CMKiwi Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Samoa is currently taking it to Scotland. .....26 - 23 at half time. Surprisingly Samoa look to have the number over the Scots. Should be a good second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMKiwi Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Wales have a good chance to excel, and a great coach to get them there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMKiwi Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Scotland were very lucky. Next game will be interesting. But this one was a real good one. Well done to Samoa for not giving up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saan Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Well done goes to Stu, Great pub too. Game kicks off at 1045pm today. Are you sure the kick off is not 11.45? The Australian papers are showing it at 2.45 am, daylight saving time which should be 3 hours after us. 4.45pm uk, 10.45pm here. Correct from cmj. UK is 6 hours behind Thailand. A lot of the RWC games (Or at least the important ones) are either at 1045pm or 2am. Now its fast approaching quarter finals time....watch the knock outs begin. Aussie are on fire with their current form. The ABs are yet to completely fire. Wales and Ireland look ok. And I expect France and South Africa to be in the semi's too. Thanks to TV's rugger buggers I didn't miss the start of one of the, if not the, greatest defensive games I've seen. It reminded me of Leonidas and his Spartans at Thermopylae only with a happy ending. Thirteen Wallabies on the field and Wales even then couldn't breach the Aussies' line. Interesting times ahead.

CMKiwi Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Yes the Aussie defence was outstanding. At least 10 minutes of attack by the Welsh team and the Aussies kept them from the try line. I'm looking forward to the next round of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piewarmer Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Thirteen Wallabies on the field and Wales even then couldn't breach the Aussies' line. Interesting times ahead. I saw an Aussie panel show on youtube, comment about the 13 Aussies on the field was their "used to it" as Rugby league has 13 a side. Amusing comment.

Don't mention those two codes in the same sentence. League is just a bastardised game from the north of England and has little to do with the finest game played on earth and heaven.

mamborobert Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) Am sitting blissfully at home watching the Wales v South Africa game on ITV. Opening sentence of game was a classic backhander by the commentator. "and the referee Wayne Barnes, an Englishman who has made the quarter finals, starts the game" What is it with Welsh players who do not sing the National Anthem !!!!!!!!!

harness Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 On CTH tonight commentary in Thai only. Does True have English commentary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamborobert Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) Another enthralling tight yet still free flowing game (minimal involvement by ref) that went right to the wire. Great defence by Wales (thanks Gatland), some impressive break out runs by both sides, and the crowd willing Wales home for the last 10 minutes, but alas not to be after a Bok try in the dying moments, noise was through the roof. South Africa all to powerful in the end The World Cup is always fascinating for me..think about what got us here. Japan in a fairy tale over South Africa, Australia's great defence with two men down over Wales, the list goes on and on. There has been no stand out player throughout the comp so far just good team work, but then there has not been another Jonah Lomu on the scene. There will be a collective sigh of relief in the South African nation tonight Now to watch NZ to beat France, Ireland over Argentina, and Australia over Scotland and my weekend labour of love is complete.

Thailand Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 A little confusing if you were watching the start of Ireland v Argentina on Fox. The commentary was in Cantonese for a short time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiengmaijoe Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 A little confusing if you were watching the start of Ireland v Argentina on Fox. The commentary was in Cantonese for a short time! Yesterday's games and again tonight for the Ireland game, have no English soundtrack on Foxsports 2 via CTH. . I tried changing the audio channel but to no effect, even though the selected audio says English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamborobert Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I am now sold on the ITV player...no cost just using Hola on Firefox and then direct to TV all in Hi Def it seems ....commentary all in English and not prattling on....I wondered how many Thai people would watch this with the Thai language as posted earlier....I gather Cantonese may have been for the Hong Kong crew but even mainlanders are getting better with English (young ones anyway). They do like singing Fields of Athenry though Did not expect Argentina to start so well though...another good game so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMKiwi Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) NZ deserved their win. South Africa were a stronger team but only just squeeked home. Aussie should have breezed in but didn't. .....Scotland were unlucky to get a win. Argentina did the business and looked in control for most of the game. My prediction for either a NZ vs Aussie final OR NZ vs Argentina final. I can't see South Africa making it thru this time Edited October 18, 2015 by CMKiwi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piewarmer Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Aus v Scot was a real heart-stopper, mistakes, yellows and missed goals. Nearly as good as the MotoGP thriller midday. Entertainment was the name of the day on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
