Aussies reckon getting t the final shouldn't be too hard from here. To be fair, I think they've looked the best allround side so far.

They're desperately hoping France do their usual job on the Kiwi's.

France will be a tough game for the kiwi's because they've had a pathetically easy ride this far and France are coming in off a really tough game and will know they need to up it a couple of levels.

I bet on Australia at the start and I've seen nothing to suggest that wasn't a really good use of the money.  Right now I'd be going for Oz vs SA in the final.

Unfortunately I think NZ will step up a few gears this weekend and will smash France (be funny if France won though the country would go into melt down).

A sad ending to Paul O'Connell's superb international career.

Yes, he deserved a more fitting exit.  Ireland will miss him but, such is sport that both Brian O'Driscoll and Ronan O'Gara hardly seemed to have been missed at all.

Because it happened on half time we - the TV viewing public - missed a huge ovation in the stadium (apparently).  They mentioned it during the half time commentary if I remember correctly.

Tyler Morgan picked by Wales for the QF.

Makes sense, since James Hook can cover more positions from the bench.

My cousin was having a coffee with Ty's dad when he got the text from his son to say he was playing. Father is a bit pleased.

If your from the Forest, everyone is your cousin?!

I really dislike Wales.

[Monty]

Welshmen haven't put in this much effort in defence against South Africans since Rourke's Drift.

[paul_e]

That's [iss poor from the blindside winger, terrible decision to go in and leave that massive gap, has probably cost them a semi-final place there.

[PaulWinch again]

Get in delighted with that.

[Jon Crofts]

Good. Welshists can all shut the fuck up again and go back to singing and sheep worrying.

[silhillvilla]

The French are taking a beating here

[Jon Crofts]

McCaw is the wrong side at every fucking opportunity.

Careful, Leeg is on the warpath about incorrect use of You're and Your

Whilst in theory, your assertion isn't far wrong, the coffee was being drunk in Newport
