So just in case you're unsure who is going to win I've use some 'advanced' AI to predict the results of the matches for us Japan vs Russia quote:The Winner Is... Erm ok, a bit non-committal that, taking that as a Japanese narrow win. Australia vs Fiji quote:The Winner Is: Fiji Went off on a bit of a tangent there but at least it picked a winner first. France vs Argentina quote:The Winner Is: Argentina New Zealand vs South Africa quote:The Winner Is: The New Zealanders. This is a match between two of the best teams in the world. New Zealand have won the World Cup and many other prestigious international competitions. If they can get past their South Africans they just might get a sniff of the title they all crave. Not sure about it's scoreline prediction there. There you go. All the results you need for tomorrow and Saturday.

CyberPingu posted:Cool spoilers bro, not all of us have time machines. It's currently obsessed with the USA winning every game, especially games they're not involved in. I'm going to say now that if my beloved Canada win more than 1 match I will ditch Grieg for Tyler as my avatar.

Madkal posted:Australia took a quick throw in from pretty much their own try line and buggered it up. That should tell you something. One of the commentators said it at half time, Australia are getting pulled into playing Fijis game.

The scrum reffing seems a bit weird so far. Argentina are getting an early shove on pretty regularly.

Vaders Jester posted:Just watching Jaguares getting pumped by super rugby sides certainly makes video analysis on Argentina much easier. Jaguares were really good this year, its just they're a good Super rugby side which is not the same as a good test side.

Ireland were just very good, shut down anything Scotland tried. I think Scotland improved as the game went on but just not accurate enough.

Tonga are just showing slight inexperience, they're turning Genge inside out in the scrum, there are penalties there for them.

bessantj posted:Thought England were fine to be honest, they didn't really get out of third gear and won at a canter with a BP. They need to reduce the handling and the penalties. Those are things which are not really related to the opposition. If they play that way against top tier opposition they'll get punished for it. This is more specific but I think England have an issue they don't have 2 top tier front rows, especially in the scrum, that could be an issue in a close game after 60 mins.

bessantj posted:Big but right call for the yellow card. Russia are not doing too badly. I think fitness will tell second half because they've already played a game but the Yellow should give them an opportunity to go into half time int he lead.

bessantj posted:He looks alright though, must have been fed vodka at birth. I mean he shrugged off the first one and the tackler knocked himself out on the second one. Maybe that's Russia's tactic, wait for Samoa to break themselves on the rock that is Artemyev's skull.

butros posted:How can you give a yellow for not wrapping when the reason for not wrapping is the tackler unintentionally rendered himself unconscious. The wrapping should have occurred, or at least attempted, before unconsciousness. They should just add that to the guidelines.

Time for everyone to get hype about the first really important game of the World Cup so far, Italy vs Canada! The Mighty Canucks are coming out with a full strength team just not in the positions you might imagine. With Flyhalf Parfrey playing Fullback and....Peter Nelson who played Fullback for Ulster playing at Flyhalf. They're also playing Gordon McRorie at Scrum half, who it entirely amateur which is an interesting choice as well. I'm sure it'll all be fine. 1. Buydens 2. Howard 3. Tierney 4. Keys 5. Larsen 6. Sheppard 7. Rumball 8. Ardron (c) 9. McRorie 10. Nelson 11. Van Der Merwe 12. Blevins 13. Lesage 14. Hassler 15. Parfrey If Van Der Merwe scores then he will join Jonah Lomu as the only player to score in 5 consecutive matches. Italy are ringing the changes a resting a lot of key players, letting Budd be the captain for this one. 1. Andrea Lovotti 2. Luca Bigi 3. Simone Ferrari 4. David Sisi 5. Dean Budd (capt.) 6. Sebastian Negri 7. Jake Polledri 8. Braam Steyn 9. Callum Braley 10. Tommaso Allan 11. Giulio Bisegni 12. Jayden Hayward 13. Michele Campagnaro 14. Tommaso Benvenuti 15. Matteo Minozzi

Tyma posted:The SA player isn't allowed to enter the channel like that, and so he isn't "in play". Kieran's entitled push or roll or stop the "dead player" from interfering with play, just as he would if the player was leaving a ruck, and then trying to re-enter from a blatantly offside position. This is entirely incorrect, a player has no right to interfere with any other player if they feel they are not in the right place. All Kieran is doing is preventing the SA player from getting into the right place. It's interference, tackling a player of the the ball or just plain trying to take his head off. Clear yellow at least. You cannot 'protect the active play' by tackling players not involved in it. If Du Toit illegally interfered with the active play it's for the referee to judge, not some rando just clothes lining him. Aramoro fucked around with this message at 08:14 on Sep 26, 2019 |

Ardron was fortunate there, promising from Canada but just absolutely no finishing at all. Maybe they can work out how to score at half time.

Canada gave it a shot but Italy put them to the sword in the end, presumeably they didn't play Parisse so not to taint his losing record.
