>le made of glass man
RIP

Sexton or North?

Ngatai

He's gonna go Chris Benoit on his family in no time.

Based Paddy making a quality thread

Another Grand Slam it is then.

Can't wait to see this guy school Hogg on Saturday tßh

George 'Living On A Meme' North

What got you thinking about Tuilagi?

>George "early onset Parkinsons" North.
Unironically hope he retires soon for his own good.

Brian O'Driscoll got knocked out multiple times every single game

Who's the next Rugby Player to pick up too many concussions & be Daniel Bryan'd?

Faf De Klerk, his size and the way he plays.

I know. That started after the attempted murder in 2005. It's a miracle he never doyd.

bbc.co.uk/sport/scotland/38818082

Scotland's best 10 tries ever in the Six Nations.

They fucking suck

He looks like a pikey cronaldo

Your mum must be Scottish then, she was sucking up a storm last night, son.

That spindly-necked weakling Henshaw probably.

>Scotland's best 10 tries ever in the Six Nations.
>They fucking suck

Thats because Scotland have only ever scored 10 tries in the 6 Nations, Ever

Fuck off sam ya cruel bastard ya

Who the fuck tackles with a closed fist?

Ban the cunt for life, he knew what he was doing.

>all this smug Irish posting
We're going to lose on Saturday, aren't we?

...

Obviously.

wan't a tackle mate, straight up assault

wouldn't surprise me, scotland actually look good and since we are favourites we probably won't turn up, should be a good tight match in any event

Irish people don't deserve to live

it's not like there's a lot of material to pick from in the first place

>Kind of excited for U20 6N to see which players get the hype train going
>Realise you've become that creepy old guy who spends way too much time thinking about teen athletes and you're not even that old

Canes gonna have to step it up this year. Savea and Todd were way better in 2016 and he threw an intercept to Barrett which knocked them out of superugby

he is a tough fucker though

This

Sexton has never been the same since coming back from Racing

I dont know what they did to him over there but they didn't use any lube

comes a time in every young lads life when he sees a guy younger than him being the next 'stunning young talent'

then the next year theres a few more

then the year after a few more

then you get to the age where every single prospect is younger than you and you give up on your dream of being a pro. such is life

Ah Here

Not a chance

It's just not fair

N.. no!
DON'T UNMEME THE WIN YE EEJIT

If you think THAT's bad

Hogg's try against Ireland last year was excellent to be fair

will England choke?

yes or

of course

>since we are favourites

Who is actually calling Ireland favourites? Show them to me so I can laugh at them.

youll choke on my dick

>Irish trying to change the narrative towards hating the jocks
Newfag may fall for it but you're still the worst fucks. At least the English disappeared.

Nothing to say
And no one to say it to
Nothing has changed
You still got it all to do
Surely you know
The chance has gone by

Think of the boy with the stars in his eye
Longing to reach them but frightened to try
Sadly
You'd say
Someday
Someday

It was good, but you could tell Ireland didn't have a defence coach. Kicking to Hogg with three front rows beside each other in midfield and most of your backs committed to rucks? Literally worse than Italian tier.

>I'm actually Irish and I'm in/was in the same class as Robbie Henshaw in college.
Cunt's big.

Also sxc ;) xx

that's irrelevant to the question

Will Tom "Irish Lady" Brady choke?

>he didn't read the OP

From my limited knowledge of American Football I can see them losing

Atlanta are favourites, but if Pats are losing they'll just cheat. The NFC teams in general have poorer defences and this is making Falcons look better than they are.

Yes, the Packers result was impressive, but it can't be overstated just how bad Green Bay were, yet they still wound up with 21 points.. Pats meanwhile have absolutely walked the playoffs so far, but people are ignoring it because the Pats are always impressive.

I don't even like the Pats, but it's just formulaic at this point
>pats win lol
>belichick wins lol
>brady wins lol

Just did a steaming shit that would be a starting pick in any northern hemisphere countries XV lads.

When is the owl, and more importantly who is going to be on /heart/ watch to make sure /rug/ doesn't get blown away by the wave of autistic Americans opening a million threads all saying the same thing?

It's Monday and we (NZ) are on holiday, so the brave Kiwi lads will keep it up as usual.

>Northern Hemisphere rugby
>International rugby

*sighs*

I TRIED SO HARD

What's the occasion la? Celebrating a belated Australia Day?

celebrating the day the Crown signed a document to say "we wont eradicate you locals"

Ahh, saint cuckold's day.

its "we literally cant be bothered sending an army the whole way round the world" day

>we

Which position did you play in the invading British forces hohepa?

Hohepa is a disability service provider, catering for special needs children, and adults with an intellectual disability, where respect, personal development and caring go hand-in-hand.

>"we"
i wasn't there lad i was quoting some blokes that were
you might need to ease up on the turps your vision seems to be failing

youtube.com/watch?v=Mcwol5N7dqs

tried to drop an elite truthie on a yank but it bounced right off
must be the blubber

Hohepa is the kid from 6 period with Mr Grimsby which is the only funny thing to ever come out of NZ.

Hohepa is the son of the local Mayor and is an outstanding example of what a Maori could be when raised in a stable household

youtu.be/qxhIL4RqaDA

Everything I learned about respect for maoris I learned from Mr Grombley

who /brotown/ here?

yanks are so used to dropping bombs that truthbombs just bounce off of them

Bar a got $2.5m to go to Toulon lads for 2.5 years lads.

How long until the western suburbs of Sydney are a barren wasteland and the French Riviera is nothing but bogans?

>never played rugby
>gets paid 165,000 more per season than Sexton

Lads, I think it's time to get this started

>the absolute fucking state of NH rugby.

>typical american family
youtube.com/watch?v=XaPzN2gD3PQ

Where are their motorised carts?

>be Ben Barba
>get suspended from NRL several times for different reasons
>never even make the state rep side
>never even played rugby union
>is one of the highest paid players in rugby union history

How the FUCK do the league boys keep getting away with it?

Poorthern hemisphere cucks are a special breed of retarded. Thats how

Yawn wake me up when the based Blues are top of Super Rugby

>on literal comatose watch

>Poomunga Ltd

Are some of you lads doing this?

yeah lad ama

All me lad.

wasnt this guy once league's best player?

how many points are >we going to concede this year?

>rugby casual here

What position do you play in the Irish squad lad?

~200

He won the dally m one year which is for best player in the final. And was in the side that won last year but has been bumped around from team to team like crazy and has had behaviour issues - classic islander shit.

The interesting thing will be seeing the effect this has on kids. If you're a gun junior player and someone says to you "you can either play league, live in the western suburbs and make 200k per year for the rest of your career or you can move to France, get 100k now and make 1m in 5 years time while being a god and you can maybe come back to Australia at some point and play in the international team if you want" what would you say?

Trick question, a leaguie would say "can I have the 200k in cash? I want to play the pokies".

Kek

Fuck there are some thoroughly autistic kiwis on this board.

Example? I want to laugh at them

>The Sharks do not play a single team from New Zealand the entire fixture list.

I sincerely hate this new format lads, I know they usually beat us, but still, it's at least a spectacle to watch.

Fuck this format

blues v sharks is usually a goodie.

This format will kill super rugby imo

Heart attack time?
