#RugbyChat – 13 October – New Zealand Sport Radio

This week the #RugbyChat on Twitter concentrated on the Rugby World Cup quarter finals. Here are some of the best bits.

Q1 Let’s celebrate the pool stage, what were your favourite moments, players, games, memories? #RugbyChat #RWC2015

There were plenty of good memories from the pool stages.

@DrivingMaul without a doubt Japan win v South Africa.

@DrivingMaul love the spirit of rugby.. Never fails to make you feel proud to be a part of it #RugbyChat

@DrivingMaul that kurtley beale,ben foley move Vs England was awesome

@DrivingMaul 1st Fijian Anthem, JPN beating SA, TMO being on screen constantly, England losing to Wales Jean De Villers retiring #RugbyChat

— Talia (@TaliaOnRadio) October 13, 2015

@DrivingMaul Fiji's scrum pushing Tier 1Nations, Japan victory over SA and watching England bow out #RugbyChat

@DrivingMaul as a Scotsman though having 14 tries from which to pick SCO best of the tournament so far is my personal highlight #RugbyChat

Q2 #NZLvFRA can history repeat its self? #NZL are dropping the ball but #FRA didn’t turn up last weekend #RugbyChat it’s Carter v Michalak

Most of us couldn’t see France getting the better of New Zealand. But then again could any of us on those other occasions?

@DrivingMaul I think #NZL will beat #FRA but we always say, you never know which French side will front up.. Could be like 2007? #RugbyChat

— Samantha Brown (@samrockz13) October 13, 2015

@DrivingMaul Cater & McCaw vs Michalak, Szarzewski & Dusautoir for 2007 personnel playing this week. #RugbyChat

Q3 #RSAvWAL the battle of the walking wounded #RSA look improved #WAL who’s available? could it come down to the better coach? #RugbyChat

There was some backing for Wales but clearly the Boks are favourites.

@DrivingMaul #RSA have all players available, except JDV. It'll be Meyer v Gatland in the end, I think #RugbyChat

— WozzaJA (@myrugbyblog) October 13, 2015

@drivingmaul Warren Gatland won the mind game with Stu Lancaster and He will do the same here, smooth operator #RugbyChat

— J (@spanishfijian) October 13, 2015

@DrivingMaul I can see that, and Meyer is a good coach but it's all about goal setting and maintaining momentum 1/2 #RugbyChat

— P McG (@mcgunpa) October 13, 2015

Q4 #IREvARG the pragmatists v the sparkling backs, but it’s opposite to the stereotypes and which philosophy will take it? #RugbyChat

There was a lot of discussion about who would take this one. Plenty of people think we could have an all Southern Hemisphere lineup in the semifinals.

@DrivingMaul IMHO Ireland look to be best 'team' fighting for each other in QFs. May just edge it, but I think this might be the best game

— rggrblggr (@ruggerblogger) October 13, 2015

@DrivingMaul Arg will take this Ireland will not recover the missing players impact #RugbyChat

— Michael Chronican (@mikechron) October 13, 2015

@DrivingMaul #ire momentum will carry us to our 1st semi final #arg have improved no end but we owe them one from the 99 WC #rugbychat

Q5 #AUSvSCO on #RWC2015 form the easiest QF to call, can #SCO be anything more than a speed bump? #RugbyChat

I don’t think anyone expects Scotland to upset the Wallabies.

@DrivingMaul #SCO would have to improve dramatically to cause an upset.. They looked ordinary against #SAM and #AUS are on fire! #RugbyChat

— Samantha Brown (@samrockz13) October 13, 2015

@DrivingMaul #AUS working well under Cheika and #WAL game gave them an extra mental edge. #AUS should see them off #RugbyChat

@DrivingMaul Exactly The Judiciary is Inconsistent Maybe That's Because Some on The Panel Never Played Rugby #RugbyChat

— Unknown (@asfysh) October 13, 2015

Q6 We have to talk about it, the inconsistent judiciary. How can Pocock not get cited when Tuilagi gets 2 weeks? #RugbyChat

There was plenty of anger at the process and also solutions.

@DrivingMaul Exactly The Judiciary is Inconsistent Maybe That's Because Some on The Panel Never Played Rugby #RugbyChat

— Unknown (@asfysh) October 13, 2015

@DrivingMaul Its not the same issue #RugbyChat
From what little I saw, that Pocock incident was a storm in a tea cup.

— Saj (@sajjos) October 13, 2015

@DrivingMaul and Sam Burgess got off scot free too.. Hard for supporters to understand how it all works #freeAlesana #RugbyChat

— Samantha Brown (@samrockz13) October 13, 2015

@DrivingMaul #rugbychat the variation of citing or non citing is actually taking form the comp tbh it's a joke #hiddenagendas

@DrivingMaul it's a joke

— Misa Joey Nanai (@joeynanai) October 13, 2015

@drivingmaul Have to say the same with Tom Wood and Scott Fardy very inconsistent

— J (@spanishfijian) October 13, 2015

@mickobrien1 @nick_elt @DrivingMaul Different people can review games. Film of all incidents with reports brought together for central dec

— FyldeFan (@FyldeFan) October 13, 2015

Along with plenty of jokes.

@DrivingMaul

— Derek Mathieson (@dingoderek) October 13, 2015

Q7 #ITMCup semifinals are the big boys #CAN and #AKL going to make it through or can #TAR and #TAS repeat last years final? #RugbyChat

The ITM cup has clearly taken a backseat this year.

@DrivingMaul #RugbyChat haven't followed the #ITMCup much this season but always back @AucklandRugby to do the job

— Misa Joey Nanai (@joeynanai) October 13, 2015
