Also pretty good match from France, at least the second half, first was ugly. Very bad news for Huget though whose World Cup has ended already. | ||

France did well, but I can't imagine France without Huget, he's been so good defensively and offensively for France | ||

Always had a soft spot for them, hope they continue to go well in this WC. Also I feel sorry for whoever is playing RSA next! | ||

Cheers There is no injury time in rugby, when there is a long stop (injury, ref discussing with TMO, etc.) the clock is paused. However the game doesn't end at 80:00 precisely (like in soccer for example), but the "advantage" has to be played out. So: - the game goes on until a fault is committed (pass forward, ball goes out, someone scores) - if I'm playing with an "advantage" (i.e. the opponents commit a fault while I'm playing so I would get a penalty in my favor) and I commit a fault (pass forward,...) the game restart from the penalty (so it can go longer than 80min even with multiple plays after the 80th minutes). Note that you cannot voluntarily throw the ball outside of the field (to stop the game) unless you are kicking it out. An epic example (Amazing Shane Williams...) Here Wales transform the try and there are still 10 seconds to play, so the ref cannot stop the game, even if at the end the restart from Scotland happens already in over time. P.s. the whole point of the game is to create a mismatch between attack and defense, where the attackers are more then the defenders (ideally you should always score/pass the defence, in a 3v2 or 2v1 situation), so having one or more players sin-binned (yellow card - 10min out) it's a big deal and almost always results in points for the team with more players Wow I love the rugby world cup, so much rugby to watch..!!! :D :D :D | ||

Oh geez, that'll be physical. Samoa have been pretty good lately, I'll try catch that game i think! I kinda hope you guys rest JDV or something, i really think your centres are better without him now | ||
