Rugby World Cup

So then, the semis have now finished and the long awaited Final is less than a week away (only because its at 0900 BST is it less than a week technically).

Lets have a quick overview of this penultimate weekend of World Cup action.



Wales V France - Well as a home nation, I was supporting Wales. Wales looked really good, the French dominated the beginning of the match but good defence. Then, the idiot of a referee ALLAIN ROLLAND, (Irish eyes were NOT smiling on him!) sent off Sam Warburton for a dangerous tackle. I am not saying Warburton shouldn't have been disciplined, yes Penalty yes to yellow but to send him off NO NO NO! Rolland destroyed all hope of Welsh comeback I thought then the French went awol for the second half, they have to thank Parra for his kicking in the first half because Wales were fantastic and hold their heads high.

I would can not wait for Wales to get Third Place they have been the better team throughout compared to France and have been harshly beaten



New Zealand V Australia - Two Words - Quade Cooper! What the hell, New Zealand born, Australian player and it showed. He obviously went out on a one man mission to make sure that his country of birth won this match. He was shocking, he dropped the ball, he miskicked, he threw silly passes...well just about everything he touched went wrong. New Zealand, lets not take anything away from them, they dominated possession 80% at one point, were big powerful runners, kicked intelligently. Really good Southern Hemisphere team, the best in the world. Yes, I would say so.



Something spooky could happen next weekend....in 1987 New Zealand hosted and Won the RWC, they beat France. In third, Wales and Fourth, Australia.
Well, the ties have been set up for the same finishes will it happen....time will tell.
