Not much happens here but it's RWC time !

Thinking I should don my AB cooking apron (that Harley gave me when he visited) this evening when I make dinner.

[Harley]

In other words I be a yarpie

Ummm....only if you have a thick Afrikaans accent.

[UROK]

Yarpies v Ockers. Biggest game so far.

Poms v Frogs looks good.

Paddies v Taffies is a big home international for Brits.

ABs v Argies is a done deal IMO.

I'm working this weekend and will miss all except Kiwis romping the Pumas.

Never assume!

[mikeratliff]

Will a thick Texas accent work fer ya? These yankees I live around up here just love it!

[Harley]

Damn...I had my hopes on Ireland beating Wales.

That would have been a nice carry over from beating Australia.

However, Wales look good at their game and are a pleasure to watch. I would not be surprised to see them in the finals.

Now to see how the froggies get dealt to.

I am an Englishman from a Welsh father who has just watched the match with a dozen Irish men here in Dublin (where I have lived for over a decade). It is nice to be in a position where I cannot lose whomever I support!
Now, where is that family tree to check for any French roots.....

True...16-zip at half time. One of the best open games I've seen for some time. Now to guess who'll win it.

What do you think of Freddie Mercury being in the French coaching team box?

[Harley]

Wow - England on the next plane home in the morning.

[UROK]

They weren't exactly convincing against Scotland. Not surprised at all.

The French have a habit of peaking at the right time i.e. as the tournament progresses.

Well done them.

Gonna watch the re-runs on Chinese TV later (replay all of both matches but with no commentary - really odd experience).

Was at work today and knew it was futile to try to avoid knowing results. Just didn't count on Harley almost providing a live feed! Excellent work!

Not gonna admit to surfing BF forum at work though. Ahem. During my breaks only...

I haven't got a problem. I've not. Really. It's fine. I'm fine. No need to make an issue of it. It's under control. I'm fine. Fine. No problem. I'm fine. Under control.

[Chris_Allen]

Same problems as the previous games. Lack of discipline and focus, schoolboy errors and a lack of believe.

The French clearly wanted it more and battled harder. Deserved winners.

[Harley]

So, no comments on Freddie Mercury's re-appearance then ?

[Dave Non-Zero]

haven't got a problem. I've not. Really. It's fine. I'm fine. No need to make an issue of it. It's under control. I'm fine. Fine. No problem. I'm fine. Under control.

hahahaha you are covering it up well. Noone has noticed....

Ahh good. People think when I go to the loo with my iPad I'm looking at porn! Ha! Joke's on them then, eh? They'll nev-urr know...

Aussies were lucky plain and simple.

Pumas had All Blacks worried for a bit. And ABs initially seemed to be trying too hard. Don't remember last time I saw 3 knock-ons in such a short space of time from a NZ rugby team. But boy can they keep the ball alive! They are the best I've seen so far despite those flaws.

Great semis! Of course Australia NZ is the pick of the two. But Wales have a pedigree in rugby. That'll be a game and half too!

Harley, you having heart attacks during that game?? You better get some medicine for next week!
