Have to agree the Pumas were mighty impressive in their defence in those last minutes.Got to feel for the French though,must be a hek of a lot of pressure on them playing at home.

All I can say is Go the Boks. :D How were those try's by Brian Habana ? Luckily he plays for the team I support in the Super 14 i.e the reigning champions The Bulls. :lol:

The big one from a South African and English perspective,is this Firday evening when the Boks meet England at 21H00. :D Other than the sky falling on my head,as Asterix and Obelix were so fond of saying,I will be glued to the TV. :lol:

20 teams? cool, never really actively watched it but it seems like a cool game. Any Swedish team?

Mats I am afraid there is no Swedish team competing in the World Cup.Not even sure if you guys have a rugby team to be honest.

Soccor here is almost a swear word considering how crap our national team has performed of late. :cry: Carlos Perreira reckons we are not ready to compete in 2010......and were the host nation! :shock:

Mind you we scrapped a 0 - 0 draw against Uruguay last night in a friendly so maybe there is hope...

Anyway roll on Friday night for South Africa versus England in RWC . :D

Mats the USA put up a good showing against Tonga yesterday.Grid Iron without the pads... :lol:

I tell you drawing against Uruguay these days doesn't say much....our team is so inconsistent with the results that it's hard to predict anything, given that nowadays the whole team is driven by the interests of one person that pretty much owns Uruguayan football....sad... :x
