Rugby World Cup 2023

[Rita_Poon]

Another fine kick. Pens and corners for us you reckon?

I guess you just need the right mentality...

For me, I'd be mentally picking it apart, thinking: Well, the majority of the team aren't even of Maori decent, so that somewhat diminishes the legitanmicy and potency that dance is trying to achieve....

Yes I could tell the French guys were all thinking that!

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Cracking passage of play since the drinks break.

 

[Tommy Chong]

Yes I could tell the French guys were all thinking that!

You know what? Just for bantz, the French team should have broken out into a choreographed chorus line of the Can-Can dance after the Haka...

Threat nullified!

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

France are hanging in for the bell here.

 

[ChesterBlue]

Ramos for France is insanely good at kicking isn’t he? Literally any penalty in NZ’s half is converted

 

[Walken]

Grim this, a bunch of fat lads wheezing as the full backs play pong

 

[Milk]

Too hot for good rugby.

Fully expect the last 20 mins to open up and the All Blacks to put a few tries on as is their playstyle. French are dangerous though, very dangerous, if they can keep their fitness.

Too hot for good rugby.

And they could air-con the football world cup....

#11 Telea

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Great try that

 

[Rita_Poon]

quality pass.

 

[Tommy Chong]

All Blacks, the kopites of international rugby.

One other thing I will add before I put this issue to rest:

What other team needs to perform a lame, pointless and ridiculous tradition before each match in order to delude themselves into thinking that not only are they unique, but they are also vastly superior to everyone else in every way?

The RS of course! The Haka is tantamount to singing that funeral dirge You'll Never Walk Alone before every home match. 'Look at us! We're special!'

Sigmund Freud would have a field day uncovering the psychology behind that mess!

He wouldn't need very long.
