International Rugby Matches

It was a good game, & I think the US guys deserve credit for coming back in the in 2nd half,they didn'texactly lie down and let England steamroller them. A great game to watch.

In the Autumn internationals today The All Blacks beat Wales in Cardiff 54-16 while over at Murrayfield Scotland won 60-14 against Tonga.

This weekend Ireland claimed a notable victory over the All Blacks in Dublin.

Meanwhile at Twickenham England saw off Australia and at Murrayfield South Africa were too strong for Scotland.

Ireland were brilliant yesterday!! Haven't always brought that level of intensity to the park. Just goes to show the standards the AB's make you reach for to compete with them. Superb match actually, with both sides going at it. The ruck was just an inconvenience to them (nice to see!) Luke Pearce had a good game too with the pea! Few lectures, was happy to clarify when asked, and even when some players maybe sought to make the same point over and over, he didn't get riled, and just repeated the response in an asked and answered kind of way! Sometimes he - along with Tempest and a few others, become too 'school mastery' and lose the players.

First series win NZ for Ireland winnig 32 - 22 well done Ireland
Questions now must be asked of NZ's coach

Ireland were superb once again! I agree though, big questions indeed will be asked of the AB's coaching team. Never seen them so disjointed and in fact, beaten at their own game - high intensity powerful rugby??

Congrats to Chile on their qualification for the World Cup!! Are there any more matches left or is line up complete?

There's two spots left with Tonga Vs Hong Kong
And then a group of matches involving USA Kenya Portugal and the loser of Tonga and Hong Kong

In the Women's Rugby Union World Cup the semi final line up is complete.

It's a New Zealand v England World Cup Final.

NZ beat France 25-24 while England fended off Canada 26-19.
