Well, that was surely the greatest upset in the history of international rugby. Go Japan!

Terrible result and very well done to Japan but I'd be chuffed if we finished 2nd in the group

Argentina beating New Zealand at half time! Although I think New Zealand will switch gears in the second half.

Good to see McCaw sin binned. That guy gets away with too much stuff, and Barnes seems to be the only ref who actually abides by the rules with the All Blacks.

Agree about Mc Caw. However I believe that the Argies will win in a very tight game.

Some really good rugby today, but service seems to have resumed after the upsets of yesterday...

Yes McCaw deserved it but the All Blacks seem to have most refs under their spell and usually get away with murder

Agreed. F New Zealand.

The only time I support teams like France is when they are playing the All Blacks!

Been doing it for years.

If someone can knee cap Aaron Smith at some point then the All Blacks will be conquered.

I don't care who wins just as long as I get to see Slammin Sam Burgess in action.

I'm yet to be convinced that he will make a great union player - he's been okay so far but nothing flash

Time will tell but he has the basic building blocks in place
