That's normally how it works however in this sport there is a gee hair between the teams ranked 1 and 4 and an ocean separating 4 from 5. I love top level rugby but once its goes beyond that it can be a bit shit. The underdog stands no chance, they can't fluke a 1 nil like in football. England have no chance next week.

 

You can't "fluke" a 1-0 in football if you play into the hands of a stronger team. But you can set out a strategy that aims to reach the final quarter of a game within reach of the stronger side and hope that you can get the score you need. 

 

That said, the ZA strategy will be draw us in, hit us hard and play it wide to Kolbe or Arendse. If they get a clear run at us, that's it...

 

We'll need Tuilagi fit and well up for it. By far the best player we have, when fit. Will also need the pack to be on it, as we'll probably have a smaller back row (although maybe Billy comes in at this stage).

Argentina 3-0 New Zealand 

 

Started well here

[Lee909]

Well this is only going one way now

 

Argentina can't defend for shit

[johnsusername]

Semi final dead rubber. 

[Lee909]

Don't think this ref is helping at all. Seems to be very one-sided even if the Argentines have been undisciplined 

[johnsusername]

Game over. Bit of a waste of time. 

[ZonkoVille77]

Not an enjoyable watch. All one-sided.

[No2]

Like a preseason friendly. 

[ZonkoVille77]

Bit of a joke now. The draw really ruined the tournament, but that's how the cookie crumbles.

[johnsusername]

Joke of a semi final. There have been too many ridiculously one-sided matches in the tournament. 

 

 

[The Midnight Rambler]

Just like watching.. Brazil.

[sir roger]

Seems a bit odd seeing as they were semi-finalists,but I would probably vote for Argentina as the biggest disappointment in the tournament or maybe second to the Aussies.

[Lee909]

Good start for England. They'll need more than 3pts on attacks though

[Lee909]

Farrell needs to shut his mouth 

[Lee909]

England physically giving the boks a bit of their own medicine so far. Big hits and causing turnovers. Worry is if they can keep it up for 80 and they are only 6pts up

[Rushies tash]

South Africa seem rattled. Surely they won't carry on being this bad.

[No2]

Mourinho ball versus Dyche ball.

[Anubis]

Mistakes starting to creep into England’s game.

[ZonkoVille77]

Sloppy game. Very surprised to see England doing so well. If they keep their discipline they could win this. 

[Rushies tash]

George needs fucking off these line outs.

[Lee909]

That's some drop goal from Farrell

[Creator Supreme]

England have got this, the Saffers have been shite.

 

England are going to fluke the world cup.

 

Farrell is a mouthy Manc twat!

[an tha]

This england rugby team are like the greek team that won the european championship!
