Rugby

Cruel finish. But…so little rugby proposed and so many faults offered by Les Tricolores...so longtime now with a so poor rugby...
That’s sad...
I give a shit about the final score. But wait and wait our famous french flair back on the field...
Fais chier...

Beautiful 6 nations day!! Ireland made the grand slam! At Twickenham!! Beautiful! Love it!
And the Tricolores! It was rugby time in the Wales! Loss at the score but…something is back maybe...[emoji869][emoji869]

I finally payed up for a Viasat subscription (because of Liverpool in the CL) and I had no idea I got 6 nations. I've had such a good day with the rugby. Great results all round, but the Wales-France game was so much fun. France's first try was beautiful. Quick hands close running, very French.

Well done England. Good victory over a combative Kiwi side with a penchant for the high tackle!

In 10mn starts Wales-Irland! It has to be a great moment! Everything is in place to get a great & intense game! Am i right @neph93

I’m pretty hyped up buddy. Scenes from the stadium now make me a bit wobbly. Thinking about the Arms Park in the late 70’s and 80’s when my Dad used to take me to the game.

[neph93]

Well that was quite a start…

Hmm..

World Cup time! almost…

Pretty staggering performance from Japan this morning beating the number one seeded team.. I suggest a commemorative Iron Heart product if things progress.

One more week, c’mon England!

Worst possible final for me. Impossible to support England, very reluctant to support S. Africa… should be a cracking game, regardless.

[Maynard Friedman]

You’ll enjoy the bronze medal match then 

[neph93]

I never engage with bronze medal matches, in any sport, and especially not when my team is involved. Bloody silly idea. As a sporting genius once said, “First is first, and second is nowhere”. QED third and fourth are utterly irrelevant.

Time to revive this thread as the world cup is just about to start. Living in the US, I bought a subscription to Peacock TV in order to watch the games. The games are playing at manageable hours for us in the Americas, which is awesome. I'll be rooting for France, which starts the tournament with a hard match versus New Zealand's All Blacks.

@JDelage it’s an incredible match to kickstart the tournament. They could meet again in final, although South Africa might have something to say about that unfortunately.

Not holding out much hope for the ‘home nations’.
Ireland (and Scotland) have it all to do on their side of the draw (along with France, NZ and SAf); England and Wales might stumble on to a reasonable outcome, but only through a lack of competitive opponents on their side (even Aus are seemingly out of form). They (England and Wales) could just as easily slip up against a so-called ‘lesser’ nation.
Heart says NZ - head says SAf.

@Nocturama I still can’t get my head round the draw being made 3 years ago. It’s so lopsided having Ireland, NZ, SA, France and Scotland in the same half.
