1987 RWC final. We didn't have a TV but rented one during the RWC. It was the first rugby game I ever watched on TV, despite already playing.

Demilich

You don't. Either rugby as a culture switches back to enjoying the sport and not obsessing about every tiny little ref decision, or it continues it's descent into a sports culture that is mostly about crying like little bitches.

It'll be the latter.

You are 100pct entitled to discuss about how a game got managed by a referee. That’s part of the game - an important one, and it has nothing to do about moaning. This is just a stupid excuse used to cut off discussions. That time Italy applied the no ruck tactics - the one which sent England, Heske...

It is, but in many (not all) of the post game rants, it's actually deserved. It's not. Rugby law book is far too complicated and too open to interpretation to have clear cut and consistent decisions when exposed to the multiple camera angles and analysis of modern sport. Almost every phase of play ...

Just enjoy the rugby, I think most people on here don't. +1 Every single game is followed by a ref whinge. It's so tedious.

That box kick by Faf was even more moronic than Aaron Smith's - at least the ABs were up by 4. France were almost within drop goal/penalty range when they got that back.

Fark off you fed up me Talking shit; offending; not offering an once of explanations about why in your opinion Curry was not carded In my opinion he was not yellow carded because the referee didn't adjudge it worthy of a yellow card. You ref-blaming shit-cvnt. You still here? I said you go fark off...

Demilich

There is a thread which was open expressly to talks about those things So I asked for opinions about why the referee did not give at least yellow to Curry for that da heroes no arm tackle Am I wrong tho ask for that? No it's not. It's a thread specifcally about how pathetic it is that referee decis...

You're the epitome of a ref-blaming shit-cvnt. Right down to the disingenuous 'not saying it was the reason for the result' disclaimer. You're correct. It's alright to let out a WTF but this madness about corrupt refs is football bollox- today the 'neutrals' think a Frenchman favoured England. Insa...

Been saying it for years - rugby fans are ref-blaming shit-cvnts. It's so ingrained in the culture now that it is easily one of the main themes of the sport. It's not endearing or positive in anyway - just makes us look like a sport full of tedious, whinging, cry baby bores, with no real concept of...

The All blacks in a few pressers last week said there are a few Irish players who enjoy sledging the opposition during matches. Sexton is definitely one of them. As is O’Mahoney. Porter seemed to be whingeing all night (don’t know why - he was boring in and driving sideways all night). Of course, t...

Bangles 245/9. Craps 248/2. (41 overs) I don't get how/why the NRR keeps going down, even though they are winning by quite big margins. It's the average runs you score per over, minus the average runs you concede per over (if you get bowled out then your score is calculated against the full 50 over...

Purely for the sake of conversation. If Whitelock went on to win two more games where would that place him amongst the AB greats? He's already there mate. I know, I’m asking where though? Is #2 the ceiling? Yes. Even if we had won in 2019 and he picked up a 4th this year, he would still be #2.

Demilich

There was no point throughout the match where I felt confident, except briefly when they showed that Irish replacement with braids about to come on, and I immediately thought "ain't no way we're losing a RWC QF to a team with a bloke that looks like fat-cornrows-era Axl Rose". Then I quickly tried t...

The All Blacks are getting rid of Fozzy and gaining Razor - that is likely to outweigh the negatives of any player retirements.

Demilich

I gotta agree with the decision to hoof it back to the Irish at the end there. How many actual phases did they run through there? I was stunned we didn’t give a penalty. It was mad - if there had been space, then dinking it into the corner would have been passable (though still pretty stupid), but ...

Demilich

Smith sin-binning probably won the game for NZ. It disrupted Fozzy's "roll the subs for the sake of rolling the subs" strategy and meant no Christie. 10 minutes with 14 is less of a disadvantage than that.

Demilich

The All Blacks repeatedly kicking the ball at the end of the game when in Irish territory shows that (despite the win) we're f**king morons under Fozzy. Should have been us doing what Ireland was doing at the end. ABs were trying to pin them in their own half. forcing to do long range attacks. Good...

Disliking both dogs and cats is fine. Disliking dogs, but liking cats makes you an absolute wrong'un however.

I picked Makita as they also have a really good outdoor tools range. Good quality vs not stupidly expensive :thumbup: Electric brushcutters are such lovely tools to use. Had a Dewalt one and it blew up 3 times (well it and it's 2 replacements), and eventually just got a refund. Got an Ego one after...

Biggest regret from the RWC 2011 was not getting Wales for the final. Confident the ABs would haves pantsed them.

Don't buy Ryobi - they are trash. From what I have heard, this is a common but unfair judgement. I know it's trendy to shit on Ryobi. But I suspect it maybe be partly fuelled by American "buy made in the USA" type thinking (which is fair enough, if you're American - although they are now owned by t...

I watched about 10 minutes of NFL today as it was on ITV, straight after rugby. Otherwise I have no interest in it. It seems there's 1 min of action then 5mins of stoppage. So boring to watch. Not to mention the ridiculous clothing. I don't see the appeal of this sport. Rugby is infinitely better t...

This is how to lose your job as a college football coach:

Miami, ranked 17 and undefeated, only need to take a knee to win the game. Instead they run it, fumble and the opposition use the remaining 25 seconds to drive in a touchdown.

Reffing and judging in Aussie boxing is some of the most criminal in the world of boxing - and it's a seriously low bar...

Hannants corner should be ashamed of themselves as well.

Early red card for Ireland would help (be a bonus if it was dubious/controversial).

Moral victory for Samoa.

But genuine defeat for kovana.

What's not to like?

Thought maybe they'd 'got' a last minute clandestine package from Spain.

France and Ireland both have a reasonable chance to replicate the 2015 ABs and beat every other semi-finalist on the way to the title (first hurdle would need one of them to win their QF and the other to lose).
