Yup

Forwards determine who wins and loses.

Watching the lead-up on TV and commentators saying its 50/50 as to who's the best 9 in the world - Du Pont or JGP. Morons. We all know Cam Roigard's the best there's ever been - and that's after less than 10 caps.

Lowe out.....Fuuuuuck!
-
Has there been a longer dignitaries and anthems build-up in Rugby?
Just get on with the game, FFS.
Edit: 20 minutes so far and we can't start the game as some fuckwit is still singing

The country of fair play with a cynical YC.

McCarthy is a good prospect but that's a brain dead yellow card. Dumb AF.

Dumb as fuck

Love that French winger. A pure winger with lethal speed.

That was some cross-field kick...

Time for Jason stantham to step up here.

Really don’t see why Mike rates prendergast. Just seems to shovel ball on. I’m not seeing lions 10.

He still has a lot of experience to gain, but yeah, I agree based on today's showing so far. Hopefully Crowley will come on to calm things down early second half.

Might be head high here. From the fair play country.
