Rugby World Cup 2023

To whom?
Much that I, as a brit, do not support the British establishment a single iota and am embarrassed by my nation, it has to be said that Argentina showed zero interest in the islands at the time Britain claimed them. Claim on an unclaimed land is how all countries first get owned.

Argentina's interest only developed when oil was sniffed and then as a political opportunity to sabre rattle by their junta. Our war ready response was Maggie T's opportunism to gain votes for her failing government by banging the patriotism drum.

It's all cobblers. But they started it. Our harrier jump jet engineers ended it. Maradona cheated us out of a world Cup a few years later. We smash them at the English toff's game at every opportunity.

Ireland will probably deservedly win the cup.

It’s probably why points for a try was changed first to 4, then to 5.

...and here I am thinking it was always 4 until they switched it to 5...I guess I showed my age

One of those you look forward to watching, same for Lawes who is an insane athlete for a man of his size

He's not a million miles off Greg Inglis in terms of size. Just saying like, and I confess it's possible that Lawes "could" go the length of the field, brushing off several tacklers en route, he just hasn't done so yet.

If this is a red I give up. The Japanese player was as much to blame imo.

 

[Lineker]

I dont even think it is a penalty

 

[ChesterBlue]

Really looking forwards to Scotland v SA. On their day Scotland can cause real problems to the top teams

In bordeaux now, unbelievable atmosphere

I saw a clip in a square of the crowd singing “ Hen Wlad fy nhadau” , it looked fantastic , reminiscent of Japan four years ago with temperatures around 25deg, relaxed crowds in the sunshine, singing , drinking beer . The best of times , Enjoy!
