So...based on the semi-finalists, who will carry Bill back home?

Just as long as it doesn't swing low in a bittersweet chariot...

Who will carry Bill home?

Poll closes midnight, Saturday 13/10 to be replaced by new poll once Semi Finals are done with.

If you wish to...you may leave a comment as to why your choice will win...don't expect me to agree nor answer.

frankly my dear...I don't give a damn!

Well...kind of...I WAS SEETHING...FURIOUS...

anyhoo...I do not care who wins as long as it isn't that bunch of Neanderthal oafs, those genetic sputum and semen dregs monsters, those that change the game's name from Rugby to THUGBY as soon as they put boot on field....the veortrekkers (purposely misspelt!)...soof africa...BASTARDS!!

they are much more sly than they used to be, putting in the verbal boot when it best suits them to get a response, and actually getting away with so many assaults...elbow to the head, neck, throat, head butting, charging with menace and sandwiching, eye scraping....they got away with it all....

KILL THEM!!!!!!!!! IF THEY WIN THE CUP I HOPE SOMEONE SMASHES THEIR FAT HEADS IN WITH IT....

whew...it calmer now.....isn't it lucky I am not an AVID supporter of the game eh!??

to be honest - I'm with Mountain Fog... I suspect we are not the only ones who don't care. Unlike the Soccer World Cup where you maintain interest long after your team is knocked out - I really don't care. well, thats not true... As long as its not England!!!

And if you go with Fog Mountain, that only leaves France and Argentina... Neither of which I care for...

hmm, its depressing...

Hiya fog hon...

Please don't hold back in telling us how you really feel.

...but yes...they do play outside the boundaries of 'normal' viciousness.
I thought the French and their squirrel (nut grabbing...) ways were bad.

I want Argentina to do the seemingly impossible.
Go The Pumas!

Hope you're well hon. Now...

Rugby World Cup 2007

Hiya Andy...

I don't care either. I just want to know how many sportsfans don't want England to win!!

As I said...I want Argentina to win...mainly because i don't want the others to win!

...but I do like the passion los pumas play with.

I'm with you - go the Puma's - as unlikely as this may be.

Somewhere in the recesses of my mind I think England played their final on the weekend.

Love the poll.

Hey Ash ... you feel terrified, imagine how I feel!!!

I'm English.

I don't suppose I'll get away with saying Go Skaifey instead, will I?

~laughing~ like to join me as I bolt out the door Andrea?

Just a bit of useless info for you - a skaifey in African slang is a segment from an orange

GO SKAIFEY! GO THE BOKS! GO ENGLAND!

RUN ASH!

Sincere condolences to all you Aussies. I know just how you feel. I'm surrounded by grieving Kiwis here. Oh woe is us! None of us want South Africa or England to win. We'd like the Pumas to triumph but really the odds and the French machine are against them.

It'd be awesome for Argentina to win and shake up the reign of terror, but I'm hoping that France pulls it off.

Dusk,

I have to say France, because the very fact that Steve Larkham is joining them has boosted the moral sky high and they will ride it to victory... if not this year, then certainly the next one...

Thus spoke Zara-Lilla *chuckle*

Fun Facts

OK, now that Aus and NZ are out and England and France are in it still, then obviously the world have gone topsy-turvy.

I don't have any interest in it other than I don't want England to win, otherwise being an Aussie in England is going to be more unbearable than it is now.
I don't want France to win, I don't know how on earth they managed to pull one over on everyone, but I don't like it. At least that's something the Poms and I have in common.

So I guess in looking at the lesser of 2 evils, I can only hope Argentina wins.
