I'm tired of all the Samoan - Tongan street fights we've had in NZ before last weekend's game. They should have played that game in Oz rather than Hamilton, NZ.
Why play it in Aus???

Yes, silly old Barnaby. For a bit of entertainment, NZ should have dicked him around and taken a few months to accept his renunciation of his NZ citizenship. That would have had Bishop going ballistic.

I see it as an Aussie tournament and principally as a New South Wales and Queensland sport. I understand that there are now heaps of Pacific Islanders in Oz.

There will be one very physical world cup game this weekend in Waikato, ENZED vs Tonga. Couple of teams with some large men. Tonga will be psyched to try and win this one. Supporters will be ready aswell, gloves will be off.
The Ireland and Wales clash should be another bright game with Ireland to prevail in my book.

Oh Buddha. Let's hope the supporters behave themselves. We've got some cars driving around with their team flags on in Auckland at the moment. I'm not sure which is Tongan and which Samoan. I also have to concentrate to work out which is Kiwi and which is Oz not that there should be many of the latter one on cars here.

Tonga extremely unlucky today in their semi final against an England side that had the rub of the green from the onfield officials in the first half. Let them skip out to a 20-0 lead which just proved to difficult for tonga to overcome.
The last play of the day should have been sent upstairs to at least prove a try or no try.
Big crowd in NZ. 30,000 plus. A sea of Tongan flags.
Poms will need to dig deep against the Roos in the final.

Didnt see that at all Barney. I thought England controlled things, with no real contentious decision. In the last 7 minutes adrenalin and emotion made the game tighter than it should have been. I think you're trying to wind us poms up!!

I still reckon you will walk the final though!

You may be right, through the bait out but only 1 nibble.
That young Pom forward Walmsley will be a big lad when he grows up.
Will be a hard tough game and the Aussies should be slight favorites, at least in the Aussie minds.
Good luck
