Guest Posted September 21, 2019 Posted September 21, 2019 Who is watching? Times are not helping me too much here but I'll be trying to catch is as usual.
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted September 21, 2019 Subscriber Posted September 21, 2019 I saw the Australia v Fiji match this morning and the Aussies had to up a gear as Fiji were leading at one stage but eventually lost 39-21, just watched the All Blacks beating Sth Africa and I fancied The All Blacks to win it this year but they didn't really play as good as I expected in the match but there is a long way to go yet and they did beat a good Springbock's side, I liked the Springbocks Full Back Cheslin Kolbe, he is only 1.72 ( 5ft7 ) tall but he had some speed on him like a silent fart when he took off.
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted September 22, 2019 Subscriber Posted September 22, 2019 Scotland are getting hammered by Ireland atm 19-3, Scotland had better pull their fucking fingers out of their back of their arses because if Ireland can score 3 try's in the first half I dread what they will do in the second half.
Devil-Dick Willie Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 Sofar... Australia suck, NZ rule, Argentina and France looked up to it, and Scotland suck.

Yeah I've heard that about the All Blacks but I still expect them to scrape it, given how they've just taken down the Springboks. Argentina could be a potential dark horse, especially when you consider how Jaguares did in Super Rugby this year.

Argentina is in England's group with France so really England have a tough group and might just be lucky finishing second. Scotland just got hammered by Ireland, looking at Ireland (they are favourites to win the World Cup) they switched off at the beginning of the 2nd half and let Scotland back in it but they switched back on again near the end, they can't do this against the likes of the All Blacks or the Aussies if they play them later on. The good thing I like about Rugby Union is the wife loves watching Rugby so this World Cup I can enjoy without her moaning "You watching bloody sport again..."

Not sure I agree with that. They’re certainly better than Argentina and it’s the worst France team in years. I’d be disappointed with anything but first.

Now, I'm no rugby expert, but are Irelands really the favourites this time? I remember they got hammered by Argentina last time around.
Guest Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 On another note, what a blooming dull game this one is between England and Tonga.
Guest Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 I hate to bring this up here, I really do, but I'm starting to see the effectiveness of VAR in this sport compared to something like football. That said, I'd have to see more before properly being able to compare.

England have a habit of shooting themselves in the foot sometimes, looking at the All Blacks yesterday they did not look like the All Blacks of years gone by and watching Ireland this morning I can understand why they are favourites. Looking at Scotland they were crap and they had better pull their bloody fingers out of the back of their arses, they have Japan & Samoa in their group which could cause them some bother.

Japan have hugely improved, I can see them giving you a bit of trouble. That said, I know Scotland have gotten decent results in the last few years. Anyhow, England have already run away with this game, not that it's any surprise.

Nearing h/t and it's only 13-3 and England should build on that and don't let Tonga sniff any chances and get back into it.

Scotland were shite and Wayne Barnes seems to favour Ireland at every breakdown. All Blacks and South Africa are firm favourites for me.
Danny Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 @DeadLinesman I was looking forward to seeing you slag off this competition, what’s happened to you??

I have always loved watching the All Blacks past & present, the commitment they put into their game is brilliant, they are like the Borg in Star Trek and saying to the opposition " Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated" in every game.
Guest Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 Wales taking the piss at the moment. 22-0 inside 26 minutes. Georgia nearly got a solo run there, would have been nice but they messed up the pass and lost their chance. Bugger.
Guest Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 Georgia have played their hearts out here. Giving the Wales defence a run. Too bad the game was done in the first half, but at least the scoreline will look respectable as a consolation. 36-14
Guest Posted September 24, 2019 Posted September 24, 2019 Love a good game day haka. Have a hunch it might work this time unlike Tonga Samoa lead Russia as it stands.
Guest Posted September 24, 2019 Posted September 24, 2019 Russia lead now. Samoa are making a mess of this. 6-5 and it's almost half time. 2 yellows for Samoa.
Guest Posted September 24, 2019 Posted September 24, 2019 Samoa lead again. 17-9. Game isn't over but I can't see Russia turning this around. They've relied on spot kicks in order to get their points. I think the Samoans will increase their lead.

I know bits and pieces cos I always watch the Super Rugby final and every World Cup, but I'm still at a loss for a few things. For one, I just guessed it "spot kicks" were the correct term, but I think it's actually penalties!

Well considering most Peruvians would probably look at a rugby ball and think it is an American football I think you have done ok
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted September 25, 2019 Subscriber Posted September 25, 2019 What a result this one, Fiji 22-30 Uruguay, underdogs killing act here, well done Uruguay Uruguay were beaten 68-7 by Fiji when they last faced each other earlier this year
