Rugby World Cup general discussion

I can't keep up, and won't. Haven’t scheduled time to watch sa v Scotland, only seen bits of Wal v Fij ... and trying to catch the replay.
But the story dies when there's no rugby.
And you don't have to watch them all, or watch them all live. Just enjoy the story.
In 2007 I recall following matches on TSF that were on while I was at work. (Don't tell work ... )
Ireland v Georgia for example.
SA v Tonga another.
It was exciting, but don't think I ever saw the replays..
They need to fill in the gaps.

@MN5 Interesting. Australia with more players (4) in that list than SA (1).
NZ's sole representative is a back up at the moment, though I'm sure his time will come in the next 4 years.
I wonder how many of the players listed currently play or recently played in the French Top 14?
Na they have two.
I woulda thought Etzebeth was heavier than RG Snyman but then again these stats are very inaccurate. Not like fighting sports where they weigh in a day or two prior to the event.
@NTA sure has some tubby lads in his team.

given how busy my weekends are, I'd love a Wednesday or Thursday morning game I could watch at 5am - obviously not the marquee games, but would be awesome to get up and onto the bike trainer to watch a second tier match like the AB's v Namibia, or Wales v Fiji (teasing Mike, teasing!)

Stats eh?!!
That Fijian bloke hit 39 of their own rucks in 1 game, that's pretty good heat...

I don't expect an ex prop to worry about that!

As always, excellent analysis
Make no mistakes, defence will win the Rugby World Cup
Despite global trends favouring possession rugby, defence came out well in credit at the end of the first round of matches at the Rugby World Cup.

Possible Unpopular Opinion
The tournament suffers as a spectacle by only having games on the weekend.
Agree. One of us or France should be playing again tonight, or possibly yesterday.
Squads of 33, use them.

@MajorRage France v Uruguay is Thursday night Paris time, Friday morning NZ time.

@Stargazer said in Rugby World Cup general discussion:
I need evenings during the week to catch up with the games I couldn't watch live during the weekend. If you add games during the week, I simply don't have the time to watch the majority of them.
Add games? They would be shifted, not added.
That is some of the weirdest logic I've read on here for a while. You're glad there are no midweek games because you get time midweek to watch games you didnt have time to watch on weekends.
-
The next two weeks do have Wednesday and Thursday night games Paris time then NZ plays Thursday night (Friday Morning NZ time) the week after that v Uruguay.

It’s very stop start alrite. There is a two week break in there somewhere too right?
We need games every two days so Sexton ends up in the knackers yard.
