Always wondered what the exactly was the criteria was for the record.

Cyprus once won 24 in a row but against much weaker teams.

 

Not sure but I know Cyprus were not IRB (now World Rugby) members which is why they can't take part in the World Cup qualification process. Maybe that's the reason?

I don't like either of the teams in 40-29 but fair play to Ireland

In case we end up dropping from the top 8, I'd love a WC group with Ireland and France...

Unbeliveble! Unbeliveble! The full Artemio Franchi is completly on fire!

58-15 YES! England indomitable and formidable in attack. Hard to tell if we just lost concentration in defence or these are actual issues. As for Fiji, they made way too many simple errors, including a ridiculous pass for the 7th (?) try.

33-30 Japan! Wow! Unfortunately Wales brought it back but still, great effort from the lads. I was watching it 'in the background' but from what I saw Wales were making too many mistakes and Japan's kickers weren't too good.

18-20 Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika. They bloody need it.

We lost really stupid match vs  (we give penalty in the last minute, hits the post, we don't get the rebound, we give penalty again  ). Now we are 100% sure 9th place in ranking for the draw (no chance vs  next week).

 

 

Possible pool with  and  sends a chill down my spine.
