^ would've been the % option but it's 7's & he's Argentinian so, y'know...

Edit: Fiji v Samoa out-epicing SA v Arg right now...

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Fiji 22-12 Samoa.

Back to back awesome games with such different styles. For me I prefer the open free flowing risk taking of the Fiji/Samoa game a style you would never see aus play.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

USA 28-12 Uruguay

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

France 26-21 Kenya so Samoa knocked out of the Cup.

QF1 SA v France
QF2 Fiji v Argentina

& Samoa are out! its almost a curse winning it, thats now 2 out of 2 times the winner have not qualified for the final 8 in the next series, I mean chances are you will end up in the pool of death for the next series event. They will also fall out of the top 4.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

USA women 10-0 Ireland at HT.

Winner goes into Aus side of draw, loser into NZ's. USA coach non-committal as to which he prefers lol.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

USA 15-7 Ireland

Back of an old letter from the bank* projected women's QF:

1. Aus v Canada (best 3rd on PD)
2. USA v Fijiana
3. France v Ireland
4. NZ v GB (2nd-best 3rd)

* therefore far more accurate than the back of the envelope it came in and/ or any napkin known to mankind.

Unless we beat le hens by 31 we will finish 3rd & they will finish 6th so we prob will play them

Holy shit! Japan 17-7 Canada. Will change the makeup of QF's 1 & 4.

Draw doesn't work that way (though with 12 teams it probably should so you get fewer re-matches from Pool play).

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Oh dear, seven on five for 1:30-odd. Aus should cut loose big time here.

[waiopehu oldboy]

Seven on six for the remainder. Clear Red.

Edit: France lucky Aus scored there or they could've worn another Yellow.

Aussie women are so good at catch and pass. It may sound simple and should be ingrained into rugby players but watch aussie 15’s men rugby and we are shite. Great to watch.

I thought we were a shoe in when Ashby crossed with 2 to go! ah well 3 big games for the girls tomoz!

 

[Rugby follower]

Very ordinary crowd in Hamilton, maybe forgive this as completely out of season for rugby. Will be interesting to see what crowds they have in Sydney next weekend.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^ Women's RWC hype seems to have faded rather quickly. Was certainly expecting better.

Edit: hopefully the non-arrival of the predicted crap weather might encourage a better turnout tomorrow.
