Re: Israel declares state of war
What exactly is Israel's end game? Do they even have one? I get the impression that for them this was a 9/11 moment and they reacted out of anger and a need for vengeance. Surely, cooler heads must be starting to regret going so hard? Then again, for Netanyahu and his need to distract from his case,...

Re: Bin O’Keefe and that last scrum.
I’ve got an idea, we should de-power scrums, then we can get rid of a couple of players, that will create more space for more tries!!! That would be an awesome change and make rugby soooo much more exciting I've got an idea, why don't you make the same shit unoriginal joke that every other plum mak...

Re: How do we get away from games decided by how refs interpret the law?
This is one of the dumbest rugby 'laws' If a defender gets a finger on your pass, your pass was shit. end of. AMEN! Simplify the law. If a defender gets a hand on your pass, it's a shit pass that's too late. If it went fell on the ground and went forward off the defender it's a knockon. If it went ...

Well, how about rucks and scrums? Surely we can't say that referees aren't reffing these areas according how THEY interpret the laws.

Re: How do we get away from games decided by how refs interpret the law?
Can't be good for the game then It has been a part of the game since the game was invented. Is the correct answer. You adapt to the refs. It's a skill. But that's my point. Why can't we just have common sense laws that take away the need for teams to study the ref about as much as they study the op...

Re: QF 3: England vs Fiji: A Half Arsed Fred
Fijian captain was a disgrace in the press conference. He’s surely going to be sanctioned for accusing the officials of bias. I certainly don't agree with his actions but is there a way to raise these concerns? Can/do refs face sanctions? He also threw a tantrum on field which looked very bad. And ...

Re: How do we get away from games decided by how refs interpret the law?
Well Etsebeth looked to have knocked the ball back for starters. Interpretation has always played a part. But it’s tough when the team you support isn’t typically good enough and you need every bounce to go your way. And I say that as a long suffering Stags fan. Sorry yes, but still it could have e...

In one game, Aaron Smith knocks the ball on, it's deemed a penalisable and cardable offence In another, Owen Farrell knocks the ball on, it's just a penalty In yet another, Etzebeth I think it was does the same and the ref just says it's a knock on How do we get to a place where the laws are followe...

I think Fiji have this unless theyre knackered or choke. Dont think England have the game to strangle them otherwise.

Re: QF 3: England vs Fiji: A Half Arsed Fred
Most of the discussion around England team selection has centred on 10 and 15. But the big selection call is in the pack and particularly in the back row. Lawes-Curry-Earl are three great individual players but a pretty lightweight and imbalanced trio. Across the whole pack there's a general lack o...

Re: QF - cocks on the block - your picks
I think Wales will have too much for Argentina Ireland look awesome but I think NZ will have their measure. Fiji tend to rise or fall according to their opponent but it won't matter with the way England play. France and South Africa. Honestly, I just don't know. France maybe because of home advantage?
