Rugby World Cup 2023

Who is the replacement scrum half, is it Serin? He's very decent.

 

[Ax^]

has the namiba captain fled France yet

 

[flypanam]

Looks like DuPont at best is back for a potential semi final. But could be completely out.

This is huge, he is the face (fractured now) of the home World Cup so it’s like New Zealand losing Dan Carter in 2011. But that turned out ok

Yeah but they had to call in Stephen Donald from his fishing trip...things could have gone very wrong.

Its a massive loss for France, who ever they get in won't have DuPont's speed, strengh, nous, or presence. If I was South Africa I'd definely lose tomorrow in order to face France.

Argentina ahead against Samoa

This co-commentator certainly has a way with words. After describing a Fijian as 'an absolute savage' last time, we're now informed 'its all about having as many studs on the field as possible'

I can't watch all the games this weekend, but I'm well up for Ire-SA, Scot-Tonga and Wales-Aus.

 

[Elpenor]

Samoa bit of a damp squib. Boffelli is such a good kicker

 

[starfish]

There will be a fair few sore bodies after that match.

Good start to Georgia Portugal game

Close game not kicking all the bloody time so more attractive than England's games.

 

[starfish]

Must stop giggling every time they mention the Portugese hooker.

And Storti coming from nowhere to become Portugal's all-time World Cup leading scorer

[bendeus]

Bugger!

Really good game though, lots of running with the ball

Now for the big one

I suppose Chile will be coming in slight favourites but I reckon Smith at full back will be the game changer. He's a lovely little mover.

 

[two sheds]

Lovely little mover, can't pass mind.

 

[starfish]

Really good game though, lots of running with the ball

A game where most neutrals would be happy with the result. Would have been tough on either to have lost.

 

[Ax^]

[quiet guy]

Nice try after sucking up so many tackles

 

[two sheds]

Great first half

 

[flypanam]

Saffa backs blowing hard, gaps opening. Keep our heads on the third quarter and keep them out. Be interesting to see when the nuke squad come on.
