The Borders. Those were the try scorers (also Parks scored, but he was born and raised, schooled in Australia) for Scotland from their match against Portugal.

If the referee's have the technology available then they should always use it.

If England make it past the Pool A games its likely to be as runner-up and facing Australia in the Quarterfinals..

The Welsh seem to have found their hurdle

Australia 18 - Wales 3

Time to lie back on that ' all black' then?

Bog Snorkelling Celebrations Cancelled!!!!

I'll grant you that but given their posturing during the week about how they were going to exploit the aussie scrum they fell flat on their faces

I'm a fairly unbiased Aussie at the best of times and can say i loved the welsh game against england in OZ last world cup where they lost gallantly 57-35 or there abouts but the current crop doesn't have the same cohesion

England will have to beat Samoa to get to the quarter-finals. They were awful against the Boks - didn't look like scoring a point.

Wales started poorly but played better in the second half to lose 32-20.

Portugal lost 106-13 to New Zealand, but they were committed the entire game and never gave up.

No surprises,England are a shadow of the world cup winning team

Wales are also off the boil even on their own home patch

I'm watching New Zealand v Portugal at the minute and its 52-3(half time)
and the commentators are describing NZ as lack lustre

Portugal after the first 20 minutes were what you'd expect,easy meat

I'll say it again...its a joke

These sides shouldn't be here

The rugby world sevens understand this and have 3 different sections
so the mismatches are kept in check

The next World Cup finals are being reduced from the current 20 teams down to 16 teams.
