There's something a little poetic about that.
Geoff First is last, you mean?

That too, but more along the lines of "They think it's all over. It is now."

And I have a baldist pass, being a slaphead myself.

Cannonball shot. Great combover.

If alive, I’ll be 77. On the plus side, 12 years to dust off my Spanish O level from 1974

Same experts would need to account for his momentum. He hit it clearly backwards for me. What has his momentum got to do with a ball that he wasn’t carrying? This is different from the physics of a non forward pass. There will be forward element imparted to the ball at the moment of contact. If you...

Guys I reviewed that another million times and I cannot take out of my head this should have been a yellow plus penalty try to France. At the very least however that should have been reviewed by referee, as it involved a great 14 swinging points between two teams. Just to close my arguments about r...

Gwenno

Guys I don’t think at all Etzebeth passed the ball behind - I reviewed that action many times and my feeling is still that he just cut the ball from the French player, deliberately knocking down preventing a clear French try on the making. I know this will stir heavy criticism on me - but that is h...

Etzebeth bats it back again!

How many times have Argentina been granted a who spoke Spanish, Italy an Italian speaker or Georgia a Georgian speaker? That is a reality, English is the international language anyway and it would be wise to teach international players to speak english. It does give an advantage to native English s...

The op refers to 2 knocks on and one knock back. The difference between the 2 knocks on is that the ref had to decide whether the knock on was intentional or not, and if having decided that it was intentional whether it was significant or not, and from that decide the sanction. The crucial and hard...

I agree - glad we avoided NZ and the 3/4 play off, and remember how you felt less than a year ago after losing to Georgia. We got the 1/4s after winning our group by 8 points dumping Oz in the process.

Gwenno

No such thing as a deliberate knock back tho... There is, in that you can knock it backwards deliberately, the point is it isn’t a foul unless the ball goes out of play. I think the trend of calling a deliberate knock on (an offence) a deliberate knock down (not an offence unless it goes forwards) ...

Argentina - because they have never won it, and all my paternal aunt’s family live there. NZ because 2 family members are Kiwis. SA because Pinotage is a very interesting wine. England because history. The usual caveats - individual rugby supporters from all of these places when you meet them in th...

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...

Dickson didn’t make Biggar miss a kick in front of the posts, didn’t make Adams give away a penalty in front of the posts, and didn’t make Costelow throw an intercept.

Gwenno

Actually I feel a weight lifting. We were never going to beat Ireland or NZ, and then another turgid 3/4 playoff. I can now have a beer and watch Ireland NZ with a pulse below 100.

Gwenno

Well played

Gwenno

It's a stupid comment from Gatland. The rules were changed instead of covid so you can't retrospectively say teams should have done better because it was never meant to be rankings after the WC. In any event his comments about Wales in 2015 are also stupid. Wales did fine in the 2011 WC but still e...

Gwenno

He is a hypocrite, but I’m fed up with all the whingeing about the draw. It’s unchangeable,so we’ve got to get on with it and just try and improve it next time. You can’t change the past, I’m a Celt, I should know that!

Adams covers centre
As well as he covers 15, yeah?
Indeed.

He's no North.

Adams at centre was part of Pivac’s not so successful management

You say that Argentina’s group was tough, and yet Fiji came second in their group, with only 11 points, eight points behind the winners, are expected to beat the winner of Argentina’s group?!

There is probably a name for the logical fallacy that says that something can’t happen in the future if it hasn’t already happened in the past. I’m referring to the argument that Ireland won’t get to the semis because they have never got beyond the quarters. I realise that nobody actually believes ...

How would the reshuffle go for loss of a centre?

Fiji losing to England is the only one I’m reasonably confident about, unless they can dig out the confidence from the summer.

Elbow Peyper for us again.

One group was won, 4 wins from 4, by a team World ranked 3rd in its group at the start of the tournament - how about that for an upset? It also resulted in a previous 2x RWC holder being sent home before the quarter finals, and Fiji qualifying for the quarter finals after a giant killing performance...

Gwenno

Will the narrative this week be that Fiji lost again to a team ranked below them because of bent refereeing?
