I agree, brill`.
And there were "no" rolling around theatricals like you get from the posing overpaid, overated, sh1te footballers.

You union lot wouldn't know good rugby if it came and bit your backside.
If all the superleague playoff games are anything to go by then the Grand Final on saturday will be a classic.
80 minutes of action. Pure skill, speed and the most ferocious tackling you have ever seen. Makes Wilko look like what he is. A big girl.
Do yourselves a favour and watch it

What a great weekend for all the nuetrals to watch with 2 big shock victories for the underdogs on Sat & both favourites being run so close on Sunday by the underdogs again.
Cant wait for the Semi's this weekend.
My final will be France V South Africa but I would really love to see the Pumas stick it up the Boks.

All went a bit flat on Sunday night when the Scots folded (again) but other than that, great stuff. What a pity Lewis Hamilton couldn't finish the job in Shanghai.
Still, more to come (unless of course you are an Aussie or a Kiwi).

Yes close fought matches and if Nicky Little had been playing Fiji might have beaten South Africa.Their centres Rabeni and Bai are awesome.Scotland did well but Argentina were just to strong.France with home advantage must be favourites to win the tournament and were my original choice but with France you never know which team is going to turn up

Yes the Castleford v Widnes and Featherstone V Oldham Finals were by far the best rugby on tele. They were almost as good as the earlier Leeds v Wigan semi final.
Cant wait for the Leeds v St Helens Super League final. It promises to be an exciting action packed cracker of a game.

I agree. I'm not a huge rugby fan but the weekend's games - particularly the England & France games on Saturday, were were great viewing. The semis should be great, too.

I don't think I've seen a better match than Oz-England. Those lads left nothing at home - the toughtest contest I have ever seen, bar none. Bad luck, Scotland. What was NZ thinking??? The Fijians were a handful for the Rebocks.
i can't wait for the weekend. Go England!

I still have a hangover. I cant remember when last we had such games. Talk about upsets of note. I hope that the semi finals is just as great but not sure if I can handle much more stress.

That's right but I thought Wales v Fiji was the best game of rugby or possibly South Africa v England.
