New Zealand were very, very good this evening. France were a shambles though.

They went into the match against Ireland last week intent on trying to bully Ireland into submission. When that didn't work and Ireland comprehensively outplayed them they, allegedly, revolted against Saint Andre and decided to do their own thing.

Whatever the reason for their capitulation, whether they had used all their ammo last week and had nothing left, or whether they just fell apart under the onslaught of the ABs, they were abysmal.

New Zealand and Australia seem short odds to make the final now. New Zealand are too complete an outfit for a South African side that scraped past a Welsh team that was down to choosing third string players in its back line.

The decimated Irish will struggle to get past Argentina and will probably fall short. The Scots don't have enough depth to beat Australia and I think Australia will have too much for Argentina in the semis

Im hoping Ireland can win tomorrow, an all southern hemisphere semis seems pointless lol itll be like the rugby championship

France were destroyed. Can't believe the scoreline. NZ were superb.

Yeah, nz put more points on them than some 2nd tier countries 



Ughhh well that's us out. Argentina were by far the better side.

Did well to get close to them in the 2nd half. Wonder if that missed pen by Madigan would have changed things. But Argentina were just able to gain yards without trying :/ I think we'd have done better against NZ



All the tier 1 nations are capable of beating other tier 1 nations by 20 points or so. All except New zealand that are capable of beating other tier one nations by 50 points. I still can't believe that they beat france by 49 points, that is just insane. I don't think any team has a prayer of stopping them.

Hell of a match, thought Scotland had it and then heart break.



That really sucks for Scotland 😢

Woah, didn't expect an Argentina win, especially by that much! Congrats to them!

Now, can Australia finish the southern dominance?


I am hopeful for Australia, but we played pretty poorly against scotland, we are just too inconsistent. I think Aus are the only team that can beat NZ at this point but I don't hold much hope for it.  The only way for it to happen will be for NZ to have an aweful match while Aus team would have to play a perfect match at a 110%.



Why is the US so bad in Rugby? lol

Any team in the top 4 could beat the All Blacks but like you said they'd have to be having a blinder
