Rugby Union World Cup 2015

................could all see that it was in touch.

 

Vlad the Impaler! The Chelsea player who looked like Mulder! All the beggars on Buchanan Street!

 

aye looked good to me.

 

In touch ya slow cunt tommy bowe. Slow asleep cunt.

 

Slow asleep tommy bowe.

 

Keith Earls try, yeah great, but 5 mins ago Ireland got lucky in their own corner when the Romanians infringed just metres short of the Irish line.

 

Fairly shite first half from Ireland.

 

Ah ha! The Quare fella himself.

 

pretty easy in the end, this

 

Interesting to see the big improvement of the 'minnows' this time around. Once upon a time you'd expect Ireland to put about 100 points past sides like Romania, but that has roughly halved this time around.

MTF

 

I think i remember Gavin Hastings scoring 100 points in a world cup game once

*edit err, not quite: he scored 44. New Zealand scored 145 in that world cup, that'll be the other half-memory i was conflating with the first half memory

 

It was a very close game in the first half, Ireland were a couple of Romanian mistakes away from being in a much tighter affair.

As the Romanians tired, Ireland got their tail up, introduced their big names and its no coincidence that Ireland scored more after the binning than they did in the entire first half.

Next Italy....a far sterner test.

 

Ah'll have a point of whit Ye're having.

Two entertaining games there aftae the horror show o' Oz vs Uruguay.

MTF - Romania have a v prood rugby history... it wiz the fall o' Ceausescu that coincided wi' the fall o' Romania rugby's fortunes. Ba rights, Ah think Romania shouldae been aheid o' Italy in joining the 6 Nations, like.

 

Yeah i remember having an old 1991 world cup book that i pinched off my grampa as a kid and it spoke quite highly both of Romania and Argentina going into the tournament.

 

Romania came to Ireland in 1993 on a rain-soaked day and lost 25-0 but Ireland only scored 1 try.

Italy were fucking nowhere in 1993.

 

Italy are not a test, they're shit

 

Robshaw looks stupid noo because England failed to execute the lineoot strategy properly, which they'd been excellent in up until that point (As Irish rightly wrote), and Wales played one o' the best, agressive, defensive responses Ah've seen in a long, long time.

Aye, 3 points is the cool headed decision but, as well as Farrell wiz kicking, it wiz a tough kick and there wiz no guarantee he'd boot it o'er, like.

England went fer glory and the win and were kept oot ba a determined Welsh ootfit - England lost the game from the 50 minute mark and no just in the last few minutes imo.

 

Some pictures say a multitude of words.

This picture simply says the one that Harry is thinking:



'Cunt'.

 

::

 

Harry looks quite handsome with his beard

 

What about William's 'hair'? :dunno:

 

It's impossible tae argue wi' Ye as Ye are, on this occasion ::, 100% correct - it wiz the wrong call. Hooever, remember the Japan game?

 

Japan were on the cusp of the greatest upset of all time. They had nought to lose and everything to gain by taking the chance. England, supposed contenders to win the comp, needed three points to tie and take the group to respective games against Aus (knowing that Wales have loads of injuries and a dreadful record against Aus). Instead they tried to copy 'Japan' ::

I said it before and stand by it. The decision was imbecilic.

MTF

 

::

So, in this instance, Ye think it shouldae been a case o'; 'Turning Japanese, Ah think they're turning Japanese, Ah really dinnae think so!'?

 

Are you going to any of the games, Billeh?

 

Unfortunately, no. Ah had ma chance, along wi' everybodeh else, but didnae put ma money doon.

Me and Jimmeh are off tae see an NFL game at Wembley at the end o' next month, which should be a laugh.

 

Excellent. :bears:
