Autumn International Rugby 2024

[fucthest8]

Our set piece is all over the place, but that try was class.

Here they come again though

 

[Petcha]

Very even. But you know the kiwi bench must be fucking loaded - not watched them in a while though. But you'd assume they'll bring on at least 5 world class players on 60 mins. Do they the French have that depth?

 

[Elpenor]

Love Nika the Georgian ref so much. He is number one in the world for me.

Hopefully he’ll get a lions test and would be my first choice for a World Cup final though it may be that it goes to one of the kiwi refs who are just below him in ranking but probably a bit older!

I disagree. He's not very good. That obstruction call right now...??

I know they're trying to blood refs from minor nations but fucking hell. Teach them the rules.

This has aged well

 

[Petcha]

This has aged well

We're not at 60 minutes

And this ref... fucking hell... what the hell is he doing in charge of a game like this?

Loathe it though I do to agree with Gabi, he's fucking awful.

 

[Petcha]

Wow.... this ref is fucking nuts

That is not a neck roll my friend

 

[Petcha]

Actually, watching a kiwi feed here. The commentators (rightly) saying the on field ref is not in control, its all coming from the TMO. Surely they should defer to the guy on the field?

 

[Elpenor]

I’ve not watched much of the second half so may have missed a bit.

I felt the TMO was getting in the way a bit in the other matches this weekend, feels like a common theme, so presumably the latest world rugby directive to fuck the game up

 

[bendeus]

World Cup final ref has lost it. Not for the first time

 

[fucthest8]

Well, I enjoyed it

 

[Mr Retro]

France deserved that. New Zealand had loads of possession and did nothing with it. They must have turned over their own ball 20 times. Beauden Barrett was very poor with the ball in hand.

 

[bendeus]

Well, I enjoyed it

So did I. Cracking game

 

[starfish]

An entertaining night of rugby.

 

[Monte]

Sorry only just saw this. I can usually find one here



Tbh the Eng-SA match was the first one that wasn't great quality (and only Italian commentators!)

Dunno how Ed feels about streams being posted up here, I'll take it down later

Thanks, I'll try it next time.

Decent win & performance from Scotland. Need to keep the penalty count down & annoying to concede that try but our forwards pretty much dominated theirs, which doesnt often happen. I can see a fair few Jocks in the Lions next year.

find a stream for the Australia game was a bastard

had to decamp to the pub

Guinness zero is alright

tasty little match by the way 15 -13

scrappy but we take it

 

[Elpenor]

Didn’t watch much of this but Ireland feel like a team on the downward slope now

Now I know why BOD and Warburton have been doing the Premiership games, because they’re doing the internationals too.

TNT coverage of these matches has been far superior to that of the bbc and itv when they do internationals. Shame so few have seen it as behind a paywall. Word is they are after the six nations which if they get it will be disastrous for the game

 

[Ax^]

did not watch any England matches but they appear a little middling now

 

[Elpenor]

“Middling Now”

They’ve been middling for a long time!

Ireland have had a poor autumn really - narrow wins against two teams they should have beaten by 10 points. All blacks should have been beaten.

Not saying England will win in Dublin the first weekend of the six nations but if they don’t, they might finish 5th!

Scotland have to give themselves a chance of winning the title going into the final weekend

Italy will be looking for three wins I reckon.

France are my tips for the 6N title.

Poor Wales
