Thread: Rugby World Cup 2019

I'm surprised that Fiji's first try after oranges was allowed.

The entire Fiji bench had run into the in-goal to celebrate before the try was awarded.

Actually, before that, as the player was crossing the line.

Spirit of the Game vs Rules of the Game

The Wallabies are shit:

Looks like they're running out of steam.

I just watched the same game on ITV Hub and not once did I get what you experienced. I'm confused. But in saying that I didn't watch the last 10 minutes.

Bastard...

Another laugh at me from ITV, I went for my free 7 day trial - of course it charged me the normal monthly rate of £3.99 for that... it says 'ad-free' and the minute I logged in after paying was greeted by 3 minutes of ads... Fukers.

Correct, though I was a wee bit nervous that first half.

Prediction time:

France will monster the Argies.

Underdogs New Zealand will win comfortably; they've put out close to their best team, imho.

Argies won't be monstered.

You'll see... These French lads are big and strong, very physical, the Argy scrum will be going backwards all evening.

Now, back to the Convicts: a good 80 minutes for them, and they can grow into the competition to perhaps cause a shock or two. I wouldn't be surprised to see them in the Semis or even the final (as long as they avoid England in the quarters... ). Hope they have somebody to replace Reece-Hodge after he is cited and misses the next 2 games.

Argentina have a history of being a bogey team for France.

Argentina draw first blood. 3-0

The South Pacific French are looking dangerous

Whoa... French on fire! Two quick tries...

Looks like the French have turned up to this WC; lots of good players; 7 & 12 are outstanding.

Still hurting after not getting the Ashes back hey?

You hope your Aussie coach can work out a plan mate.

A bonus point for the Aussies is all they needed!

Poor reffing and video reffing; the Aussie and the Bokk are the two worst around at their jobs, imho...
