The Rugby thread.

They're still going on with that "player" of the match shyte. You have 15 burly lads averaging around 15 stone a piece yet they can't be called "man" of the match presumably in case one of them identifies as a woman.

Another bit of wokery I noticed was in the Vodafone Ad where a young Andy Farrell is being talked to by his Da in the car (looks like an Opel Rekord).

It shoots to a pair of kids playing in the back seat and the two of them are wearing seat belts. What car in the early 80's had rear seat belts? You'd be lucky to have them in the front.

Did they think having these 80's kids without seat belts would encourage modern kids to shun them?

Wearing of seat belts has been mandatory in the UK since 1983.

In the back?

Argentina are favourites to beat England tomorrow night , hopefully they can get over the line , it would be a great start to the world cup

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

Very tight game here between France and New Zealand. One try will probably win it with 20 to play.

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

Big penalty there from ramos and the frogs have got this one in the bag

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

So if we win our group we play the All Blacks and if we're runners up its France.

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

As George hook would say the frogs rushed the all blacks out the gate

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

The final flawless Rugby World Cup pool record falls.

The All Blacks had never lost a pool match over the previous nine tournaments. France also become the first team to beat NZ three times at RWC's.

TRY for Romania ......Johnny fucked a Gruber kick and Romania took it home

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

Argies had a great opportunity to get revenge for the Falklands against a 14-man England but they were pants.

Wales v Fiji now could be a knock down drag out.....not much diversity in that Fiji team

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

These Fijians are a hell of a side , they are king of the offload

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

A 37 year old Irish fan was abducted and raped by 3 men after the Romania match.

Welsh fans found her lying on the street in a bad way.

Needed Maradona at scrum-half ~ Even coked up to the eye-balls ! !

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

They are saying the three rapists are white

 

[Skin the Goat]

You seem to be more upset by that than the actual rape.

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

I think Saul's frustration is to do with the ofttimes erroneous reporting of the media when it comes to situations like this.

If the perps are black/brown it is concealed. If they're white their faces get plastered all over the place.

Its early days yet Goat. We will find out the race of these fellas in due course.

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

I would make them dig their own graves and then drill them skin I wouldn't care what breed of foreigners they were .....once correct perp is established

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

Goat doesn't seem overly perturbed about the fate that befell this Irish woman.

What a ridiculous post.
Mine was the only contribution to draw attention to the atrocious nature of the assault, regardless of the skin colour of the perpetrators.

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

Your input seemed more like a point scoring effort against Saul Goodman rather than any concern for the victim, Sir.

There's no place for "point scoring" when it comes to victims of heinous crimes. Sir. Maybe you should stick with your desire to watch people suffering.

How did these rats grab her up anyway ? Was she travelling alone ? She's lucky to be alive it has all the hallmarks of Albanians

Could we please get back to the Rugby A-hole?

 

[Skin the Goat]

You should've taken heed of the thread Title!

Tonga up next for Ireland , a team Ireland should not take lightly

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

Indeed Sir. We've seen the Pacific Island teams recently. Fiji beat England and and had Wales beat only for a ball spill.

Ireland only scraped past Samoa a couple of weeks ago too.

He's playing a team with 13 starters from the Grand Slam win against England so its his very best side.

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

Portugal are putting up a great fight against the Welsh in the first half anyway

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

The Tonga haka was taking place and the camera kept going to Bundi who was stoney faced what were the French tv producers implying

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

Bundi has crossed for Ireland's sixth try and put Tonga to the sword Ireland lead 45 - 16 with 15 to play , Farrell has rung the changes and completely emptied the bench

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

Eddie Jones will be lynched in Oz if they don't make it out of the Pool

Fiji 22-15 Australia

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

Fiji were absolutely ballin today and were better than the 7 points victory margin

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

Eddie Jones admits Fiji ‘thoroughly deserved’ shock Rugby World Cup win over Australia

Australia's World Cup knock-out hopes were left hanging by a thread after a shock 22-15 loss to Fiji, which was "thoroughly deserved" according to under-pressure head coach Eddie Jones.

France have scored more than a point a minute in the first half against Namibia , the Africans just not up to it at this level

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

With 21 minutes gone Ireland's lineout is shot to pieces

 

[clarke-connolly]

With 21 minutes gone Ireland's lineout is shot to pieces

Did better overall for the last 15 / 20 minutes of the first half ~ ~ A long way to go

The South African Bomb Squad may bring Some Bombs ! ! !

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

A mighty performance from Ireland , probably their hardest ever won at a world cup , the springboks blew up and paid the price of not having a reliable place kicker in their starting 15

Fair enough but ir was a game that could have gone either way really.

If / when, South Africa progress they will put Handre Pollard in to the team ~ ~ This will solve their goal-kicking situation.

If Ireland was to meet South Africa again it would be a 50 = 50 game.

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

Johnny sticking it out for over 70 minutes is a huge positive for Ireland and bundi is hot right now
