2019 Rugby World Cup

[speirmoor]

The RWC is two weeks away. Anyone going? Any predictions? South Africa and England are looking good no doubt about it. Ireland regained some composure but not quite the ticket yet. Irl/Sco game will tell a lot about that group with Japan in waiting to pick off the losers. Its going to be interesting.

The Typhoon seems to be the main player this weekend.

 

[Craig]

Yikes ! Not sounding good

The Typhoon has passed and the "Brave Blossoms" just beat Scotland. I've never really followed Rugby before, but I watched that game on TV and it was quite an intense match. Cj

It was some game. The Japanese are incredibly fit and dynamic in both attack and defense. Ireland were caught out and Scotland couldn't cope. Nice to see them in the mix. Roll on the weekend.

Thanks for keeping this going guys , much appreciated !

 

[Fast Eddie]

[Time Warp]

I guess we can thank the Irish supporters for firing up the Kiwi's.

The Irish supporters did their part. Unfortunately not the Irish team who were given a master class lesson by NZ today. Basically made it easier for them by 17 handling errors and box kicking the ball back when under pressure. You cant win against NZ playing like that. Ireland had a good run with Schmidt but time to move on, rebuild and rethink. Best of luck to all still left in the tournament.

Well Australia got knocked out last night, bit of a flogging from England.

 

[Fast Eddie]

A bit !?!

 

[gortnipper]

England will probably be involved in another flogging soon. But, not so sure that it will be a bit so pleasant.
