Rugby World Cup 2023

[chicoazul]

Good morning guys this is the Rugby World Cup thread, for real rugby and not the bastardised code designed to promote the very worst scruffy areas and distract wools from incest. That’s not rugby but a simple training game devoid of strategy which is why only two countries compete in it. Fat steroid riddled heavily gelled thickos terrified of a ruck, that’s Rugby League. I feel sick even mentioning it in such a thread so let’s get back to the real rugby and enjoy the Rugby World Cup thread. I’d ban all wool and Yorkshire IP address from being able to even access this thread. Australia too until they sort themselves out.

Can we ban English fans from this thread too for their continued singing of that Tory slave song please.

Yes English rugby fans are Tories and therefore do not fit in our beautiful game.

Look forward to their game with the Pumas, should be another cracker. What a sport man, you soccer fans with your entitled cry babies and their play acting are missing out. True noble competitiveness is being contorted in the mud amongst a sea of limbs and some fat prop putting his finger in various orifices of yours as you can’t move and he seeks to gain a competitive edge over you and your team. Or the worst of them all, pinchers. Your Messi would was less than a minute.

Mate, also throw American Football and other godawful mess that they play; Aussie Rules into that pile.

Jesus wept...

The French winger. What was he doing carrying the ball in his left hand. @chicoazul basic schoolboy stuff, no?

I actually don’t mind Aussie Rules. American Football’s hard men in their helmets and big pads doing seven second plays are gigantic phonies.

He’s just showing he’s an avowed socialist. Good lad.

This world cup is going to be good. Shame it's so hot. I suppose the rain will come near October.

Thunderstorms forecast for next Tuesday.
Fine and cooler after that.

Fair play though, you’re unlikely to see a better try saving tackle this RWC.

Shouldn't have even been a possibility though. Stick the ball in your right hand so you can fend with your left and reach out with ball in hand so even if your body is out of play you still score. You see it every week in League. Basic stuff. Instead, he had the ball tucked in on his left side, giving the tackler every chance to dislodge it as he made the tackle.

Nice try from the Namibians, giving it plenty of fight here.

I’m not sure why your making this a League v Union “ basic stuff” comment , because it isn’t.
The ball was under his body when he dived, held by his left hand I agree , but it would have been the same result if it was held by his right hand , as it was still under his body . He was diving for the line , with the ball under his body , technique was fine , a second faster and he’d have bounced over the line for a try. In my view Richie Mo’unga made a fantastic try saving tackle, if you disagree that’s fine by me.

Wow, even the disagreements are more polite in rugby...

Interesting game this between Italy and Apartheid. I thought they would run away with it by now but these white farm masters are resilient.

 

[ChesterBlue]

Wow, what a try that is!
