Seriously? What a pussy.
If you think it looks stupid, stick to your guns.

Reduce the number of subs to 3. One must be a prop who can play both sides. Players get more tired, gaps open, increasing the impact of quick skillful players over bulk. Massive collisions are reduced, game is better to watch. England consigned to the dustbin of history. Everybody who matters is hap...

USA worked their arses off for very little reward.
France have some wonderful skills but can't see them featuring at the pointy end of the tournament.

Real lack of vision, there by the lock.
Perhaps forgivable but missed a real opportunity.

Yeah needs to put that away. The ball runners are doing such a good job they should keep it going.

Aaaaargggh!

O'Keefe bottled that. Two final warnings, WTF? Sadly refs seem to find it hard to bin tier 1 players when playing tier 2 nations. And you know he's going to bin a yank for a similar offence with no or just one warning :lol: The Scottish commentator and his side kick were bewildered by it as well.

2010’s winning, :lol: It’s by far the most prosperous, peaceful, educated, and obviously technologically advanced time ever in History.

2010’s winning, :lol: It’s by far the most prosperous, peaceful, educated, and obviously technologically advanced time ever in History. Indeed. And the 2010s also offers high quality free porn on tap. It's quite remarkable that the one-handed typists on here have overlooked this highly salient fact...

Japan play a rush defence but also very swift attack. Probably one of the best teams at beating a rush with the speed they move the ball. It was no coincidence that they managed against Ireland, they'd shown they could do it against the boks a few weeks back, just had a bad case of the dropsies in ...

Soho 1 & 2 makes Sky vaguely worth while, but barely . I’m pleasantly surprised with Spark Sports , given that I was away for the South African game and it’s obvious technical issues. Terrific picture and coverage for the Japanese victory . Mingy highlights tho agreed. For for mingy highlights, see...

That's what switches folk off sky. I've no interest in golf, f1, a bunch of old shit movies. Just the rugby and nothing more, but the expectation is there's added value in paying for a bunch of shit I've no interest in and don't want. We don't live like that anymore. Yep This is why I never got it....

How long until goggles are the next 'must have' item for young Rugby players, just as head gear, coloured boots and skins have all enjoyed popularity over the years? Remember when gloves were essential items for fuckwits? Taine Randell was the pioneer of those wasn't he? Alan Hewson used to wear th...

https://i.imgur.com/xSZFJQ9.gif Quality GIF to analyse, I like the view from behind the tackler too. What you can see clearly, even though he separates his arm slightly from the 'brace' is that he doesn't strike at all, he absorbs the tackler's impact then uses his own momentum to then push away. T...

The Samu Kerevi incident is just another example of a seemingly innocuous incident being deemed foul play, when last week and for the previous hundred or so years, such an incident would have happened without a second look. There has never been a crisis of foul play in International Rugby, yet it a...

How about a novel sanction for closing the gap? Throw retaken and you are not allowed to contest. This gives a genuine advantage to the throwing team without going the nuclear option, which causes referees to hardly ever call it. Free kick is not that useful as you want the forwards tied up. penalty...

If that's a penalty to was Yatos.
Exactly Yato did exactly the same, yet hodge was suspended for it.
Hodge deserved the sanction he received. But you are correct in saying Yato did similar.

Yep, agree with that.
