Hoping Fiji gets a 30 point lead before they get too tired to keep playing after the 60th minute.

Lol quick throw in. Australia playing like they have a collective concussion.

If Fiji could hang on to the ball they would have about 4 tries by now.

Australia took a quick throw in from pretty much their own try line and buggered it up. That should tell you something. I don't think Fiji are going to maintain this tempo though.

Well gently caress. I called it at 60 minutes when Fiji started collapsing and I was ten minutes off

With Major League Rugby in the States I'm hoping more Canadians team join up. For rugby to really built up we need a consistent league that brings the fans in, brings the money in for development, and grows the game.

I usually go for the underdogs and I love a good Cinderella sports story as much as the next guy, but I am a Boks fan for life so that is where my loyalties lie. Otherwise feeling like New Zealand is going to win due to 10 very good minutes of rugby and 70 minutes of mistakes, but will root for Ireland all the same. As for the England/Australia game I wish it would be possible for both teams to lose. Also I guess Wales is playing France so am expecting France to France it up good and either play like utter poo poo or utterly inspired.

Drinking game for every time de Klerk does a box kick and your 17 shots in. Seriously I was hoping someone would have broken his foot. I know it was strategy but the amount of times he box kicked it for no one to compete for kick was frustrating. Still good solid if boring win. Sorry it had to come at the expense of Japan

Kolbe has been excellent but he hardly received any of the ball against Japan so I think the Boks can go on without him for now. That being said I hope he is fit for the next round and does receive more ball. Also it looks like Faf was getting a bit raked through the coals on social media due to his box kicking every time he touched the ball. Looks like he is taking it in stride though, basically saying he understands why people were upset about it but that was their game plan and their game plan won them the game.

New Zealand can't have Gracas and his All Black erection ref every one of their games, and I like the idea that the team that had two tries disallowed was the one getting the benefit from the ref.

Well let's see if England come up with tactics against a team who has basically used the same tactic two games in a row. If they don't they deserve to lose.

Glad Kolbe is back but doubt he is going to see any ball in the game.

Vagabundo posted:So this will be the first time since the game's gone professional that all three SANZAR teams will be looking for new coaches at the end of their international season. Rassie is going to stay on as director of rugby operations or some such bullshit title. I don't know how much overseeing he will do with the new coach and game plans and such. Kind of hard to believe that he talk over the team just under 2 years ago thanks to AC's incompetency.

I just finished watching the game with my mates and family. Thank you pvr. Had a very restless night trying not to wake up and check the score but glad I held off on it so I could watch it with others. My brother was mouthing off against the boks before the game but was cheering the loudest when the tries came in. It was great to see that the boks changed their plan to a more attacking structure instead of kicking and absorbing. They really through England off in the first half, and England's nerves were showing. The first half was tense and I was making GBS threads bricks with England right at our try line but when they didn't score I figured the boks knew what they were doing. Second half was legendary and that Kolbe try capped it off beautifully. Hats off to England for a good campaign though, and for giving it their all in the final. So proud of the boks though. Every player was fully committed to the game and it was amazing to see. To cap it off Kolisi's speech after the game have me major feels and a year in my eye. I took at the good scotch after the game and it never tasted better. Bokke!

Just the previous World Cup we saw Cheslin Kolbe, a whopping 5 foot 7 and 70 kgs, make tackles like a lone cheetah trying to take down an elephant and no one screamed about player safety or how he shouldn't have been on the field. There are a lot of athletes in all kinds of sports that have something natural that gives them an advantage and no-one screams that they shouldn't take part due to an unfair advantage, but it is strange how people seem to zone in on it when it comes to players who are trans or intersex.

Tickets will be outrageously expensive but maybe I'll go see a game in Chicago or whatever. I actually support the idea if they are looking to grow the game but wonder how the games were be spread out and between where. It makes sense if they keep it all on one coast and region specific to a 3 cities. I kind of wish Canada would get the WC as we can spread it all over the country in 4 cities (that count)
