Thank you

Reminder that he is a good Muslim and has done nothing wrong

It's in an unusual place, wouldn't say it's dying though.
Growing in new countries, hitting some turbulent patches in some established rugby countries. On ballance the situation seems ok.

Dude is the ultimate glory hunting faggot. Shows up for the big events and tournaments then fucks off.

fuck canterbury to be honest

Problema?

Love Cricket.

$unni Bill William$ is the greatest All Black, indeed, greatest New Zealand sportsman of all time.

ma$hallah lad

based Johnny C is coming back lads
and i am NOT talking about the rugby player

His best look desu.

Yahoo! Rugby!

"The Lions Song" is some seriously gay shit. It's literally about holding hands with other men lol.

abc.net.au/news/2017-04-12/australian-sport-stretch-it-until-it-snaps/8435526

Such a shame that there are too many sports. I have a solution though. Let's introduce a women's competition for every sport so then there are even more teams.

Surely that will fix the problem

I just can't be optimistic about Union in Australia until we go full domestic, or trans-Tasman.

NRL and AFL will be expanding to 18 and 20 teams by 2020 while aus Union will be lucky to have 3 teams.

Being on the bench of a NRL or AFL team pays better than being a fringe Wallaby.

Rygbu.

just had a quick rugby lads

Based.

just had nasty crusaders lads

ew
double flushed I take it?

/force/ desu

ARU can fuck off if they cull >us. Next test match they bring here should either have no attendance or everyone supporting the opposition.

Force are garbage.

but they're our garbage.

Finally got my pc back
Jags!

rebels deserve the cut far more to be frank

Waratahs and act deserve it more. Nsw destroyed the sport and the ACT have been stagnant for years despite them being the strongest team in Aus and their only competition being the Raiders.

Brumbies absolutely
>permanently on the brink of bankruptcy
>not producing high level talent
>basically a dumping ground for NSW
>Canberra market is smaller than fucking Newcastle

the fact that either 4.8m population Melbourne or 2.1m population Perth is going to lose a franchise over 400k population Canberra is just laughable.

This

If Melbourne loses its franchise I am going to be livid.

would not mind if the bulls get relegated tbqh

Suggestion: make a league called Okay Rugby (name pending) and put the rejected teams + pacific island teams + north america if they want in.

Scotland

>force
>steal all of Queensland's players, never do anything of note

[citation needed]

*farts loudly*
So that's the power of my butthole

Whoa

Based shitspouter

I fucking hate the Stormers lads

Literally name 4 good players not from Queensland.

Guess what? The Stormers hate you too.

So this is the power of gatlandball

Another New Zealand rugby player found guilty. This time it's for gang rape.

What is wrong with you mongs?

>Loose forward Grice played for Waikato in the national provincial championship from 2011 to 2013 before heading to France in 2014.

Literally no one should be shocked by this.

another one for the french gulag to be frank

>another southern hemisphere rugby player tainted by French rugby club
Sounds right

Where is Britbro who posts the Kiwi genetics images, I want to see one with both Kiwi and Irish genetics, in commemoration of both that New Zealand and Irish rugby player gang raping a Frenchie

>subhuman coloured trying to "banter with the lads"
KEK

exterminate yourself

>making a post with more than 20 words
Didn't want to read a thesis.

How's the sales for that EP looking Daniel?

:(

>subhuman coloured trying to "banter with the lads"
KEK

exterminate yourself

Which poomunity will subhuman coloured scuttle off to next? I'm betting /hoc/

/afl/

Reminder one south african is worth a thousand kiwis

My dad was mentioning that.

there's talk on just about all forums to boycott the match, and if not then wear black t shirts for the ABs. If they dump the Force theyre going to get a crowd like they did for that terrible Australia vs aArgentina at the Gold Coast match

*fires up welsh proxy*

>spending your month's worth of stolen money on proxies

Imagine...

kek, Ivan monitors both /nrl/ AND /afl/ for even the smallest sighting of the subhuman coloured

There is absolutely zero chance subhuman coloured would set foot in /nrl/

He doesn't have the guts

you surely mean a kiwi

who /pingers/ here?

This man is about to reach an impressive career milestone of 300 caps for his team this weekend.
Say something nice to him.

melbourne's """market""" is dominated by AFL. literally 10 out of the 18 AFL teams are from victoria. add to that NRL's melbourne storm... WHY THE FUCK would you throw a successful australian team just to try your luck in an over saturated area where no one gives a shit about rugby?

fuck that. let brumbies and force stay. throw rebels, and the dozens of rugby fans in victoria could always drive to canberrra.

ugly specimen

...

>tfw no Copa Libertadores de América equivalent for rugby

The more I read about SBW the more I hate the cunt.
>Oh I'm muslim did I mention that guys? I don't think I did, my religion that I discovered a few years ago is so important to me

how is it different to euan murray deciding not to play on sundays?

He sounds like a half-white mutt LARPing as a third worldist (not the commie kind, the racialist kind)

There was huge backlash after Clive Woodward comissioned it, they didnt even play it at all 3 tests because the fans and player didn't like it.

Woodward is probably one of the most overrated coaches in rugby and that lions tour proved it.

Read Henson's autobiography and he says Woodward has very little input as a coach.

Kelly Brown is retiring at the end of the season.

Kid who got bullied at school because of his stammer went on to captain Scotland and get 64 caps. Overcame his stammer through learning to sing.

youtube.com/watch?v=Fh8va4YoX4g

This is him singing the Baywatch theme after a Saracens win.

good lad desu
>Brown is also briefly mentioned on Pottermore, in an excerpt written by J.K. Rowling for the website, suggesting that he is in fact a squib – a wizard-born with no magical powers – masquerading as a muggle, alongside Stuart Hogg and Jim Hamilton
Imagine.

You really need to gtfo

its really weird how people with stutters can manage to sing fine most of the time

How can we stop Waikato rugby players from raping lads?

From my understanding it's a mental issue rather than a physical one, so when you enter autopilot and just recreate a sound - or song - it's natural for them. The issue comes with formulating words under pressure, which i get because load of people make more speech errors under pressure.

here's another of him singing youtu.be/dFMkWpQHPR4?t=139

Slightly perturbed the OP wasn't Easter-themed tßh lads. Here are the crappy shoops I made last year.

...

Hope Sup Forums gets flooded with Easterposting again tbqh

what was that about?

Easter?

>tfw now convinced every sottish fan on here is secretly a wizard

Wizards are hardly secret on here m8

watch from 2:48, we are all wizards

youtu.be/VUNelE1IoJU?t=168

sorry lad didnt even think about easter to be honest

>already 15 articles about SBW today
FUCK OFF

Could have just let the sponsors know beforehand so they could release a statement about it, but nah fuck that, maximum headlines for $BW

So has any progress been made to understand the process that is being undertaken by the ARU to decide who is getting the hook?

It looks here as if it is the Cheetahs and Kings. Absolutely certain that the King's are gone, still some uncertainty for the Cheetahs, but if you base it on merit (which they really should) looks like the Cheetahs will fall.

How long did it take you to figure that onr out Sherlock?

NRL, prepare your anus

Clive Woodward is such a smug, obnoxious little cunt.

Sir Clive to you

reminder rugby poonion is a terrible sport for fat baby boomers called keith who like dadcore bands like pink floyd, it's pretty much just a big muscle show centered around steroids for sad olders pub goers to try to act macho over and project because they're dad bullied them all those years agos , nowhere near as nuanced and cerebral as test cricket

pesäpallo > baseball > cricket

No it's not you potato.

who /left early/ here lads
