They expected Agincourt.
It was Formigny.

In Rugby
France 19-England 12.

NZ beat Argentina 33-10, two tries to one.

I happened to start watching the game just before the Argentinan Puma's scored the first try. At that point they were winning and I thought we had an upset on our hands. The All Blacks won, but 21 points was from penalties.

The Argentinan's had a brilliant long range penalty kicker too.

Somehow despite failing on every major stat line for territory and possession the Australian Wallabies beat the South Africans.

Unfortunate but not all that unsurprising, given the quality of England's game. Ireland getting the boot on that same day, mind. That was a shocker.

New Zealand vs Wales in the final I'll warrant

You think? I saw that as a 50/50 match myself, maybe Wales as tiny favourites.

Oh god, it's worse then that, rugby's like a religion here in NZ. You would get lynched here if you say you don't like rugby or the All Blacks, which is actually nearly happened to me.
