    Good morning .

    I woke up to this bad news for the Hosts New Zealand

    Dan Carter is out of the World Cup.

    All Blacks first five-eighth Carter has been ruled out of the rest of the tournament because of the groin injury he suffered at yesterday’s captains run and Colin Slade will now be expected to wear the No 10 jersey for the crucial play-off matches.

    Argentina’s hopes of sealing a place in the quarter-finals could be undone by their wayward kicking against a Georgia side keen to wrap up their courageous Pool B efforts with a surprise victory.

    Of the 20 teams competing at Rugby World Cup 2011, Argentina have a 33.3 per cent success rate with penalties, landing just six of their 18 attempts for the worst record in the tournament.

    Zane Kirchner’s dream of playing in Rugby World Cup 2011 has been revived after being called into the South Africa squad as an injury replacement for Frans Steyn.

    Head coach Peter de Villiers was forced to make the replacement after Steyn injured his left shoulder in the final few minutes of the Springboks’ 13-5 victory over Samoa in Auckland on Friday.

    @ superBul:
    May watch for a bit, but after this morning’s result there’s no real chance for Scotland as I can’t see Georgia winning let alone deny Argentina a losing bonus point Tears

  • 13

    Who lost the most SA with Frans Steyn or NZ with Dan Carter , so sad i would have loved both to be stil in RWC

  • 14

    11’

    Georgia concede a penalty for player leaving feet at ruck

  • 15

    12’

    Georgia concede a penalty for being offside at ruck

  • 16

    MISSED AGAIN

  • 17

    Unbelievable miss from right in front!

  • 18

    Felipe Contepomi did not only lose his kicking boots he lost all confidence. Whoefull kicking

  • 19

    13@ superBul:
    Frans Steyn is a big loss but I think Carter is even bigger loss for NZ, who knows maybe Weepu will become a surprise flyhalf package for them and they still have all the rest of their dangerous backline players.

    Argentina started at 6/18 succesfull kicks in the RWC, now it is 6/20

  • 21

    Very lucky escape there for Argentina if Georgian had only stayed on his feet surely ref would have penalised Argentine for not releasing.

  • 22

    Georgia concedes far too many penalties 6 vs 1 so far

  • 23

    After 20 minute NO Score, well only because we have a Argentinian kicking meltdown.

  • 24

    Sorry ou pal have to desert you for know, hope the rest of the game is good viewing for you.

    sad when you lose any player even more so when that player is in the form of his life. That no 12 jersey in SA is haunted.

  • 26

    No other match at Rugby World Cup 2011 has waited longer for its first points than this one. The previous record holder was Argentina v Scotland in which the first points were scored in the 19th minute

    @ Bullscot:
    Go well see you again

    funny in both games Argentina was involved, they have a poor RWC compared to the previous one.
