Rugby World Cup 2023

Eddie Jones - a busted flush

 

[Petcha]

Australia really are very bad. Sad to see.

Why are Hooper and Cooper not even in the squad?

 

[quiet guy]

Snap

 

[fucthest8]

20 minutes to throw away a 26 point lead, can Wales do it?

 

[quiet guy]

Oh hush, they're not going to do that.

 

[Petcha]

God I hate the way Barnes addresses players by their names. Use their numbers Stuart.

And when he referees France speaks GCSE French to the players whose English is probably far better than his French.

Have you not seen this Austrialian team?

 

[Bingoman]

What the hell has happened to Australia over the last few years?

They not even trying,

Perhaps he goes out for a drink with them all afterwards, meets their mums and dads.

 

[fucthest8]

Oh hush, they're not going to do that.

They really aren't, but I'm enjoying the idea that bendeus is sweating over it

Eddie is apparently off to coach Japan after the World Cup anyway, leaving a sinking ship to miss out on a lions tour and a home World Cup. Think he’s a busted flush tbh

Why would Japan want him?

Beating Australia is nearly as sweet as beating Eddie Jones.

Wrong Barnes. Wayne not Stuart.

 

[Bingoman]

What are the chances of Australia finishing 4th In the group?

 

[two sheds]

Well I think you're all being a bit harsh on Australia they're not doing too badly for a Tier II nation.

 

[Petcha]

Wrong Barnes. Wayne not Stuart.

My point stands. Let's assume England won't be in the final.

Wayne will be the ref. O'Keefe is the best from what I've seen but NZ might still get their shit together.

 

[Elpenor]

Yeah Barnes (he would have had it last time if England not in the final) or Jaco Peyper I reckon. It will probably he his last World Cup.

 

[1927]

Unbelievable. Kicking for touch and cant even get that right!

 

[editor]

Wales have been fucking magnificent!

 

[planetgeli]

Absolutely stuffed them!

(Anscombe has been a great replacement for Biggar too)

 

[quiet guy]

Australia really have been poor. Bad kicking and poor decisions on when to pass. Eddie's going to take a beating in the Aussie press.

 

[gawkrodger]

Well EJ is never coaching a Tier 1 nation again

 

[Petcha]

Can they leave Ainscombe out now?

 

[Elpenor]

Demolished Australia

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Bloody hell!

I was still nervous until about 60 minutes in, mind.

 

[fucthest8]

Well EJ is never coaching a Tier 1 nation again

Sincerely fucking hope so. I fucking hate him.

 

[fucthest8]

Absolutely stuffed them!

Anscombe had a cracking match.

So what do we think, Wales vs who? Argentina? Gotta fancy Wales for that right?

Another ref I've been impressed by. Like the Georgian ref Amashukeli, he doesn't want to get bogged down in scrumming, wants to keep the game moving. Just called 'both down, use it' on scrums rather than trying to guess whose fault.

 

[Cerberus]

Loved that. Thank you Wales - always enjoy an Australian humbling.

Wales were head and shoulders above the Aussies. Dominant pack, excellent set piece. Great decision making. Imperious in defence. Everything Australia weren’t. Goodbye Uncle Eddie

 

[agricola]

I don't care for egg-chasing, but that result is very enjoyable.

jesus thought the first post world cup coach firing would be the english lad

eddie stepping up the plate quite nicely
