Shit. Maybe we'll get some luck for a change. Manage to beat France after they get a red card for ball grabbing. Then have Scotland in the QF after they upset Ireland or SA. Then Wales in the SF and then the remnants of who's left after the carnage on the other side of the draw in the final. We're surely due a bit of luck in one of these fůcking tournaments.
Used up in 2011. Now in the red again after 2019 opener.
Chin up though, the rugby gods are fickle, and they may be keen to punish your opponents.
Jeez, remind me again where we got lucky in 2011? Was it when Carter went down? Or when Cruden went down? My memory fails me!
Shit, we have so much luck karma coming back to us this year we probably won’t concede a try all tournament on our march to victory…
Only luck saved you from having Slade at FH in the 2011 final

Exactly!
What monstrous offence did we commit to allow that smug fluffybunny the satisfaction?
I met Woodward a few years ago at a work event, a work dinner then in a Corporate box.
He was a complete dick each time. Everybody else who met him, agreed.
It was very satisfying.

Day of the 07 final we’re smashing overpriced Kronenberg’s on the Champs Elise when a London double decker rolls up filled with the worst of middle england and Sir Bloody Clive on a microphone on the top deck.
My little boet runs out and calls out in his best Etonian: Sir Clive, Sir Clive?!
Cliveward leans out to have a chat with his adoring public and the little legend lands the unanswerable: Go fuck yourself.
Amongst the roaring laughter, the sad twat’s (probably piss weak) reply was lost.

Somehow it wasn’t even the best chirp of the day.
Caught
NoddyTimothy Horan carrying his missus’ shopping on St Germain. He was pretty sheepish but a good sport after we told him we were in the stands when his knee exploded and we’re pretty impressed he came back to rip us apart in 1999.As he’s grinning into my camera between my two starstruck mates, my half-cut old man stumbles by looking seriously unimpressed muttering:
“Hmmph Timmy Horan. Master of the Marginally Forward Pass.”

Please buy your lad a beer from me.

Noddy is Michael Lynagh. Tim Horan is Helmet due to his haircut.

in fairness, the final was tight as a drum, and refereeing could go either way. Some of the rugby world think Joubert swallowed his whistle and that benefitted us.
We left a lot of points out there that day; every RWC has a game like that to win, squeaky bum time with not a lot of points available
Yeah I think that’s what happened, in a tight game with a lot on the line there wasn’t a lot of risks taken .
France had a lot of ball late in the game and didn’t look like breaking the line, those supporting them wanted penalties, those not supporting them saw predictable attack and a good defence .

Those supporting them got kickable penalties, they just conveniently seem to forget this.

@Nepia didn't they miss four? Didn't Piri with his crook hammy or groin miss a few ? Also, Beaver came on and played a blinder. He made at least one line break that should have lead to points but his defence was spectacular.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy

I was talking about the French getting kickable penalties.

Essential skill for a 12: TMOs never check the short slip marginally forward. Happens a couple of times most games.
