    Does anybody know a venue where we can see the live games &/or who wants to get together and watch the semi's this weekend?

    Pardon my French

    France got lucky and held on to beat Wales 9-8, albeit with a pitiful unimpressive performance. Best two teams, All Blacks and Wallabies play tomorrow, too bad they couldn't meet in the finals. Cignal broadcasts the games, not sure about other providers.
    Go Wallabies!

    Never a sending off, the ref ruined that game. Wales most likely would have got through to the final but for that red card. :mad:

    Favorites All Blacks to win the cup.

    You can watch it anywhere where they have ESPN/Sky.

    Wales v France. The Ref screwed that game with the sending off. Never a red card offence. It was a hoist not a high tackle. At the most it warranted a finger-wagging and no more. France were lucky, Wales got robbed.

    Agree with you Jim, my money is on the Kiwi's to take the trophy.

    Paint it Black (Stones)

    All Blacks kick butt on Wallabies. I don't know all the rules or strategy of Rugby, but is sure looked like total domination to me. Still, enjoyed watching the match and couldn't help comparing to NFL football. Tough guys out there.

    I've been an All Blacks fan for many years. Maybe it's from growing up in Hawaii, but I like their style and determination. Never warmed to the Wallabies....about the only Aussie team I can't get enthused about. Love rugby and watch quite a few games here in Perth...even our lame Western Force. I hope France doesn't make it too easy for the All Blacks - otherwise I may have to mow the lawn. I expected this would be a an SA and NZ final - France is a surprise...

    Think you will be mowing the lawn, France had an easy run in, England in the quarter then Wales minus a player in the semi.
    Having said that France has a strong defense, they will need it.

    Brutal match, 8-7 All Blacks. Garbonzo got his wish, France didn't make it too easy. Au contraire. I didn't realize it was so hard to score in Rugby, guess that is why both teams played field position.
