Cool your jets, they are at least trying to tackle the Scot’s and put a few passes together. Probably not in the bottom 4 teams in this RWC :lol: They and Namibia are the worst and it's not close. Neither are realistically in the top 20 teams in the world currently. Exactly. Nice jerseys. And nice ...

Fact is Georgia is last (pardon - they got a bonus point). Zero victories - very lucky to snatch a point against Portugal and absolutely woeful against a sleeping Fijian side today. And you talk about their WC campaign into the easiest pool as something to be praised Italy still is pair with NZ - 1...

Romania are the poster boys for why RWC inclusion doesn't help T2/3 sides to level up. Truly shite. Cool your jets, they are at least trying to tackle the Scot’s and put a few passes together.

Georgia was awful and that is not an opinion That last kick :lol: when they could actually go for the win was the epitome of their match - and probably of their whole WC campaign I didn’t see something so stupid in the WC till then - not even yesterday night You don't hold Fiji to 0 in decent condi...

Except the fact I was not talking shit Georgia had been awful today - despite the fact you ( biased person) fail to recognise that Georgia weren't awful. They defended quite well and did some nice things. What's my supposed bias? You just wrote it Having a difference of opinion is now bias. Clown :...

Then why you replied “correct” to a poster who just said I could not say shit about? He didn't say you can't. He said you shouldn't, which is correct. Personally I'd keep my mouth shut talking shit about other teams in an attempt to talk up my own team after the pathetic performance Italy put up ye...

There's a weeks break after the pool stages as well holy shit.

The teams that need the rest the most got the least. Namibia played all 4 games before 40% of the field even played a 3rd.

Au contrarie I am totally entitled to say how crap was Georgia today, despite you defending them Couldn’t score a try Against a sleeping Fiji even if they tried all day long You're entitled to say whatever you want. We are also entitled to clown on you for it. Then why you replied “correct” to a po...

Tbf the Italians shouldn't have shit to say. Georgia play a tough game of Rugby and their program is heading in an upward direction. Correct, especially considering their last result against them. Georgia need some better coaching, though. Fitness has been a problem for them both in the RWC and in ...

Shouldn't much matter. Scoring less than 60 would be a disappointment even for a B team against this current version of Romania.

Not getting the BP does mean Fiji are pretty much forced to play a stronger team against Portugal which hurts them a little for the QF. They'd take the win though. Fiji now on 10. Aus on 6 and Portugal on 2. Aus get a non BP win against Portugal and Fiji through. If Portugal pull off the upset then...

WTF why would you not go for posts there?

Great open field tackle by Niniashvili on Droasese.

Had the wrong name before. Maktava took the first two kicks but it was the 11 Niniashvili with the last 2. He's by far Georgia's best player IMO.

goeagles

That is a monster kick from Matkava. Would have been good from another 10m back.

goeagles

So if Georgia upset Fiji does that let Australia back in the door? Basically not if Fiji take 5 points combined from this and the match against Portugal. The only way this wouldn't hold true would be if Georgia were to take exactly 9 points from this match and the match against Wales, in which case...

Fiji competing decently at the breakdown but they look half asleep otherwise.

Better start for Georgia.

Good maul, but I didn't see too much urgency in LP to defend it. All in all, a decent display by Chile, but they're still clearly a level below LP... No doubt about that. We need to bring back the Americas Rugby Championship. The last time it happened, 2019, Chile lost at home 71-8 to USA and 85-10...

Still not at the level they need to be to contend. Sloppy with lots of simple mistakes. Speed to the breakdown slow, support too slow often and support lines not great either for much of the game. Turned over too easily as well. Not sure about the gameplan. Aimless kicking without enough pressure. ...

Chileans playing with more heart than Italy last night They certainly deserved the TRY! Good maul, but I didn't see too much urgency in LP to defend it.

I assume a reference to what used be called the Parker Pen Shield at some point I assumed so but Spanish and Romanian clubs haven't played in the now Challenge Cup in awhile, at least pre-Covid. Georgian clubs never have. Georgian team Black Lion will be competing for the first time this season. I'...

because without any of it they are probably only a shade under Italy in a direct heads up. So deluded. Georgia and Portugal would go the same way as Italy, if not worse. Georgia and Portugal don't have the same amount of funding. Its a ridiculous argument. Georgian, Spanish and rumanian champion cl...

Would "recently" cover the last 8 years? Where they've finished last in the 6 Nations on every occasion? I think they are getting better. They beat Wales last year. Also they are doing well at age grade rugby. Their new coach will be good for them too. Their best ever finish in the Junior WC is 8th...

Agree with this. And Italy have some good young players coming through. Let's see where they are in 4 years.

That was absolutely horrific from Italy. Total capitulation.

Flip side of the argument for ring fencing, that few would invest in a club that could get relegated. Well, few will invest in a club that can't be promoted, either. English pro rugby is in a sorry state. The latter part isn't true. Make very clear criteria for promotion. Have the RFU work with any...

No they can not(take it easy). Fiji need to put everything they have into this one. If they were to suffer an upset loss could Australia back their way into the QFs or are they eliminated via the maths? They need more than just a Fiji loss to Georgia. Australia will be eliminated if Fiji get 5 poin...

Fiji versus Georgia . If you;re interested in seeing how the developing teams are doing I'm interested. If you want to look for someone to blame then the old unions need a look in the mirror along with Billy and his mates at WR for being so slow with developing the sport and continuing to put obsta...

Do they hate each other? There's not much love between Chile and Argentina. Over the past two centuries we've been at the edge of actual war a few times. It is quite telling, though, than Chileans are less liked around South America than Argentines, and that's quite something... Also is South Ameri...

Are these odds auto calculated by algorithms or is it manually done by humans? Would the 2019 draw due to typhoon be included? Not sure about the opening lines for rugby specifically but in general the books put up a line at lower betting limits and let sharper bettors move the line to where it sho...

They were quite a way off for Australia and Wales. That's not what I mean by fair. If you had Australia and Wales play again this weekend, you wouldn't make them a 34 point favorite just because Wales won by 34 last time. Fair is the median outcome if you played the game many times in parallel univ...

That’s were I would be - free kick only. Mark is per touch judge 15 in. Got to be back 10m. Encourage quick play. But no quick taps. That's too big an advantage for a marginal mistake. Some of the more recent trials have looked at ignoring the throw unless the other team competes, I think? I think ...

Scrums result in more penalties than lineouts. The purpose of scrums and lineouts are restarts. If the goal is to reduce scrum penalties then it would make more sense to make most current scrum penalties free kicks than remove the scrum option from a not straight lineout. It's not just that, lineou...
