The World Cup just keeps getting better as the games roll by. Really annoyed I missed the Argentina game as they are a team I like to watch to see how they will fit into what was called the "TriNations".
South Africa were pretty clinical against Fiji and I think many who predicted an upset were far from the mark. The big hard running Fijians we must remember were running up against just as big and as hard running Africans!
As for the Aussie v Ireland game. What a cracker! But once again those who called this an upset must remember that Ireland is a tier one nation. If the excitement is to live on in our game then these sort of results must continue. Passion is a wonderful thing and when the AB's went down to the Aussies recently you could say they "out passioned" us. Last night it was the turn of the Irish. Must admit I felt for James Slipper who came on the face a great Irish pack with Cian Healy particularly impressive.
Lets not forget this is the premier Rugby tournament in the world and every teams wants to put their best on the paddock. Every game should be a battle and I am sure that is how every rugby supporter in the world would want it.
Pretty eager to see the Samoa v Wales game today. I was very impressed with Wales in their first match and much like Ireland their passion was wonderful.
