Commiserations to Scotland in the Rugby World Cup... what a game, edge of the seat stuff, and they did themselves proud. A really cruel end.  Also Wales yesterday... considering their injury toll, did really well. Plus Ireland, a bit of a surprise at the score, but at least they got further than us. |

I think we deserved too beat SA but Scotland really really deserved to win today, they played absolutely brilliant! |

If only glorious failure was an Olympic event Raffles, just think of the medals Scotland would have. |

Those buggers in the Southern Hemisphere always seem to get the 'rub of the green'... but I still marvel at how, minutes after knocking 'seven bells' out of each other, and a heartbreaking result, they line up to shake hands in respect. Brilliant.

Brilliant. It speaks volumes about the type of men they are Raffles. The overpaid prima donna's of the round ball game could learn a great deal from these guys. |

Scotland were totally robbed with that penalty at the end, so proud of the commitment and spirit of the Welsh yesterday and Ireland were knackered for sure, but amazing rugby from Argentina, looking forward to their next match  |

We've certainly drowned more sorrows than celebrated victories @zuza.

I can't blame Mr joubert for his decision, we all make mistakes. What I despise the man for is sprinting off the pitch without shaking hands. He showed total contempt for the tradition and spirit of the game.
As for knocking the seven bells out of each other for 80 minutes and then shaking hands and enjoying a beer or ten a person much wiser than myself once said, "Football is a gentleman's game played by thugs, rugby is a thugs game played by gentlemen".
