Half-timeShitter than shit

@MiketheSnow yeah England may well knock some big names out of the cup but recently they are so inconsistent.
Not that the ABs are better

England won 37-0 scoring 4 tries.
England will make the Semi finals at least in Japan, Italy won't get out of Group B.
Will fall at the QF stage

6N took down 20 odd videos from squidge rugby and filed copyright...!
I finally got round to watching a few of his videos this week, was going quite swimmingly and then got to the OZ video and he called Pocock the best player in the world. I've reported him to YouTube.

It's good - but like GAGR videos, sometimes says things with a lot of authority and arrows and things that may not be totally correct. Entertaining, though, and I do enjoy them

@nzzp Yeah, they're good, but he goes a bit overboard romanticising the PI teams and doesn't seem to be aware that many of their players don't grow up in the villages on the islands. He kept saying that the full Samoa is playing now which annoyed me for no good reason.
-
@Nepia that was a joke, when Wales lost to Western Samoa the first time, in the UK the big joke was 'thank God we were only playing half of Samoa, otherwise it would have been a slaughter' and he carries that joke on.
It was a huge shock in the UK, like Japan beating boks level shock

I know the joke, and I would have agreed with you after the first time, then he said it enough times more that made me think he didn't realise there were still 'two' Samoa's.

@Nepia Not my impression, does seem like some one who does a lot of research. But I could be wrong
Clearly this doesn't involve watching players other than Pocock.
Obviously I jest, I'll try watch all his country vids before the RWC starts.

Watching Randwick v Argentina at the moment on delay.
22 minutes in the visitors are up 14-0 after a scrappy start.
Argies win 74-zip.
Some good stuff from Randwick, including the assistance of Andrew Walker (at 45yo) and some young guys like Christian Poidevin (son of Poido) and Will Harrison who recently took the U20s to the final.
But it was professionals versus amateurs for the most part.
-
Randwick have peen a bit below their previous standards for a cople of years now in the Shute Shield. Did they have a few ring ins to bolster their team (assuming they also had some players taking part in the Aussie NRC) or did they go with their regulars?

And we're off.
Glorious afternoon in Dublin.
Ireland offside early
1/2penny misses 😞Ireland 0-0 Wales
3 mins gone
