    Yeah, they don't have the rights in the US. Thanks though. I *think* I might have found something in Spanish... we'll see in 15 minutes.

    Scotland 6-3 Argentina at HT.

    Humdinger in the making, this one. Two very evenly matched sides, very tough...

    Great game of rugby that one. Scotland 12-6 up, less than 10 left on the clock, then a moment of brilliance for the Argentina try & a pressure conversion. Even then, Scotland had a real chance to get back up the park to win, * the field goal attempt wide.

    Scotland now have to beat England in the final group match next Saturday to make it to the Quarter Finals.

    Game was ours if Wayne Barnes had noticed how obviously offside Contepomi was at the DG. Furious.

    EDIT: Having watched it a few times again, it's debatable as to whether he was actually offside. Marginallly maybe.

    2nd EDIT: Contepomi admits he was offside. Cheating pr*ck haha...

    Expected win for Ireland last night against Russia the weakest team in our group. But pleased with the performance and how we went about it 62-12 is quite the scoreline. That puts us in the Quarter-Finals and now it comes down next weekend to the game against Italy. If we can win that we top the group and most likely avoid South Africa in the Quarter-Finals.

    I don't really think the Argentina try was a 'moment of brilliance', he should have been put on his * way before the try line.

    I know the Scottish guys had put a lot in to the match and were tired, but the tackling was so powder puff for that try it was unbelievable, against one of the top sides he would have been flattened 20 yards out.

    Plus there was no need to panic and go for the drop-goal so quickly when it clearly wasn't properly set, why not just recycle the ball, run the clock down and make sure?

    Expect the English to beat us comfortably and to be honest, the 2 teams that deserve it most will go through.

    Let's face it, whoever finishes second is gonna get humiliated by the all blacks anyway.

    Johnny wilkinson is a * *, that stance when he takes is the penalties is pointless, posing *

    But I think Scotland don't have a chance now:54: played well though!
