Rugby World Cup 2023

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

One other thing I will add before I put this issue to rest:

What other team needs to perform a lame, pointless and ridiculous tradition before each match in order to delude themselves into thinking that not only are they unique, but they are also vastly superior to everyone else in every way?

The RS of course! The Haka is tantamount to singing that funeral dirge You'll Never Walk Alone before every home match. 'Look at us! We're special!'

Sigmund Freud would have a field day uncovering the psychology behind that mess!

Well, they are the most successful sporting team of all time aren't they? Highest win ratio by any side in any sport sitting around 80%?

 

[Rita_Poon]

I like the authority of this referee. His attitude and the respect he commands is very refreshing.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Tackle! What a ripper!!

 

[Rita_Poon]

And how quick and explanatory is this VAR....

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

That's incredible

 

[Wizard]

Big miss there. Looked a guaranteed try

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

He's not only tackled him but gone to knock the ball out of his hands at the same time, that's simply outstanding.

 

[Armaghtoffee]

Tackle of the World Cup in the first game.

 

[Tommy Chong]

He wouldn't need very long.

Lol... It's true.

But I reckon that a doctorate candidate trying to get his PhD in psychiatry should spend a month amongst kopite supporters.

Not only will he get enough material to pass his thesis summa cum laude, but he'll probably get published in a medical journal as well!

I agree with you there, but you should be able to achieve that without the circus side show.

To me, that shows a genuine lack of true character.

[Wizard]

Great move. Penaud is an absolute unit

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

France look goosed after that try like.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Good game, if this is the quality of the tournament full, it'll be the best there's ever seen.

Kicks as well. Quality.

 

[Rita_Poon]
