Rugby World Cup 2023

[quiet guy]

SA v Tonga was a good match for a neutral to watch. There were some big units on both sides.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

End of the match huddle. Both teams.

Three 'rest days' for everyone now after the strenuous efforts of playing a game every two weeks.

 

[two sheds]

A commentator mentioned that one of the hookers said that the day after any game he could hardly physically move. That they had to keep the kids away from him because it was too painful when they tried to play.

edited to add "the day" after

What’s even worse is that after the final on October 28th the lazy sods won’t play another World Cup game for nearly 4 years!!!

Players should be forced at sun point to play all their matches in one day. Get the group over by 12pm. Lunch. Knockouts. Final at 9pm. Winners boarding the plane by midnight.

I think it was Fiji v Georgia the other day I noticed how they were all completely fucked after the game. Big, big units lying prostrate all over the field.

Strange really when the game's gone all woke with the proper tackles being yellow carded

Here's one I've not seen before: own goal

Scottish under-18 achieves unprecedented rugby ‘own goal’

Teenager’s attempt to deflect conversion instead diverted ball over own side’s posts, denying his team victory

I have a memory from about fifteen years ago of a team setting up a human pyramid to prevent a last minute penalty from going over the posts.

(I may have dreamt this, or read an April Fools story and believed it).

NZ vs Uruguay

 

[Elpenor]

Must put it on as I’m working tonight

 

[two sheds]

All Uruguay so far

 

[two sheds]

Uruguay were SOOOOOOOOOOOOO close

Evenly balanced sides so far, Uruguay shading it though

 

[Elpenor]

Come on Uruguay they’re doing themselves proud

 

[Petcha]

Barnes once again addressing all the All Blacks by their first names ('Richie, 'Damien' etc). But Not the Uruguayans. Use their numbers please.

 

[Petcha]

And I wish the fucking commentators could at least learn how to pronounce Uruguay. It's not Yuroguay gents.

 

[two sheds]

Oooooh foot in touch? Bloody hell no

 

[Petcha]

Don't know how they can leave McKenzie out of the first team. What else does the lad need to do? Gonna have to drop Beauden to the bench methinks.

It did happen and they outlawed it afterwards.

Maybe he needed a rest?

I want to say it was Leicester lifting Martin Johnson

France Italy for another

Two cracking anthems.
