Rugby World Cup Japan 2019

I have that same superstition about Wolves and Wales!

 

[Tony Towner]

I hope Wales and England lose then [emoji2]

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Last season England beat Ireland away and Wolves beat Everton away on the same day.

Out of here with your hokum

 

[Parkins left foot]

Pretty much the only cyber-esque nonsense superstition I have is that Wolves and England rugby team very rarely win on the same day..

On a brighter note I sat next to a 2015 world cup winning all black on a flight yesterday - he thought England were favourites. Even better he was a scrum half so still seat room too.

Surprised that this was not a Cyberism really

Out of here with your hokum

I know, I know, but it's the exception which proves the rule

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Hmmm. I remember the day well. Went to see Wolves at Hillsborough during the 2007 rugby World Cup. An excellent win - fucking hell even Eastwood and Seyi scored. And Wales lost to fucking Fiji.

 

[Banjo]

This year, Wales won the Grand Slam in the afternoon and then Wolves beat Man Utd in the FA Cup quarter final in the evening. That was a surreal day.

 

[Tredman]

Yes and England played like utter nobs against Scotland. Q.E.D.

 

[Tony Towner]

I do remember we lost away to Everton the day England won the World Cup. Radzinski tore us apart. I sat next to Robert Plant.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Given we won exactly 0 away games that season (didn't even beat Kidderminster in the FA Cup), I'm not sure there's any correlation to be drawn.

Scotland to be investigated by World Rugby on a misconduct charge for being whiny li'l bitches...

Nearly time for the quarter finals...

I think England will take this one but it should be a decent close match.

 

[Tredman]

I’m cacking it.

 

[Johnny75]

I’m cacking it.

It's been a poor start.

 

[Tredman]

It's been a poor start.

Other than the high tackle pretty solid. Looked like the tackle on slade was high to me before that too.

 

[Tredman]

Get in. England looking very dangerous with ball in hand.

 

[Johnny75]

Great 2 minutes.

 

[BillyDee]

Well that's settled the nerves a bit...

 

[Nando]

Glorious kick from Slade.
