Rugby world cup.

The Argies are like the Aussies - they must be beaten to maintain the natural order in the world.
Fiji were this years fun team in the tournament. Last time it was Japan, next time...Tonga?

It's great to see these teams compete. It's great for the growth of Rugby

You'd be happy to see more teams compete?

This is the problem if you sanitize the game too much it ceases to become rugby as we know it.

Rugby (and indeed some other sports) have changed hugely since inception.

Good film that, Inception.
I did not know di Caprio played.
Fly-half was he?

You know that forward pass that was at least four foot and led to Argentina scoring a try, well the tmo who ruled it was legal was from waaaaales. Strange but true.
Another note the Argentina manager said how all the decisions went against his side but failed to mention the forward pass.
Strange but true.

I've been more into football but that's now starting to bore me.

I enjoy international rugby in tge way the fans and the country's conduct themselves. So yes more the merrier.
Until recently my young mate was playing for Israel . I watched him play via YouTube against Czech Republic and I think it was Serbia non of these teams are in the same league but one day it would be nice for them to be competing.

Not sure where rugby union will be in four years time.
Wayne Barnes gives a penalty to the Boks and admits it was the wrong decision but doesn't get reversed, NZ score a 'try' that gets ruled out from the bunker.
A red card is given for a head high tackle by a NZ. Player A similar tackle by a Bok player sees him receiving a yellow only.
Looks to me they're not only slowing the game down but tying themselves up in knots at the same time.

Thankfully that's all over now. Won't have to go into my local and listen to people who normally take zero notice of rugby suddenly turning into armchair experts. Spouting about where x team went wrong, what they should have done and giving their new-found expert analysis on every game.

And well done SA.

You don't get away with it that easy, be moving onto the cricket now.

I noticed both teams using their player quotas, one ginger per team

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water!

Affirmative action works for all.

I can Trump that.
Some gingers are disliked,
