2019 Rugby World Cup

@Siam You should be freaking out.
The sporting gods seemed to find the way they conjured up our defeat at the Cricket World Cup amusing - so I fear their sense of humour!
Us losing again to England in bizarre circumstances will likely entertain them!

I have been thinking along the same lines. The Lions series, the cricket, the bleating about the refs taking it easy on the ABs...it's not looking good.

BTW those two YCs last yesterday have lifted the ABs to first equal (with Namibia and Tonga) for YCs in RWCs.
So much for favouritism by the refs eh?We're just getting our much overdue comeuppance after years of getting away with filthy murder

Good lord that is the most unhinged thing I've ever read. And I spend time hanging out on the Politics forum!

How the fuck did he get through writing that and NOT mention the unfair advantage the Haka gives us?
Seriously mate, this is amateur hour.
EDIT: Just saw the comments ... check out all those red upthumbs!

The first one was for that Welshman headbutting Buck right on his fist.
Bring back the Biff (or Buck).
One of the great Rugby moments. The Welsh lock was sent off and carried off after Buck hit him.

Eng v France ,
Ireland v SamoaThat’s probably as good as you could hope for in pool play

@MiketheSnow Neil Francis? Didn't he make some homophobic comments on Irish radio a few years ago?
Neil Francis apologises over remarks on gay people and sports
‘I said the wrong things and some of the things I said were extremely clumsy’

Not sure why the reaction.
He is very complimentary about the AB's. I'd love it if the Bok backline defence was described like this:"The All Black line was back in a millisecond because even in a turkey shoot they act and play as if their very lives depend on them being there to protect their line and so they were waiting for the Canadians with meat cleavers and baseball bats."
Ok granted, the rest was rubbish - but that bit was good!

I liked this. Rant of the year:
"What is the upshot of this little vignette? First off Barrett should have got a yellow, Read arguably a red and Williams a yellow and Poite should have awarded Canada a penalty try.

And if he had managed to slip in some poaching comments we'd have the full Irish Whinge Bingo.

Anyone else catch that slot on CGW where they were at the fan zone for the Japan v Samoa game? Huge crowd and really getting into it even though most are 'new fans'.
Really impressed with the way the locals have brought into this RWC and the efforts from the organisers. -
@Crucial I wonder if this is where World Rugby arent too fussed with the Cardings, they are trying to appeal to a newer wider audience, many new to the game so to them this isnt detracting form the spectacle, in fact, possibly enhancing the 'drama'
Just a left field thought.
