why do I think this could get scrappy?!
I doubt I'll even watch this game. I can't see it being good.
the type of rugby they play can create epics when there is something on the line (RWC pool match) but when the stakes aren't as high, I think it will exponentially highlight everything that I believe is wrong with rugby.
I see your point but if the Irish beat the RWC reigning champions I doubt they'll be very quiet about it...
I follow literally zero coverage of Irish rugby so they can be as noisy about it as they want, but I won't see it!

@pakman only in the eye of a rugby loving beholder.
Ease off. Suggesting I'm not a rugby loving beholder is bit sad. Rugby used to come in a lot of different formats and I love a scrum smash up as much as anybody.
I just preferred people like Aki when he was 15kg lighter, and front rows trying to hold it all together at the 70th minute mark when shit starts getting real, as opposed to being close to 30 minutes sitting on their arse on the sidelines.

Personal attack followed by a shit meme sums you up very well Bones.
Thanks 😍 it was really personal too eh. You're being that guy coming to post in a thread about how shit the topic is, when you don't even fucking care.
You're the guy going into the star Trek thread to say star Trek is shit and then continuing to post about it.

You ok, hun?
This thread was dead, it's the number 1 vs number 2, including the current world champs. It should be humming. I've thrown out some discussion points, with some personal opinions which posters have rebutted. Who knows if I'll watch it, does it matter? Forecast is rain, so if golf is cancelled, I probably will. What does that make me then? I cannot wait to hear your dissection on that.
You're now coming close to matching the number of posts on some weird personal attack all about a throwaway line used to highlight the lack of interest in the game. And bringing Star Trek into it? WTF?
Maybe I'll be wrong, maybe it'll be like the WC game, which was an absolute pearler. If it is, then I expect Smuts to point it out to me, I'll agree, and life will go on ...

🤣 I'm not the one being a whiny bitch about imagined personal attacks. Wow what an attack. Labour in effect already.

If this is wrong I don’t want to be right:
Irish tighthead was in trouble from the start. SA loosehead didn't even have to start with his arse pointing at the sideline.
Is this because one had played a half of rugby already? Probably a discussion better suited to https://www.forum.thesilverfern.com/topic/5422/the-current-state-of-rugby/1517 but in my mind substitutions should only be for injury.

I'm looking forward to the game.
All sorts of different styles in test footy.
I'll be focussed on this game after ABs game and Wallabies game have finished
The intrigue of Razor's first test - 16 odd months since he was named coach and what Schmidt can do with rock bottom expectations is taking a lot of attention.

3am is a bit shit for me. May try a replay though, but I tend to get accidetnally spoiled these days

If it wasn’t for me there would only be 4/5 posts on probably the biggest match ytd. I think there something in that.
Your posts are just saying I don't want to watch this game because it'll probably be shit and it will demonstrate everything wrong with modern rugby.
Bones' memes are better.

Well according to virtually every South African fan, world rugby has worked tirelessly to depower the scrum to stop the boks gaining an advantage , so those scrums will be a thing of the past surely?
And about time to! 😂
