some good, and some bad rugby played last night.

firstly, a complete and utter Bokka destruction of Samoa.
boks played well, samoans played poorly... end to a fairy tale for the islanders.

i have to admit while i was cheering on the boks, a tiny piece of me would´ve loved to have seen the islanders get through to the quarters.

(btw, Doos, i met the cutest africaan girl last night... damn fine lady!! please send more - i´m such a sucker for that accent)

and as for the Aussies, well, i have to say that i was hurting watching that second half.

we started off well, dominating the first 20minutes. but after that the wallabies just retreated into a defensive mind-set. no one in the backline really played well. roff had a shocker, as did latham, rogers and burke.

we only just held on.

if that was against the boks, the French, the Kiwis or the Poms, we´d have been absolutely thrashed.

but hey, we got through... next stop Scotland... and then it´s NZ...

**edit - oh, and Rod McQueen - the greatest rugby coach ever - has been warning everyone about the French... he says their discipline atm is more than enough to upset any of the major teams. after two losing RWC finals, could this be the year?? (i doubt it)
