Rugby World Cup 2019

[chelt_mackem]

We're building at least.

World Cup is weird though, we were incredibly ordinary in 2003 until the second half against Wales in the Quaters, pretty crap in 2007 but still made the final, so maybe being good is bad

Although we were shite in 2011 and 2015 so maybe being bad is bad

That's it for me, if we can keep getting better each game, we're going to be a handful when we come up against the top teams.

We look like we're going into each game with a plan, we have executed it reasonably well on each occasion without ever looking in much danger. That's all we can ask at this stage really.

Big improvement for me was that we went through the phases today. 20+ for Youngs try several minutes past the buzzer, in the 6N just past theres no way they would have committed like that, either woukd have forced something and fluffed it or gone for a drop goal. Engkand wanted the ball today.

Exactly, also a pleasing lack of penalties whilst in possession which has been our biggest problem in recent times.

Quite enjoying this game between Japan and Samoa.

 

[King Kareoke]

Enjoyable few minutes that

Scotland and Ireland will be well chuffed with Samoa's decision to allow Japan a chance for the bonus point there.

Can imagine them going apeshit when they chose the scrum.

The Scotch won't be happy about needing maximum points from the last 2 games as well as needing to keep Japan empty handed next weekend.

They should have played better then

Why did that new zealand 3 only get a yellow and not a red? Swinging arm to the head.

Surprising choice of ref

Got away with so much again.

Cheap shot but France got away with a deliberate knock on earlier

Worse in slow motion.

you would think this ref knew the french players, and recently played rugby in france...........

 

[humbug]

i've been disappointed with the pacific island nations so far, was hoping for a bit better showing. hopefully tonga can get sonething back against the frogs.

also, the ref at lincoln yesterday would have made a cracking prop.

 

[Cockney Mackem]

Come on Tonga

 

[Tezza]

Great game that.
