Rugby World Cup 2015

[StevieM]

18-8 so far.

Are Fiji better than expected?

They can't kick for shit - which is great for England, because England would be being beat if they could.

 

[Leo]

They're fucking brutes.
Really physical.
Fair fucks to them for making a test out of it.
I thought it was going to be a walkover after 20 minutes.

 

[StevieM]

It's basically one of NZ's reserve teams. [emoji6]

 

[Leo]

Turnover ball is killing England.
They will have to improve massively to win the group.

 

[Athens]

England have been far from convincing. But then again I know nothing about Fiji.

 

[Leo]

That seals the deal for England.
Good game though.

It's a island in the pacific.

 

[Leo]

It's a island in the pacific.

Could you be more pacific.

 

[Mors]

Thought our scrums were bollocks for most of the game and we got turned over too much, but a good result in the end, get in.

 

[StevieM]

I think the only thing that is surprising is that @Brendad4PM hasn't pointed out that England are trying to disguise themselves as Wales with that away strip.

 

[Athens]

It's a island in the pacific.

I know that much about it. Actually, it's an Archie Pelago (whoever he is) and has over 300 islands.

I've had an Itchie Pelago, but never an Archie Pelago.

Are you sure it was the super gonorrhea mentioned earlier in the general chat forum?

 

[Judge Jules]

In 2003 we played like drains in our opening game against the Saffers (who weren't half as good then as they are now) but still won by 15, and look how that turned out. If last night's display gets the Taffs and the Wallabies thinking they have it made against us, that'll be an added bonus.

 

[Judge Jules]

I know you'll be watching that game wishing you had been lucky enough to have been born in God's country

I was, mate. Liverpool born, Liverpool bred, strong in the arm, weak in the 'ead.

 

[Rosco]

Good win for Georgia - im guessing Tonga were favoured?

Not a great start by us, looks like we're going to wear them down. This could be dull

 

[Rosco]

Sorry ILD, no way Canada are keeping this below 40.

We're playing them as if they're a good side - putting them under pressure with great kicks, turning the screw at every opportunity

 

[Rosco]

Impressive stuff from Ireland.
Well drilled, sticking to the plan.

Fitzgerald is making a good case for himself. I'd give Sexton a rest in the second half

 

[Rosco]

Payne hands Canada a try and gives the handicap bet a lifeline

 

[Rosco]

50-7. Good start - with a few players nailing down spots.
Henderson is particular, I've always felt he offered more than Toner and he really showed it today.

 

[Judge Jules]

Japan pushed the Springboks very hard indeed in that first half - more than matched them for skill and speed, and weren't afraid to mix it either.

 

[Rosco]

Japan a point ahead!

Not watching this one, but having seen a bit of Georgia earlier plus Canada - these teams have come as prepared as they could be.

For example - Canada had a well drilled and excellently executed 3 man line-out devised to deal with Sexton inevitably putting kicks into touch around their line.

 

[Jürgen4PM]

I'm expecting Uruguay to be extremely well drilled as well.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

What a game South Africa v Japan is. It'd be boss if Japan won this.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Hahahahaha get the fuck in.

 

[Leo]

Ah that's phenomenal.
Fair fucks.
Brilliant.

 

[Jürgen4PM]

Wow!

A few south Africans won't be going home for a few years

 

[Leo]

Unbelievable is a phrase used to often but that is unbelievable.
Not one person in the fucking world could predict that.

Come on fellas, have a heart. LTW will be hurting tonight. 😉
