congrats to the england rugby team
Brilliant game on Saturday, was shouting at the TV for the final whistle to go!
Missed yesterday's result, who are we playing in the final, South Africa or Argentina?

That would be South Africa.
Surprisingly, to me at least, Dutch TV has quite a lot of coverage of the the rugby world cup. And from what I've seen, it's a lot more entertaining to watch then american football.

Isn't the South African language a form of Dutch?

were you watching the right one? :p
I know you'll call it bitter because both Wales and Ireland are out, but it was hardly a classic, now, was it? :shock:

A man’s body was found in the harbour wearing a Welsh Rugby jumper, pink panties, fishnet stockings and a dildo up his arse. Police removed the jumper to avoid any embarrassment to his family :lmao:
Q. What’s the difference between the All Blacks and an arsonist?
A. An arsonist wouldn’t waste five matches.
Q. What’s the difference between a tea-bag and the Wallabies?
A. A Tea Bag stays in the cup longer

Afrikaans (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afrikaans) is indeed related to Dutch, through our "glorious" Golden Age (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Golden_Age) of world domination, slavery and all that.

It certainly wasn't the best game of rugby I've ever seen but it had it's moments and definitely a nail biter at the end :up:

Like what? Sitting around, eating bratwürst and drinking beer? Ehm, scratch that, that would actually be a proper sport.

Well, we certainly have nothing to hang our heads about, good game but the better team won, unfortunately this time it wasn't us, but much better than the last time we played them ;)
Well done South Africa :up:

England winning would have been a dream ending for a remarkable comeback in this tournement. They weren't even expected to get to the Quater Finals, let alone reach THE final, so hats off to the boys.
Where they fell down was the second half when I got the inpression a few of them were trying to go for personal glory when they had the Boks on the back foot, instead of passing for a team victory. Ah well, still a very good game.
Well done the Sprinboks.

yeah i'll agree with that.... but mostly it was those flipping line outs.... we just couldn't win one, big contrast to the last world cup but hey ho :shrug:

The try England had disallowed will be a talking point for many a sore England fan, it was just very unlucky for them. I'm still trying to figure out why England had a penalty against them in the 2nd half. Jonny Wilkinson should have really tried to do more drop goals. And I thought that Hipkiss blew three opportunities to pass the ball out to the right where there were platers, but chose to go for glory and promptly got tackled.

I agree about the try, but the game is now over, it wasn't given, and England just need to get on with it now. Of course, you will see the papers going on about it for the next few weeks. :D

It's been a couple of weeks since the All Blacks got dumped from the championship by the French, and we're still hearing how they were robbed by a forward pass...FFS :roll:
And to prove how jelly-in-the-head the All Blacks are, they're taking 'grief counselling' to cope with their loss to France Click ---> HERE (http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/4/story.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=10471160)

Well ok we got a bad decision on the try thing but we still would have lost so i think its a bit of a moot point really. Johnny just didnt seem to have the confidence with his kicks that he usually does...either way the team have to learn to function without him as i highly doubt he will make it to the next world cup.

Please define 'proper' sport for us then Rj ;)
Maybe it's more of a case that you should learn to appreciate a proper sport and get good at it :p

Is it not a proper sport because the likes of Namibia, Chile and Korea are higher than Germany in the World Rankings (http://www.irb.com/rankings/full.html)?

:lmao: now that's very funny.
seperate not: i wish our football team would show as much heart and determination as our rugby team :?
Grasping at straws perhaps but, if at the beginning of the world cup, England had been offered second place, hands would have been snatched off such were the chances of progression beyond the pool stages ... if at the beginning of his rookie season Lewis Hamilton would have been offered second place in the championship I'm sure he'd have jumped at the chance.

exactly!! to be totally fair, the only dissapointment sport wise was the dire performance our guys gave against Russia, as soon as that first goal was conceded, the heads started hanging and they seemed to just give up.
Lewis winning would've have been the perfect end for him but he has absolutely nothing to be hanging his head about, same goes for the rugby team they fought hard against all doubtors to show they deserved to be in that final, they have nothing to be ashamed of.
Both Lewis and the rugby team fought to the end still trying to win even when it seemed impossible, unfortunately i don't think we can say that about the footie team, who quite shamelessly seemed like they just couldnt be bothered once things started to go against them!
Just my opinion though as a fan of all 3 sports ;)
At least it gives the guys something constructive to do with said 'odd shaped balls'!
