RWC 2023

Wow. What a 2 legged tie that was.
Well done Chile!
Chile will probably get smashed in each and every game at the RWC, but just qualifying already means the world to up-and-coming tier 3 teams and what an experience it will be, playing against some of the best teams in the world!
Argentina is probably the only country in this pool they've ever played against and most likely it was an Argentina XV, not the Pumas.

I'm stoked to see them there, it's always great when a first time qualifier makes it.
They probably will get battered, but it'll still be a massive boost for them. Hopefully the squad will get funding for proper training camps and preparation matches etc. And should be massive for the profile of rugby in Chile

That is what happens these days. The lower T2 nation get pretty good funding, fixtures, camps etc in that world cup year paid and arranged by WR.
The operational side of WR is actually quite good and competent. It's the politics and refereering administration where it gets dire.

Hopefully I won't have to get shitty Spark Sport for this version, tho if Foster's still in charge, am I going to watch?

@Machpants Hopefully they will have 50 or 60 fps broadcasts by then, but I wouldn't count on it ...

@gibbon-rib really looking forward to the Uruguay Namibia and Chile Samoa games.

@voodoo yeah he played with a bit of old school edginess. That is a great video because it shows how emotional this game can be (look at the responses in this joint over the last 4 days đŸ˜‰).
Emotional enough to want to throw a ‘consolation’ prize away, but equally emotional to have gratitude when it comes back!
