Rugby World Cup 2023

[Walken]

Look at the different nationalities in here and amicable attitude to disagreements and tribalism. The footie threads are utter crybabies compared to in here, they ruin our forum.

* Rugby League this doesn’t apply to you and I’ll close your thread first once I seize power.

Its always sad to see former comrades slide to the right, this feels like a dave rubin moment

England are horrendous with the ball.

For me there's a simple solution, everyone including the half backs are the size of Lomu these days, there's no space on the field so everyone resorts to playing like a battering ram which increases the chance of penalties at more breakdowns and slowing the game down, and also increases injury; take 1 forward away and 1 back away, or 1 back minimum, make it a 14 man or 13 man game.

I’m Welsh, so a bit biased maybe, but I think I’m on fairly safe ground here by saying a lot of fans of my age, be they English, Scottish or Irish, became fans of rugby watching the great Welsh sides of the 70’s. I think back to watching geniuses like Barry John ghosting through defences, well you just don’t see his like anymore. Everybody is built like a wardrobe these days, whatever position they play.

As it stands you'll never see another Shane Williams.

Discipline an issue. Want the extra man telling a little more it seems...

 

[Rita_Poon]

Kicking again? From here? What's the world record?

 

[Rita_Poon]

How's he hit that from there?

Another DG

 

[gonetomorrow]

Two drop goals!

 

[Armaghtoffee]

That’s incredible.

Respect lad.

I'd say about 70 odd metres at Ellis Park in South Africa off the top of my head, place is 1800m above sea level so you get a bit of a Brucey bonus when you kick!

 

[Rita_Poon]

nob'eads!

Smart from England this. They’ve been working on their strategy, rattling the Argentinians this.
