RWC 2019 Week 1 Other Games match thread

[Bobby Sands]

God I hope the blossoms make the quarters.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Blade Thomson gets out there.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Scotland are being marauded.

 

[Dctarget]

what a boring match, Scotland should be wary of Japan

Four-try BP for Oirland 24-3 Scroteland.

 

[Heavyd]

Referees appear to be not enforcing the off side rule. All Blacks camped offside in Springboks backline all night, same for French in the Argies backline. Both results could have been different if standard offside penalties were awarded. As for poor old Fiji, refs cannot help by penalise the minnows whilst allowing shoulder charges to go unchecked.

Scots and the Irish sucking the life out of the WC.

 

[Show-n-go]

Ireland really showing no killer instinct, I know they are up by a decent amount but they really should be putting the foot on the throat of the Scottish right about now

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^ why? There's only one BP available & they've already got that in the bank.

For and against?

Practice for later games?

Winning mentality of always going 100%?

For the fucking fun of it?

What a drag. Feels like the match has been going for 3 hours. Scroteland have had the ball for about 8 hours and it just feels like there is no potential at all for anything to happen for them

Russell & Hogg are great players, I have no idea how the other blokes in the backline even got the call up to be honest.

Tonga hanging on vs Eng. Although only a matter of time before their horrific lack of conditioning becomes a factor. Tamiefuna looks like an asteroid that had a baby. #no_those_are_not_abs

 

[teach]

It would be so aweome to see Tonga get the win tonight.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Tamiefuna is strangely effective.

 

[teach]

But I am picking 50-3 for a final score.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Tamiefuna is strangely effective.

haha, I was thinking the same thing, he is so goddamn huge it is pretty much impossible to move him backwards

 

[Up the Guts]

Is this the same Tongan outfit that NZ put 90 on?

 

[zer0]

Based on my experiences of watching PI teams over the years, this seems to be the general rule.

 

[Up the Guts]

England dropping the ball every time they approach the line so as not to give away their secret moves. High IQ footy from mastermind Eddie Jones.
