Argentina did a great job and Ireland had to many injuries to match them.But even with Sexton, i'm not sure they would have done any better than this. There's a reason why the NZ-Argentina match was good, it's because Argentina plays well and they're certainly aiming high. Australia won, but Scotland played their heart out. Of course they managed to stay in that game because Foley was having a bad day and the absence of Pocock was truly showing in the rucks. But they can certainly be very angry at Joubert, bad day at the office for him, how can anyone call that an intentional knock on, even consider giving a penalty try? The ball is getting right to his hand, is he supposed to let it go to his opponent? The yellow card implied try for the wallabies. Also, the penalty given when Genia intentionally sent the ball on the player getting back to his side is so so... there's no intention to play, he's getting out of the ruck, i can't see a bloody penalty. The last penalty, i didn't watch the end, but it seems controversial from what i read. Many decisions that have a great impact on the final score, with such a little margin in the end, one could be unhappy in Scotland tonight... I would have liked the upset, especially given that Scotland is really bad nowadays, so it would have been funny to see them getting further than any Euro team. Now i hope for NZ>SA, Arg>Aus and then may the best team win. My bet though is NZ>SA, Aus>Arg and NZ>Aus. | ||

Ireland with all the injuries and Obrien was fucked, Wales with all the injuries almost made it and Australia needed Joubert to beat freaking Scotland. 4/4 semis obviously but it's not like it was total obliteration. | ||

Yeah, really can't fault Ireland, Wales or Scotland. England is the only sucking one | ||

Wales and Ireland at least had some injuries but that shouldn't be an excuse. Aussies had two of their best out too. The north are losing ground to the south more and more. But I guess everyone sucks in comparison to the All Blacks. This tourney is a doddle for them. | ||

Wales and Ireland have 0 depth right now, if they get some of their major players injured they're 100% fucked. Scotland is like the laughing stock of the 6 nations alongside with Italy (and France :D). In most WC the northern countries are going to the semis by beating each other, beating a southern nation is always rare in the knock out stage. | ||
