always going to have a really-hard QF if they won their group anyway. Is that actually the problem here? There's only one game between QF and SF I would say, it's the breaks surely. pt | |||

I mean as an England fan I'd like us to progress but as a rugby fan, it will be brilliant for fiji to progress as they play by far the more watchable rugby. With farell and the 2 slow wingers he's selected the balls going to be in the air a lot which doesn't make for a great watch. Also hope France beat the bokke but head says different. | |||

"I will have my “how do you stick the 5 top ranked team in the world on one half of the draw” rant after this game has finished…. It’s going to be a doozy! " . I've been wondering about the issue with that.. Meanwhile France have converted a try already... hang on.... no just the one. pt | |||

"What a half of rugby this is! Wow! Absolutely spectacular from both sides. " It's been amazing. I think SA are trying to slow it down a bit right now though. Unsurprisingly and that's part of their game anyway. pt | |||

G" The simple way of making sure someone like that wouldn’t never had happened in the first place is not to have had “crossover” quarterfinals In a 4 group tournament…. They have all been getting 6 days rest as a minimum anyway | |||

"Good result, but doesn’t fill one with confidence about next week. SA will bully and bash their way to a win. France will run rings around that defence, and dish out a serious points filled hiding. England weren't expected to get out of their group...now they're in the Semi Final
Who knows what will happen next week, only 2 possible games left"Nobody with any real perspective didn't expect England to Win their group, they have also been improving from week to week. Obviously from what we've seen so far, you wouldn't put money on them against South Africa... but in a knockout tournament if England have a good day and SA a bad one and the result could go our way... The France/SA match was awesome... both teams deserved to win, and SA must now be favourites to take the Cup. Cal | |||

"I’ll start my rant about crossover quarter finals in a bit… but we have been denied corkers of 2 quality semi finals…. " Does it really matter where and when they were played….either way only 2 of the 4 would be in the final so to me it doesn’t matter where it happens….you don’t get anything for getting to a semi or quarter final!! | |||

"All I can say is this weekend has been filled with great rugby, amazing spirit and some great surprises
I’m so glad I’m not a betting woman, I would have lost big time
"Me too. I think Fabio might be feeling a bit cheesed off lol. It's actually been a great world cup though, and NZ, SA (who are great value) plus ENG and ARG (what should have been Wales imo - we fluffed it) are in the Semis (and Argentina aren't bad at all). That wouldn't be a disaster whatever the groups were originally, especially as Wales would have played well every game if we did get there. What's wrong with that? England of course usually do pretty well in these things. And AUS could have been in the mix too! (and in ENG's place). pt | |||

Cal"Not saying anything can’t happen, but SA will be living and breathing the game. We want the fourth win. So I’m instead hoping that both show up and it’s a great game. Obviously I want SA to beat England…  | |||
