Welp, here we go. Got to give up us credit for making them work for it though. If we get a try I will call this a success.
I'm more confident that we'll beat Russia now. get that win out of the way and throw everything we have against Italy.
My friend was telling me that Russia is the only match we should expect a win, but you never know we gained some respect tonight that's for sure who knows what might happen.
in rugby you'll hear teams say they are being realistic when talking about upcoming matches. so realistically Russia is the game we should win. but i've been setting my sights on Italy for a while. even a close loss would make me a little happy.
FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Between the Gophers shitting the bed and WRU holding possession for almost 2/3 of the game and losing, what a horrible day. 9/11 and your coach siezing on the sideline puts it all into perspective, but one of the worst sport days of my life. Both teams honestly should have won and they both gave it away. Now I have to be Somoa and Fiji just to stay alive. I hope we get out without a major injury.
The Wales-SA game was in my town last night. So many nice people out and about..Walked past the stadium while on a flyer run, sounded pretty loud. Also, fuck Ireland. Had to deal with 2 Irish all night at work.
i stayed up and watched the whole thing...i was very pissed. that drop goal towards the end...what the fuck was that? they didn't have advantage, just seemed like a stupid thing to do when you are that close and you have momentum.
watched the replay. lot's of big hits. it will be interesting to see if any pro contracts get thrown ours guys way. Ngwenya got his last world cup and I think Chris Wyles earned his there as well. i would like to have a U.S. flyhalf playing professionally somewhere instead of d1 here in America. even if it isn't the top pro league overseas.
pritchard clutch we need to be doing better in the mid though, tonga has exposed us there i like once we've gotten into tonga's end, we've really dictated the pace
we need to come out and get that momentum back in the second half having the wind was very important, gonna suck going into it
