Fully deserved victory for Samoa.... despite the odd short arm tackle! Wales yet again a bloody embarrassment - Halfpenny, North, Cuthbert but a few being exceptions. WTF is Howley doing? Wales had zero idea in attack......... Howley - played 5, lost 5...... tw@t.

The Lillywhites getting mullered at the hands of the convicts is all that is going to cheer me up this weekend!!

No need for that kind of talk is there? . . . . . .

Well, coming up for Round 3 of the AI's, and some decent looking games.....

Lillywhites vs The Bokke: A couple of silly decisions cost England dearly in R2, but they looked pretty good IMHO. Can't understand the call to drop Waldrom - thought he had a very solid game against the Crims. Still a way to go before taking SH scalps again..... SA by 9.

Paddies vs Argies: Could be a cracking game - I'm betting on a close, bruising match, with the Paddies to take it in the last quarter. Ireland by 11.

Surrender Monkeys vs Samoa: Another bruiser, but French flair will give them a fairly comfortable win...... France by 18.

God's Own vs The Blackness: Rumour has it that Wales will be playing in white in anticipation of the f***ing cricket score that NZ are going inflict on us.... The blackness have scored 93 points in their first 2 games, running in 11 tries in the process - with literally a 2nd team. Wales on the other hand have suffered defeats to both Samoa and Argentina in the first 2 rounds. To the terror of all Welsh fans, NZ's Big Guns return to the starting line-up for Saturday's game - it could be a very long afternoon.......... Wales by 3!! Well, I can't bet against them can I ??

Sweaties vs Tonga: Scotland played with alot of passion against The Blackness, running in 3 tries, and put in a great display against the Bokke. Will be too much for Tonga - Scotland by 19.

Pasta Munchers vs Crims: Great display by Italy against the Blackness in R2, keeping in touch upto the 75th minute...... unfortunately the floodgates then opened.. .
Australia suffering with injuries, but will prove too strong - Crims by 18.

Get your picks in, and best of luck to all!

Hi Pharvey, at least Wales lost to the whole of Samoa, unlike a few years ago when they were beaten by just Western Samoa.

Interesting, Irelands win against Argentina got them out of this predicament.

Wales must avoid defeat against Australia on Saturday to stay in the top eight of the International Rugby Board's world rankings.

If Wales lose they will fall to ninth place below Argentina and Samoa, and face a much tougher draw for the 2015 World Cup.

That would see the Grand Slam champions ranked alongside Italy, Tonga and Scotland in tier three of the seedings.

The draw for the World Cup is being made on Monday, 3 December.

That's a bit spooky Pete, Tonga being an anagram of Tango

Unbelievable England performance against the mighty All Blacks today. Truly awesome. So glad I didn't miss it. This is a game that will stick in the memory like the BaaBaas game in the 70s. Well done, lads.

Don't believe it, all I can assume is that the all blacks had a dodgy curry last night!

[Arcadian]

Glad I tuned in even though I was expecting a tonking. The All Blacks were 12-1 on, did anyone have a bet on England? Whatever Lancaster said to them this week worked a treat, great game if you were English.

I only clicked on here by accident and see I'm getting grief.

2005 sticks in my memory.

Wales lose in the dying seconds, Beelzibub's XV beat the Blackness, I'm working today......... The weekend from hell!!

In all seriousness, didn't see the England game, but huge hand to them for bringing NZ's unbeaten run of 19(?) games to an end. Congrats to all involved.....

If you wanted evidence we are in a Matrix-like world, that result was it. How could England, who were clueless against Australia put up a performance like that? The game was an obvious Orwellian propaganda video. You can see where the shirts were photoshopped.

The real result, where England were thrashed 48-9, can be downloaded from aliensatemyhamster.com
