the SEMIS

Okay I saw the fluke try by England, but it is still a try. and it was more like france's fault and england capitalising on france's errors. I read in the papers that some ST panel (comprising of the National team's captain, SRU people and coaches..) dude thinks dropgoals should be reduced to 1 point (because of few matches that has been decided by dropgoals. for example, stephen larkham's freak dropgoal (he cannot kick AT ALL, you should go watch the commercial. it's super funny) that knocked south africa out in 1999. jonny's dropgoal against australia in 2003's finals, and this year's semis against france, yes they were leading by 2 points, but the dropgoal sealed the victory) but personally i think dropgoals are damn amazing. and of course if you read the excerpt on the origins of rugby (previously a try was done so as to secure a chance to kick, ie if the article wasn't joking) rugby is also about kicking. and it's an oval ball. no matter how many times my mum say it looks easy, all of us we've had the courage to TRY to kick a ball, would know it isn't as easy as it looks. and the 35m dropkick during englandvsfrance was like wth? haha.. yeah so i still think kicking and jonny's golden boot (how england is winning) shouldn't be slammed.



i saw highlights of the argentina vs south africa match while having tuition at my aunt's house (we were having dinner, so it was okay! haha). whee. feel a bit sad for argentina. ARGENTINA MUST BEAT FRANCE AGAIN! =) haha. the finals and 3/4 playoff will be like a repeated match. hopefully it'll be a more interesting match to watch. are any of you guys watching?



of course we all want to watch beautiful rugby. of course we want teams who play beautiful rugby to win. but at the end of the day, reality is reflected by the scoreline. and kicking can be beautiful WHAT. haha. but I'm supporting the springboks. for most deserving. maybe habana will set a new record for the most tries scored in wc. he is now equalled with lomu at 8.



rugby world cup is coming to a close. feel sad. but in good time. can better focus on studying. haha. and i hope all these posts you guys don't find spam. LOL =$

LOVE!
study hard =)
