Rugby World Cup 2023

[Weebarra]

Saffas will be gutted they can't have that ref again, he's won them two games on the bounce.

Hopefully NZ can beat them, would be a travesty for the sport if this boring roided up side won the world cup twice on the spin.

Caps off this day.
I hope the Kiwis, can turn over SA.
SA , do slways have the skill to come back from behind and never accept defeat.

It should be a cracking final.

Strange game, thats the best I've seen England play in 4 or 5 years without them really looking like scoring a try.

If I was the head of the IRB I'd scrap scrum penalties. They are killing the game. 5 mins to set a scrum with maybe 2 resets. Marginal calls ALL THE TIME.

Nothing better than seeing English rugby fans in tears. Worst bunch of humans since English football fans.

That sort of game is why I've lost interest in rugby. Constant kicking , 2 teams who don't want to play rugby , and a game decided by subjective scrum penalties

The scrum is beyond boring and no one understands the rules. It shouldn't determine results.

I thought Ben O’Keeffe was evenly balanced and consistent , he was crap for both sides, had his own interpretations at times.

England played well , SA looked tired . The turning point was the SA bench it’s not often props win you a match but Nche turned the game when he came on winning penalties straight away and when Koch came on the other side they dominated the scrums winning the final penalty.

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

What? He also reffed them against France?

Yes, yes he did.

He absolutely was crap for both teams

Thought we would get battered, s Africa have amazing fortitude should be a good final

And guys like Kolisi and Etzebeth will be fresher for having been subbed off early! It should be fascinating though.

Somebody had to say it.

 

[longers]

Oh well, it's just grocks endlessly running into each other. ugliest sport ever along with aussie rules

*ducks for cover*

Nothing worse than that swing low song. It’s proper spirit of the blues level of cringe.

Swing low, sweet boeing 747, coming coming to carry me back to Engrand!

 

[Cool_Blue]

Yes, yes he did.

That’s ridiculous, surely should have been a French or Aussie ref, probably the latter, being English speaking
