As a Force supporter who's terrible at following rugby news, this OP was the first I heard that Cummins isn't playing. I mean I had read the squad list but I just missed that he wasn't there. He didn't do much this season but still, what a shame.

Yeah. I convinced myself a membership was justified this season because there were glimmers of something improving last year but... yeah. I've left Perth now though so I don't have to make the call about renewing for next season.

That was an amazing passage of play. Great try.

Controlled downwards pressure with his chin.

This is some brutal play. Tongan ball handling is much better when they keep it close.

Just watched the Japan match delayed and have switched to the second half of France Italy, it's just not the same. Holy gently caress Japan though.

Yeah I was hoping for a bit more from the USA Samoa game. A few good plays especially that US try, but generally sloppy on both sides. Wales Uruguay is going to be a walkover right?

I'm beginning to think if they're going to be so quick with the not rolling away calls, especially when they're obviously trying and are pinned, that it should be a short arm or scrum or something. It just becomes guaranteed points for the big nations and not for the lower teams.

Is there any reason the official store doesn't have much merch? I need a new rugby ball and I wanted to pick one from one of the smaller teams but they only seem to be carried by weird resellers, the official store just has a few big teams.

Well that way the hosts would've been in it a bit longer.

Did anyone catch the refs justification for it? I couldn't hear properly at the pub.

Oh alright, I was hoping there was something extra there I missed. Thanks.

Is it time to bring up the penalty-distance-should-affect-points discussion again?

Three points from behind the halfway seems a bit much.

Good number of Force jerseys in the crowd. It'll be interesting if the commentators mention it.

As a southern hemisphere fan in Europe with access the the last month of Champions Cup, Gallagher Premiership, Pro 14 and the Premiership Cup, what's good to watch?

I don't know any of the teams, I just watched Ulster Munster which was okay but nothing too exciting. Are there any teams doing good running plays or anything different or interesting? Fiji/Japan level novelty would be great, but really it would just be nice to know who's furthest from English grinding hit-ups.
