Re: The Official, one and only, RWC 2023 thread

So, the RWC report card for week 1 Venue Organisation B- With the exception of the England game, not heard of any other significant problems. Anthems - Z - Absolutely terrible idea to get pre-recorded school choirs to sing them, ruins the atmosphere completely Officials B- A mixed bag, some Howlers...

Re: Official United Rugby Championship thread

And the break, and the cross field kick for the try, and his defence and all the crisp passing. I think you need to mark him down for the yellow but other than that, he was excellent. Not looking for a shitfight, just didn't think he was good enough to deserve the slightly over the top rave reviews...

Re: Lawrence Dallaglio given time to clear £700,000 tax debt as he tries to avoid bankruptcy

His business acumen and management must be as shite as his rugby commentary and punditry I quite like Lol compared to Healy or Monye. God forgive me as an Irishman but Dallaglio was always my favourite player growing up, given I played 8. Proper tough, uncompromising karnt :thumbup: Hope it all wor...

Re: U20’s

If you're going to go on about missed kicks costing games then you have to admit that the knock on from the kickoff effectively gave France a try. 19 out of 20 he catches, that, way higher chance than the kicks.

I think he looks much more solid than Sexton did when Sexton started appearing for Leinster, years older. Just oozes confidence. Sexton is a worrier. Unsure if that's long term a problem but looks great right now :smile:

Ref is doing his best to ruin a fantastic game with pretty technical calls that don't need to be called. Disagree, i think the ref is having a great game, and a technical penalty, is still a penalty.

Re: 2022 The Rugby Championship

The fact NZ's captain had to have the penalty explained that he blatantly conceded, and at which he also didn't wrap, should be really worrying for the coaching staff. He should have had his hand up to acknowledge the brainfart.
