I see World Rugby is covering itself in glory again today.




Insane that they've dropped his red for a yellow, ridiculous precedent set a few weeks out from the WC.

Doesn’t matter how many times you see it Farrell knew what he was doing, he moved his head and brought the shoulder straight through. Disgraceful decision turning the red back to yellow…..

Yet when a pacific Islander does it in a pool match they'll get a 6 month ban. Farrell refuses to learn from these as there is seldom a consequence for him. They've thrown the whole bunker system and referee community under the bus here, crazy decision.

Absolutely, but he’s box office for the WC that is and always has been the problem with him…..

The draw that England have got will get them a semi final at ease even with the average squad they have.

Backing Scotland as anything can happen in a tournament and they’re exciting.

You've started on the cans early!

Am not a massive rugby fan. Will watch it and have a bet for fun, hence backing Scotland.

If you've ever spoken to an All Black's fan, nobody wins a rugby world cup unless they do otherwise they lost the world cup. Hopefully that continues. Horrible fans.

No idea who'll win but it won't be the privileged public schoolboys this time. I'll be in touch with my Irish half this time.

Yep, was a bit miffed as to why they had to go through this new process of a yellow while reviewing. It was clear as day that it was a red with the first replay, I guess they had the opportunity to test it.

I would also say, my preference is Ford at 10 so any ban would have given us the opportunity to play Ford in the first game, which is arguably our hardest group game.

They simply had to appeal it.

im a south african, and the one half of the pool is drawn so stupidly.

not looking forward to that group of death

Would never normally cheer on the dull saffers, but having seen fatland appear in my feed complaining about rugby being too woke its delightful to see his wales team get pumped. I always thought he was a dull bellend so it good to have that confirmed
