2 french players cited and likely to miss the england game. both forwards.

By the by mitchell in the post match said he's speaking to the refs and world rugby to explain why yellow cards aren't being given for persistent infringements.

As an aside... have many yellow cards or red cards been given except for high tackles or dangerous tackles?

They have been saying in media that post WC scotland are going down to only 15 full time contracts. Very disappointing decision as I dont see how that is going to help scotland push on. They announce a game at murrayfield in 6 nations suggesting they want to take the womens game to next level yet t...

Shame I can't see a full game. That was insane. Walsh is a star.

I'm also here for Ben Hunts redemption. Really want him to right a wrong after dropping the ball all those years ago.

Yes, every game. It's been a real blight and it's the same in the 6 nations as well.

ruby tui has been on every england game. bbc has no doubt paid her a large fee and they think everyone adores her- but personally I would prefer not to see someone so firmly in the kiwi camp and desperate for them to win, on every england game.

Yep. And Ireland would have scored, if that catch was made.

f**king tragic, Ireland were robbed. They got themselves into the mess but the reffing was atrocious when it mattered.

Yeah I said earlier. Couldn't believe it she showed the ref and the ref simply walked away.

The standard of refereeing is atrocious in all sports right now.

Yeah it was… surely surely that’s a penalty?
Can you have a deliberate knock on in the lineout? Never seen one given

So you just do a knock on at the lineout and just reclaim and kill the ball?

Sounds utterly ridiculous.

Raiders Broncos I've just seen the highlights.

Shit I wanna watch the full game that just looked absolutely astonishing.

Reece Walsh is a dick and hes box office my god hes brilliant.

I can't see Aussie women winning this or coming close to Canada unfortunately.

Pessimist.

Now for the game I think could be very very close. Looking forward to Australia vs Canada.

Stacey Waaka is a freak btw. She's literally the difference between the Black Ferns having an average attack to a world class backline. She's been my man of the match nearly every single game she's played for them this world cup. She’s the best centre in NZ men or women. She's the worlds best centr...

By the way someone elsewhere said Sorensen Magee looks like Wednesday Adams and now I can't unsee it.

Whisper it, but the Boks looked fitter than the All Blacks. Scream it - was hardly a secret to anyone with eyes. It's not something you'd expect tho. I'd have thought, a bit like France that South Africa empty the tank with heavies and that if you moved them around... they'd tire. Didn't happen. Th...

I'll say it again. From what I've watched in the rugby championship.... we should go 4/4 this autumn.

Up your jumper style game so Eng forwards should have fun.

Probably suits england. Don't have to reveal too much and can just destroy that scottish pack which is already struggling.

They seem to have already given up winning another term- but they just don't have anybody to offer. I think there are mechanisms to force an election if they won't jump.

There is another video angle taken before the shooter fires, and a group of people are filming the roof tops looking at the shooter and saying "isn't he supposed to be in position already?"

SA did rotate quite a few for the France game, and they'll be an emotional comedown from the Italy game, so I hope they'll be better this weekend. Not that I think they'll come close to NZ. Ireland were disappointing with the ball, and couldn't handle the NZ intensity on attack or defense. Losing t...

England by 50

One dark kinda nasty thought I have in the back of my head is is it worth funding the womens game to the extent we do when we're (6n - England) as far away from cracking the top 4 as we ever have been. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/rugby-union/2025/09/08/world-cup-record-breaking-but-women-rugby-dang...

Wendigo7

The top 4 always had and still have a big big gap on the rest. Gaps have sort of closed up a bit ...but not really. NZ still a once in 4 years team and English still dominant always except once every four years I'll replay Irish TV to see who of Irish girls is likely gonzo Australia if they do that...

Wendigo7

So here we go then:

New Zealand vs South Africa
Canada vs Australia
France vs Ireland
England vs Scotland

From what I've seen all 4 pool winners will likely win, if you are to play it safe. Australia beating Canada the most likely shock.
