Re: Springboks vs England . RWC Semi Final thread
F-ck off with these shit comments. What do posters think they're doing saying every game is a shit, horrible performance way below expectations etc.? You get out there you wankers. (no offence). That was an amazing game. An absolute arm wrestle in bad conditions. The players left nothing out there ...

Re: 2023 Rugby World Cup Final Match Thread - NZ Vs South Africa
What should be concerning to the rest of the world is that the Springboks and All Blacks have qualified for the final despite being arguably the weakest they have been in the pro-era over the last RWC cycle. At various times over the last four years both teams have been well below their usual stand...

Re: The Irish deserve some credit
this whinging about the draw,the lack of atmosphere and the lack of quality rugby etc etc has been rather unbecoming from some of the irish fans and media pundits. it feels just like sour grapes because they lost yet again in the qfinal. as other posters have said had ireland thrashed argentina,the...

Re: Springboks vs England . RWC Semi Final thread
Gutted. Very proud of the team. Ref started to ride us in the scrum in the last 20 mins and that killed us. Was he right to? Who knows? Otherwise, we were the better team across the pitch.

Re: Springboks vs England . RWC Semi Final thread
Indeed. They've had a very easy run to the Final when you compare to the Boks and now get a day extra rest to top it off. So, you concede the Bok 2019 win was all due to luck? Good to know. :thumbup: If he does, will it make the name on the trophy change? I’m not implying that it should, rather pus...

Re: Springboks vs England . RWC Semi Final thread
First, congratulations England. Very few expected you to take the Boks to the wire, but you fronted up and gave it everything. From a Bok perspective, my fears came to fruition - I always expected a tight close game (amplified by the weather). I was concerned about the Boks being flat after that ma...

Re: All Blacks V Los Pumas. RWC 2023 Semi Final thread.
The way the All Blacks were trying to run up the score with the clock in the red was appalling sportsmanship. Kiwi teams routinely do this, and when I call them out the simpimg kiwi posters cry about points difference. No points difference in a semi final when you're up by 50 points. Just a bunch o...

The best team will win the tournament regardle...
