The quarter final round of this world cup can be summed up in one word “complacency”

Australia, New Zealand and the Bokke all went into their quarter finals expecting a cake walk. The difference between the Bokke and those antipodean wankers was the fact that we actually got a big enough fright to straighten the game out before it was too late. I must admit there were some shocking Refereeing in all the quarter final matches.

England will be annihilated by the French; the French seems to be the only top side who is taking this campaign serious at the moment. We should very much guard against further complacency against the Pumas.

If England does miraculously get past the French, they will get another Rugby lesson. We have their number and that would be an anti-climax to an exciting competition.

A French South Africa final will be a thriller and I’m not so sure that the Bokke will have an easy time of it. We will have to play for that “koppie”

Fact 2 – Three top teams in international rankings partake in the Tri-Nations. Take the daily average ranking for the past five years and you will confirm this fact.

Fact 3 – If by your own argument, Argentina created such an upset against the French, on foreign soil, then why is it so preposterous to expect them to beat Scotland? Jake did not discount the Scots against the “brilliant boks” he merely suggested what has since become fact, the Scots will not beat Argentina.

Fact 4 – Thanks to the referee on Saturdays upset win over NZ, and correctly commented by Os Du Randt, the team that could rightly have caused SA some consternation are on the way home. That is like first prize!

Fact 5 – The hot air you talk of is not based on fact but is spun by yourself as a ploy to detract from the really shameful thing, you are a coward who kicks his dog, and you are English. SHAME ON YOU!
