England vs Australia 19th of Oct, 8.15am GMT

[cashead]

England have certainly gone through the motions, never looking at all troubled during the pool stages. Australia on the other hand, have made hard work out of every fixture they've had (except for the loss against Wales, where the Welsh seemed to have a hard time keeping their foot on the Wallabies' collective, figurative throat after it seemed like they'd run away with the game initially).

The Wallabies are capable of winning this, but that's only when everything goes their way (case in point Perth, where Scott Barrett got sent off, and Garces spent the rest of the game letting them get away with murder at the rucks, and giving them sweetheart calls here and there like awarding them 30m of territory to score off of when they knocked on), but in all honesty, this is quite possibly the worst Wallabies team since the game went pro. They might get lucky again, since that worthless cunt is reffing the game, but I think England will just be too much for them.

England win but we look clunky and disjointed.

Typically Kiwi. Comes onto the EMB pretending to talk about the England match but, instead, endlessly bangs on about how a ref robbed the All Blacks.

I have no dog in this fight.
You - cashead - have an odd axe to grind.

And he hasn't even mentioned Wayne Barnes.

It's way too early for this shit it isn't even light yet.

I've really struggled to get into this world cup for that reason.

Same. It just doesn't feel like a world cup to me.

There have been some great matches too, it just hasn't had that buzz in between games for me.

[Beasties]

Cheika looks like he's just got dressed after gym and is going to Eng Lit next.

[Scrumhead]

Come on lads! Time to step up!

This, and I have no will to drink at 8am, which sucks now that we're in the knockouts as there's nothing to kill the nerves!

[Beasties]

Aus look like they mean business. Pataia looks lively. We're gonna be tested at last.

[Beasties]

Watson's looking on top top form. Good try Eng.

[Beasties]

Everyone's slagging this Aus team off but they've looked bang up for this so far.

[Beasties]

Nice Henry.

[Mikey Brown]

Two match threads going on now?

Puja, I will expect your resignation in the morning.

[Stom]

He did almost screw up try 1, but those were 2 nice touch line conversions from the “very cold water man”

If someone could put the titanic theme tune to the footage in this twatter post I’d be eternally grateful.

Are you joking that it's been done a lot, or actually serious?

I’m serious. If it has already been done if missed it.
Had a drunken joke about it with friends on Saturday but I don’t have the IT IQ to even know where to start making my dream become a reality.

[Mellsblue]

Merci.

[Digby]

I used to like that try, bastards!

Remember when kyle was was a bit of a liability. Now he is one of the first names on the team sheet. Great management. Watch him physically destroy a much larger man with his strength in the scrum.

They tried to wind him up after he lost the first one:

The was a lovely interview in the times about him battling his temper. How it stems from his upbringing - predominantly no father figure - and how he’s conscious that he needs to sort it for his teammates and to be a good role model for those who are growing up in the same situation as he did.
