The Rugby Thread

Poor by England. How many handling errors? 15? 17?
How many stupid penalties? 4? 5?

Least they scraped the bonus point

and the least experienced ref gave the best ref performance of the tournament so far

I missed the whole second half. Seems like job done really.

The heft on this oneā€¦holy fuck!

Not a performance that will worry the top sides but a win is a win! Just got to hope the form improves as the tournament goes on.

Iā€™m glad this is being looked into.

Rugby is a funny old game. Before the match I was secretly hoping but not expecting a BP win.

After putting on 43 points Iā€™m a bit underwhelmed by that. For the few moments Georgia decided to have a defence Wales looked a bit lost. Shipping 2 tries as wellā€¦

Itā€™s a bit worrying ahead of Australia who will have 2 whole recovery days longer.

Tomos Williamsā€™ Neo impression was great though.

Really enjoyed that game. Try of the tournament so far as well.

co-incidence that youā€™ve lost Howley and suddenly have a great attack? :wink:

oh, and this is great

The Georgian defence beingā€¦ ermā€¦ Naive helped a bit as well.

Coincidence that Stephen Jones came in and Jon Fox had a belter? I think notā€¦

Iā€™m not sure what we learned from that. Itā€™s easy to play against a team with a Swiss cheese defence. When they tightened up we seemed a bit lost.

Gareth Davies should 100% have been yellow carded for that deliberate knock on.

For me, New Zealands first try is still try of the tournament.

To be battered for 20 solid minutes and then flick into a wave of attack like that, not only seeing the space but whipping the ball where it needed to be in a blur was what they are all about and it was champagne rugby.

Uru-fucking-guay!

What a game. So glad I got up early for it

and Hodge been banned for 3 games. What a difference that would have made to the game

The game is on in the office, happy days.

The rest of these pool matches are nearly all stinkers.

The Wales v Australia match is the biggest by far.

Thereā€™s almost no other match worth watching until the quarters.

Itā€™s strange watching the USA being shit at a sport.

Not watched their football team? Or basketball for that matter:

For some reason I think the USA almost always make the world cup football finals unlike Scotland say and the womenā€™s team just won their world cup. Come on the USA are still one of the top basketball teams, haha.

Japan have come back well here. They have nice hands and are getting close with these grubbers.

Itā€™s all about the final 20 in games like this though.
