The Rugby Thread

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Hard to watch that. Too many mistakes at crucial times.
8/8 QF defeats. The occasion just seemed to get to them

Oh Ireland, really thought they had that when it was 1 point in it and down to 14 men.
Barrett Belly was the difference in the end.

 

[Donegal Wolf]

Is a stupid fucking game anyway

 

[Tredman]

Ireland were much the better team. All blacks are just better at game management by fair or foul means.

That's it in a nutshell, could never get our noses in front.
Small margins but we were just slightly off all game.

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

With the possible red im glad they’ve used a bit of common sense nevertheless its an inconsistent call compared to other reds we’ve seen

Agreed, I don't think it was a yellow or Pen. He went low good tackle, just unfortunate that the guy moved a fraction early that meant a head collision by the tackler.

The tackler was not reckless nothing he could do to stop the contact.

Nice to see a ref actually applying common sense

...and my Betfair acount is empty again.
Blame me.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

The definitive try for NZ was just way too easy, there's the game right there.

Yep, small margins we were slightly off today, never normally give a try like that away.

Excellent game, I know that’s zero consolation to the Irish contingent on the forum, quality was stratosphere above this afternoon and what we’ll see from the Borthwick Bore Fest.

I'd love it if we win 3-0

I wish that England supporters would throw the Swing Low chant in the bin.

 

[Tredman]

Love Manu in full flow

Pretty professional display by England so far.
Fiji's kicking may cost them in the end.

Ffs, spoke too soon.

 

[Tredman]

Enjoyable match so far.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Wish football would adopt the hand bags rule and just let them play on.

 

[jd1981]

Oh dear, very much Wales vibes from yesterday

 

[Wolftone]

TFFT.
Thoroughly deserved win.

 

[sycophantia]

England did well not to buckle at the end when Fiji came on strong.
Glad England won but a shame Fiji are going home.
