Australia 32 - 6 Italy
Very entertaining match. First half was a comedy of errors from both sides, with each only putting up two penalties. Went into half at 6-6. After half, the Aussies took complete control.
Moments of the match:
Italy has possession and is tackled at the 5-meter mark near the try zone. Two Aussies counter-ruck four Italians and take over. Aussies clear.
Italy has a 5-meter scrum. Italians power the scrum into the try zone, with the ball inches away. An Australian pounces. Ball changes possession, Aussies ruck over and clear.

Holy shite. That first Scrum was brutal. Ireland put us in skates, and it was their ball. Hate to see when its our put in.

THe game already happened so I don't want to post and spoil for the people watching the tape delay.
spoiler alert - final score and stats

I wont look at the final score, but so far the USA is playing some inspirational rugby. Its 10 - 3 Ireland in the 55th minute.
ETA: Awful kick, Ireland in good attacking position.
ETA 2: 15-3 Ireland

22- 10 final. No shame in the USA's performance. They played some solid D but at the end Ireland was to much. The US should be able to build solidly on this heading into Russia.

Just finished watching the first half of the USA Ireland game. Honestly, it looks like the USA is playing very well. We just sadly lack size. However, our speed is keeping us in. Well, that and Ireland's penlites.

Ireland's unforced errors are what kept this game close. Still, the Eagles played good defense.

Just watched a recording. You can't lose that many line-outs. You just can't. Bad kicking also let us down. Spirited performance though, especially from the D.
I see us beating Russia.

I hope to God we beat Russia. That would just be embarrassing. Plus we need a 3rd RWC win from someone other than Japan. That's if I recall the facts correctly.
What's/When is the next big game?

We play Russia on Sept. 15. I haven't looked up when NBC is showing the replay.

Samoan raping of Namibia in progress. 25-0 with time left in the first half.

Alex Tuilagi going off. Some pretty, pretty, pretty good genes in that family.
