What'd we do?
Thank fuck we're back to official RWC Winners time.
Shit posted about Breen, the Irish, BOD and Welsh until 500
You did 2 or 3 off topic posts mate
Ponga went to churchie. It's not really fair to call them rugby players a lot of the time though. Karmichael Hunt went to churchie as well, and his school fees were getting paid by the Broncos, which basically had a kid at churchie every year who would then get whisked in to the broncos if they were still a prospect at the end of their schooling. Ponga was on the same scholarship.
Ah yes congrats and kudos m80

Strong Kiwi team. Will have a much more dependable set piece and counter attacking with Dagg due to Ireland's proclivity towards garryowens.
Think Ireland only had one trick up their sleeve and they played it in Chicago. The ABs are very adaptable and Ireland are too structured and rely heavily on the set piece, can't see them having the same luck on those fronts.
If they wanted a chance of winning they'd have to play even better than they did in Chicago, which was their best performance in arguably 18-24 months.
>Poo Peelets
what went wrong?
Weakness?
Loosies.
Breakdown, especially turnovers at breakdown were a major problem in Shitcago.
kek
You feeling alright lad?
do we have a chance against scotland lads
Gonna be a close one m8, but I'm picking Scotland by 6.
Technically, I mean someone has to win.
Pumas are in theory better but they like to defy expectations and get at least two players red carded just to remind everyone that they have "latino passion" and can't be constrained by the stringent sportsmanship ''''''''''rules''''''''' of a sport that isn't futboll
damn
at least we are getting experience in the 4 nations
yeah i dunno why they get red carded so often.
The thing that shits me about los pumas is their tendency to work really well through multiple phases, just to fucking spill it on the tryline. Drives me fucking nuts.
Here's hoping there is no injury for either side and we see an awesome game of rugby union. And remember, due to your countries strong shared cultural roots, everyone will be a winner on the day. May the best team win!
Just went unconditional on a house lads.
Only Germany x Brazil cares this weekend
the thing that shits me about los pumas is that they dive as well. What is it with povertyball nations and fucking diving?
Which color should I get?
...
I NEED that pic
Picking Germany 7-1 tßh.
That's the attendance figure lad.
The grey one.
Grey is an extra special colour for the All Blacks, there was one match a while ago that was so amazing, so memorable, that they have actually refused to wear grey since in memory of that day.
If you should come upon any big strong kiwi men whilst wearing this, it is common courtesy to draw attention to the colour, remarking something to the effect of "Hey remember this colour mate?" to which he may feign indifference, allowing you to follow up with "2007, remember that shit? Phwoar what a crackerjack humdinger of a quarter final that was eh mate?"
This will ingratiate you into the folds of your new-found risk-averse AIGBs bandwagon as if you yourself were born screaming headfirst out of a brave christchurch lasses gaping chasm
Hope this helps
xoxo
Thanks for the tip pal :)

Is this what a full strength frog team look like these days? Could be interesting, wobblies clearly don't care about this one.
they're "resting players" so the french don't target and injure them which has been their MO for the past couple of years
Grey 2bh
Clearly. Was just wondering whether it'll be a token effort from Aus or a well contested game.
Australia will win by 13.
Cap this post or fight me irl.
France will miss Trinh Duc. I'm expecting a pretty average game.
Howya, my name is Davis O’Driscoll. What's the craic?
I’m a 27 year old Chicago Rugger (Rugby fan for all ye uneducated muppets). I watch and discuss all things Rugby on my tablet, and spend my days perfecting my knowledge and playing superior Six Nations rugby.
I train with my potato every day, this superior root vegetable can cut clean through the air because of the sound torpedo punt kick and spiral cut-out pass techniques, and is vastly superior to any other root vegetable on earth, especially kumara. I bought my first pair of Rugby "boots" two years ago, and I have been getting better every day.
I speak Gypsy fluently, both the Ulster and the Munster dialects as well as Gaelic, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about Ulster history and their British law, which I follow 100%.
When I get my Ireland visa, I am moving to Dublin to attend the prestigious Blackrock College to learn more about their fookin culture and their illustrious rivalry with Belvedere College, who can feck off. I hope I can earn a spot on the school's First XV!
I own several caravans, which I live in around town. I want to get used to living in them before I move to Ireland, so I can fit in easier. I bow to me shams and speak Gypsy as often as I can, but rarely does any eejit manage to respond.
Wish me luck in the Emerald Isle!
mate, why didn't you just ask me for that photo? I would have posted it for you. Silly kiwi.

It's only a game why you have to be mad.
Good luck and godspeed Davis O'driscoll

>All times are local
you're an idiot
Is betting on Australia here free money, or are these odds bait?
As an Aussie I feel you are the most qualified to tell us if Aussies will lose to the shitters France are
Straya are resting players, goal is on the grand slam this year even though >we barely scrapped past Scotland again. It's pretty much a coin flip since you never know what France will toss up either.
>you're an idiot
and why's that friendo?
>americ-
uhhh....
Do you think people who post on /rug/ are oracles?
local to what? the fuck are they playing?
Anyone here watch rugby?
haha le ebin aussie shitposting xDDDDDdd d00dbruh

>scrum half for USA is literally called Nate Augspurger
This saturday's starting French XV will feature a kiwi, a saffer and two fidjians, so they actually have a chance at not choking
state of french rugby desu
wish they weren't so shite now
It doesn't help that now there's expectations on them. For whatever reason, Ireland tend to perform much better when they're perceived as the underdog. You'd also have to assume that the ABs have been practicing specifically to counter this Irish side, shoring up their defensive game. By no means do I think it'll be a slaughter, but I'd wager the ABs will win by a couple of tries.
It's because our unfortunate history has given us a large chip on our shoulder. Conversely the more historically successful English can't refrain from declaring themselves to be the best team in the world whenever they string a couple of wins together.
that's just their typical delusions of grandeur tho
Imagine being an Irish rugby fan and never achieving anything noteworthy.
>now listen 'ere son, in my day we beat a second string All Blacks side in some literal where place in America, it was heralded as our greatest ever sporting achievement
we literally dominated your biggest racing festivals this year like we do every year, think that’s a bigger achievement
id be embarrassed if i was you son
imagine being a rugby fan that thinks the team's achievements are somehow theirs
Imagine being a rugby fan.

Sell out at the millennium lads. It'll be the biggest crowd Japan have ever played against.
WRU are beautiful when they're not jewing £70 for tickets.
Yeah, not really that they'd have to. They could easily put Slimani instead of Atonio, Huget and Camara instead of the coconut wingers and Dulin to replace Spedding... or Grosso, or Bonneval or Germain, or Guitoune or Buttin, or Palis I mean the list could go on forever
>le nippon kill wales meme
>"v" instead of "x"
Nah I can see us being shit but winning by a disappointing 15 points.
Christmas is coming, I hope you all have the appropriate /rug/ christmas themed memes.

These 2bh
Been watching since last weekend when a second-rate Irish team beat your "world champion" All Blacks 2bh.
This November international scheduling is retarded. We've got 6 tests within a few hours of each other. Why not have 3 of these games now? It's Friday night over there right? The fuck are they doing?
Lads there's no good sports on tonight.
I'm watching the fucking Scotland-Spain women's World Cup qualifier this is disgraceful.
Also it's in that Scottish language and I don't understand any of the commentary.
2 Aviva games starting soon for what it's worth.
Also the Snooker Irish open and the Grand Slam of Darts are on for what it's worth (nothing).
haha lads
>watching rugby
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
shit sport, no history.
>welsh football history
errr
Also how'd that world cup qualifier go against serbia lad?
Execute all namefags.
Hahaha yes my tall(ish) friend! What a terrible sport!
But for real though, where's showing the earlier games tomorrow
>implying I give a fuck about international football
Club before country la'
>6'3
>tall(ish)
lad give it a rest.
