England demonstrating that if you’re positive and aggressive this New Zealand team can be shut down. Fully deserve this victory - everything we weren’t last weekend. Jones has got the prep for this tournament spot on and they fully deserve to be in the final."Worldly wisdom teaches that it is better for reputation to fail conventionally than to succeed unconventionally." - John Maynard Keynes

Everything Owens said in the clip was commendable until he brought soccer into it. I find proponents of one sport, who try to run down another odious. Just get on with the game you love and enjoy it, without feeling you need to justify something by denigrating another sport. There is no such thing as a rival sport.

Soccer as a business is fucking awful on it's own, doesn't need help pointing it out and there is no need to make yourself small by trying to favourably compare to it

Pressure in sport is something else, NZ prides itself on athelte centered coaching and letting the leaders on field lead but the backs were missing a lot today. It's easy when you have Carter, nonu or Conrad Smith like the last world cup. everything that people were criticising new zealand for in the lead up to Ireland game last week came true today.
England were outrageously good on defence though.

That show that came on after the Rugby looks nuts/daft... Ninja warrior, how is it on TV, must be some seriously bad injuries
Before I turned it off one lad fell from a decent height into a pool, the pool was narrow enough and if he came off the obsitcle at an angle he could easily be hitting the sides

Funny enough when darts player Phil Taylor had a similar record (players who beat him in tv tournaments always lost their next game) it was seen as a positive thing from Taylors pov - beating him was such a difficult and energy consuming task that players had no more to give in their next match.

In good spirits mind, but they definitely say it.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

In Kerry, Rathmore were relegated to Intermediate for the first time in 20 years. Kilcummin needed a 2nd half comeback to beat them and they themselves only won the intermediate last year.
I'll be lumping on Rathmore for any competition they're in next year, including the intermediate all Ireland club which I'll imagine they will piss through.

Another game tomorrow. Same craic, same opponents for the women in Dublin next weekend. Bringing the daughters, son refused to attend.

Two best anthems go head to head. Tension unbearable.
nkosi sikelel iafrika shades it for me, heard a gospel version of that at a wedding that was unreal. I was the only whitey there.

Both teams seem to be lacking a bit of positivity and are just wanting to grind it out, I'd have expected a bit more from the Boks.Turning millions into thousands

North a huge loss, I'd prefer to see Wales win generally but I backed England/SA straight forecast before the match yesterday so I feel I'm largely freerolling now.

Originally posted by Strewelpeter View Postquite unattractive after yesterday's game but if Wales can hang in there until about 70 mins you could get a good finish.

Could come down to an (un)lucky bounce here."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Fairly unhealthy situation.
First G1 in the UK on the all-weather, probably also first to be ran on an evening card and first in November.
