    South Africa will get destroyed next week. NZ backs will run all over us.

    Been away from the net this weekend so couldn't comment but luckily caught the ABs live (oo and Welly ;) ) amazing game. One of the best performances I've seen in awhile. Savea finally stepping up (and more free bets for me - looking good to win $200 odd on him being top try scorer too). Retallick was amazing too, as was Richie and Carter and everyone. That was one complete performance. Can't help but outline how much we'll miss Nonu next year. I've said it before, his direct style of play gives our back line a lot more structure and is the reason we can have a lot better flow out wide.

    Saw the news, well done to the Argues and Aus but sounds like Scotland were hard done by. Will catch a replay of both tomorrow.

    Yep, not only for betting reasons. So good to see him get back to what he's capable of considering he's been average since about the semis of Super Rugby.

    Have banked 40 Euros in free bets off a 25 euro bet already and he's looking good to win it all which will return 125 Euros

    Don't know about this. SA have a much better forward pack that will put us under pressure at the breakdown and slow our ball. I just hope we have solid periods of time where we can produce some clean quick ruck ball where our backs will indeed run all over them. Also need to watch our breakdown penalties on defence.

    Shocked at how good Argentina was considering their opposition. I really thought that Ireland would be able to put them under more pressure, but they dominated the Irish all over the park. Really impressed.

    Argentina were really very good and after that start it was all over especially as Ireland lacked the 4 key players. Genuinely think all 4 teams have a chance now as I think SA NZ will batter each other senseless.

    Have to say I'm enjoying the quotes from the world rugby chief on Joubert

    "When you have a hostile 82,000 people, for whatever reason, who knows how that affects behaviour?" said Gosper.

    "I'm sure as a referee he sensed a bit of hostility."

    "Maybe he was keen to get to the bathroom, who knows?" joked Gosper to BBC Radio 5 live.

    "Craig Joubert is a superb referee and has been for a long time and he's a good man. There will be reasons for whatever Craig did."

    It should be worth noting that following Bowe's early injury they were missing arguably their 4 best players. Plus Jarrad Payne

    thanks to world rugby for the apology

    I expect the Scottish players will frame it and put it above the mantelpiece

    Ironically the Scots scored the match winning try against Samoa because of a missed knock on by the ref.....poetic justice maybe?

    Japan would have made it to the semis.

    Did you know there is a 5th place playoff? Tune into the six nations to find the winner

    Well we would have obviously just ran away from the situation, as that is the best solution to these things.

    guys from the tight five do not always throw speculative passes in midfield 30m from your own line.

    You asked what was he doing there not why is his decision making terrible ;)

    NZ v SA - Ref Garces
    Aus v Arg - Ref Barnes

    Happy that we didn't get Barnes and Garces should let the game flow enough for us to get over the line.

    Garces has never in his life blown a fair game for the Saffers. He is the worst possible appointment for that game.

    As for the Joubert criticism, it is totally unjustified imo. It was the right call.

    IMO was the wrong call, and has been said so by world rugby.

    A bit shit by the IRB to throw Joubert under the bus like that IMO
