Natural order of the universe is restored. Aus scrums being manshamed by everybody.

I’m beginning to come round the a 6N A & B with a playoff. Imagine a year of games potentially in Lisbon, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Tbilisi and Hamburg .Reckon you would still fill a stadium for a 6Nb fixture against this lot

Both on 10 points, and the jocks with a better points difference.

I imagine it’s something obvious but whatever it is, I’m missing it.
Good question, I don't get it either.

It's decided by the bunker system.

May get away with that one, looked passive

Posted: **Sun Oct 01, 2023 4:05 pm**

Yellow, I think it will stay yellow, initial contact is should/ball and then pops up with arm to make head contact.

Pen goal missed by Aus.

Ah well, nice while it lasted

That should not be upgraded based on the decisions made recently in the world cup.

Nice try from a dodgy thrown lineout.

Posted: **Sun Oct 01, 2023 4:08 pm**

Forward pass not checked?

Right call

Yeah a 6N involving trips to:
London
Paris
Edinburgh
Lisbon
Tbilisi
Rome

Seems pretty ideal as a permanent solution

Indictment on this RWC that we need to worry about and applaud the officials making a correct decision.

it's a nice idea in some ways, bur would kill pro rugby in whoever went down, imo. maybe they'd bounce back up straight way, but that's not happened at junior level.

All i can say is that the Fiji v Portugal game is going to be mental for running rugby

Something that can be said about all the European tier 2 teams (and Spain who are not here) is that the scale of their ambition with ball in hand is lovely to see, genuinely enjoyable to watch

Agree. Portugal really should have scored a couple of minutes ago

Edit- don't think the ref is giving anything to Portugal here.

Yeah a couple of blown opportunities and a poor sin bin period. But this has been a pretty even game.

Honestly can’t understand how anyone sees a game like this, the crowd like this, and then demands tier 2 teams get chucked out the world cup

Posted: **Sun Oct 01, 2023 4:36 pm**

Scoreline flatters the Wobs, that card utterly killed the Portuguese...thought it was harsh too as the guy more or less stood there as the Aussie tried to run over him. Whatever.

Posted: **Sun Oct 01, 2023 4:40 pm**

I know this has been discussed here loads, but it's wild GT is a pundit on itv

Posted: **Sun Oct 01, 2023 4:42 pm**

Selfish from the Portuguese 7 on that non-try as well, should be a 10-point game.

Posted: **Sun Oct 01, 2023 5:03 pm**

Two gilt edged chances gone begging for Portugal now, this could have been very close

Posted: **Sun Oct 01, 2023 5:10 pm**

Throat high, Neville FFS it's about player safety

Posted: **Sun Oct 01, 2023 5:10 pm**

Can't believe that isn't a yellow.

Posted: **Sun Oct 01, 2023 5:11 pm**

Announce implosion

Posted: **Sun Oct 01, 2023 5:11 pm**

Has to be a penalty try ffs

Posted: **Sun Oct 01, 2023 5:12 pm**

Ozzie supporters must be hating this.

Posted: **Sun Oct 01, 2023 5:13 pm**

What the fuck is Neville playing at?

Posted: **Sun Oct 01, 2023 5:13 pm**

I've backed Joy on several occasions, but after the last 5 minutes she can feck right off.
