Given Australia's showing tonight, I think Eddie Jones might be better off going back to set up a Sushi restaurant in Japan. ;)))

When the supporters start leaving before full-time, it's not going so great...

Apparently the Wallabies have a phone number that you can call to complain/commiserate about their performance. It's +61 101010 (Won nothing, won nothing, won nothing.)

The Kiwis play Italy today. I expect the New Zealanders to come on strong and emerge with a bonus point. They are still the dark horse in the competition and could very well ultimately emerge victorious.

Potential All Blacks v Ireland quarter final, if everything goes as expected!

This is shaping up to be a massacre... not such fun to follow after a while.

Was one side really good/clever, or the other side really awful/inexperienced?

As long as the winners don't get cocky.

These awful mismatches have really undermined the early stages of the world cup methinks. Italy have gone backwards and can the All Blacks really have learned anything from last night's one-sided victory? It is time that world rugby looked at being more inclusive of resources for the minnows, and ensured more international exposure for these aspirant teams, although Italy have no excuse having been part of the Six Nations setup for some time now. I stopped watching when the score drifted north of 50 points.

Georgia came heartbreakingly close to winning that match.

My money is on the Scottish South African team. ;)))

Actually Steyn is the only Saffer in today's lineup. Large number of the core being rested for the Irish clash.
