This is the thread

For me, It's Ronan O'Gara's Crusaders.

Buona sera fratello, very nice to see an Italian here.

Does anybody know if the Scarlets play their best team? I dunno anything about Welsh teams so asking.

Best available, minus a few guys that stayed in the Wales camp. The were definitely targeting that game to win

So here's the ultimate proof that /cric/ owns /rug/.

The Edgbaston Ashes. 4th August 2005. Pace bowler Glenn McGrath is fooling around before the match with his teammates, playing a bit of touch rugby before the warm-up.

The God of Cricket was not amused by this tomfoolery.

Brad Haddin throws a pass to McGrath, who, in his attempt to catch it, trod on a cricket ball. He turned his ankle and went to the ground in pain. He was ruled out for the entire second test

This, my friends, is what will happen to you if you dare post in BASED /cric/. You will be hobbling around on Canadian crutches like you have multiple sclerosis.

This is the post.

Business idea: 24 hours of continuous SR matches. Surely with teams in all corners of the world, it would be possible.

Are the Bulls good again or are the Stormers completely shit? Either way it means Cuck Town will suffer, which is good.

think the stormers may be hot garbage m8, but the Bulls looked good

I'd settle for Thursday night Super Rugby.

Need to make saffas play on their Friday, so our Sat, then we can move an Aus or NZ game to Thurs

the stormers short winger with dreads looked hot shit

Boot non-ANZACs. Combine NRC and M10 teams in M10 format but with 10 teams per league bracket instead of 7, and have it run from February through to October.

Nah Mitre10 Cup is based

GO JAGS
Tis our year

if only all your games were home games right?

Still doubtful if Quesada will make a good SH coach

travelling to new zealand for away games with a 13 hours jet lag aint easy

13 - 8 nice.

We did well last year while playing away

jaguares have the best kits in super rugby

Is the hagwhares just the Argie national team in black and orange jerseys?

Are other super rugby teams interested in adding argies to their squads? Does your media say anything about it? It seems to me that only yuros are interested in >us.
Cubelli was the only argie to play for another team since we joined Supr rugby.

about 95%, there are some players in the nt that play in europe

not enough money, french and british teams pay more than australian and south afrifan ones

Essentially yes but we don't know what's going to happen with this "only SR players can play for the pumas" clause.
We have world class players in Europe like Sanchez and Imhoff and it'd be a pity if they didn't play.

You cant pick against the Cumgayders because the ref is their 16th man every game

Tomas Lavanini

The Blues deserved another yellow card for the second penalty try. I dont know why the ref was so inconsistent with this. At least Marshy was happy I guess.

True, what a travesty.

This is the thread

Racing - Toulouse on in about 4 hours. Pretty much a rehearsal run for the Champions Cup quarters.

If I take painkillers before a rugby match am I going to morph into a rugby god who feels no pain

You'll morph into a championship-tier player that always takes the ball into contact, loses it in the ruck and has an absolute shambles of a hair cut

Thanks for the advice friend, gonna take so much painkillers next match

Make sure to only ever pass when it completely kills the momentum of your team therefor give you more opportunities to crash ball.

In fact, it could be anybody from a restrain group of people. But the "T'es une pipe" is more likely the Moscato signature.

Then you got Moscato justifying himself it wasn't him, on air.

Sorry lad' I squatted my brapper over the shitter but nothing squirted out.

superb quadpoost

Would SR be improved by games on Wed and Thu instead of the double headers?

Fucked up the stuff the Toulon owner said to Savea. He should just say fuck it and leave, he'd get a good contract in the UK no problem.

If he's been sacked, as the owner seems to think, there's gonna be a fairly hefty cheque being stroked I'd say.

Definitely. Or in addition to, if we replace the RSA teams with ANZAC ones.

How shit is Canada? How did they manage to lose to us?

They are fucking awful now. I've never seen a team drop so far so quickly.

You have no idea of what could happen here. Prud'hommes court and rugby aren't exactly making 1+1=2, but then again, I had the quasi-historical cases of Andrea Lo Cicero (although that case was special), Franck Tournaire, and Christian Califano against Toulouse a dozen of years back with their respective labor court cases - where all the above-mentionned people were paying damages to Toulouse.

As much as I found Boudjellal abhorrent, it's now understandable if you point out what the professional French rugby club culture has become - they became part of an INDUSTRY with their own objectives, risks and perils. Meaning drawing crowds if the team worthes shit and if the team worthes squat, you'll have to worry (in the case of Boudjellal, it's accusing anyone for his own failures because he's a paranoid fuck - you can judge that on the account of his 10 years or so tenure as the RCT prez).

Taking it on Savea is like the last resort for Boudjellal to save face because Toulon's season has been down the shitter and they just happened to lose against Agen, what supposed to be the second-to-last club of the championship and a direct opponent for the maintain/relegation game.

The leafs are psychologically cooked.

Blues were robbed.

For me, it’s La Rochelle

Lining-up Dupont and Ntamack as starters halves is rather ballsy.

Other things :
>Ramos starting as 15 and Falgoux newly called up and on the bench.
>Fickou FINALLY playing center
>Lauret back as a flanker
>Chat sub hooker
>Parra and Lopez both out.

Could work out, especially against a broken Scottish squad.

Man, as an outsider it seems so "wasteful" that there are two version of rugby

>all those white players

Lmao rugby is so cuck

Literally leftovers of good sportsmen

Does rugby even have any tacticts?

Just a blob of players in the middle of the pitch

>pica mole
lmao that literally means flaccid cock in PT

Which word is benis

pica which is a vulgar word. If you want to say penis then it's "penis"

It seems he wasn't that bad on his vis-à-vis with Mako Vunipola and I don't think he is really the first choice at the moment (It's Atonio in fact but that dude is injured). Plus there's a high chance he's coming back to Lyon since he's a loan.

And because actual good looseheads are rare :
- Stade Français - all foreigners in that post0
- Montpellier has nothing of the sort (I don't rate Brennan and I watched too few games from them to know if he played or not anyway).
- same for Clermont bar Falgoux on the bench
- Castres has people that were already tested and the other french player they have may as well play for Romania (Stroe, not that he's even great).
- Bordeaux as not a single French national in that post.
- Toulouse has Aldigheri and Baille (already tested 8 times or so but condition unknown)
- Pau has Clément Domingo (tested a bazillion times, proven injury-prone and is 34 years old).
- Toulon : TOPKEK ! (they have Chiocci but I'm fairly he's a tight head)
- La Rochelle has more fatasses on the same league as Atonio (Boughamni and Pelo).
- Racing 92 have Ben Arous and Gomes Sà, which I do suspect that one of them or both are injured. And it's not like they've been tested.

And then, you got the irrelevent shit with Agen, Perpignan and Grenoble so yeah, not much international caliber - it's Atonio first then Bamba and / or Aldegheri and I guarantee it's going to look like this in the RWC.

He only played 2 games this year (1 as a starter - 1 in T14, the other was a European Cup against Toulon as a sub), so that's hard to tell how he's doing. If he suffers the fate of the young players that struggle to get a place on the team, he can go play for a province but there's a few catches :
- he'll be ineligible for Ireland A (played for ths French u20s, sorry).
- he is a JIFF player, so who knows what inside his pro contract.
- his father Trevor, who knows if he'll help him or not to make this move.

I'd like the help of the Finn user if he has any advice / opinion about him.

I don't know. It's nearly impossible, just lamenting.

"pica" can also mean

Better than the sp*d that is Brennan.

Ps. Besides coastal Algeria was considered a part Metropolitan France back in the days, not a colony lel

On a serious note, Brennan wasn’t first choice prop in the U20 either, but Bamba was. He is young and hasn’t been fast-tracked to play like Bamba, I guess he is still judged as immature. They will give him some pro games this season and probably begin really using him next season.

I just hope they’d stop using Atonio. Falgoux is good choice me likey.

Who is the Crusaders #16 m8?

sam whitelocks cousin and codie taylors fluffer

Will Jordan should go to a different team

the ref

Thinking Landers might shock the Reds

He's only 20. Ennor is 21, and he was in the same position for the last 2 seasons, and now he's doing pretty good.

The crusaders have got Brett Cameron as well, who got into the all blacks last year, and he can't even get on the bench of the crusaders. Mitch Hunt would probably start anywhere else except the hurricanes. I think basically just being in the squad at all is good for your prospects and personal development.

In other teams you can be hyped too soon, and burn out, like Asafo Amua or just languish in mediocrity until you leave in your mid 20s, like Ben Lam or Fekitoa.

The referee.

Friendly reminder that if you don’t lock your picks immediately after making them you’re probably afraid of creaking noises in your house and investigate them with a torch.

This. Pete Samu wasn't even good enough for NRC and the Crusaders turned him into a Super Rugby champion and Wallaby.

No.

Your ultracringe post just strengthened my resolve.

No good Barrett, no Savea, and that little ginger shit starting at halfback should make it an easy win for the crusaders. But that doesn't change the fact that if you pick them you are a colossal faggot.

If you pick them then you are an optimistic good guy who believes in dreams

That was the joke m8s

Fletcher Smith was amazing for Waikato as well last year half won them the championship. But he's been repeatedly exposed at SR level over the last couple of years.

I investigate creaking noises because I live alone in a 100 year old house.

Abhijato: "Checked the score, then went to have a stroll around the house and appreciate nature. The entire activity could have taken no more than ten minutes. Once I felt relaxed, I opened Cricinfo, and oh my my - What exactly has happened? Here's to hoping the entire Sri Lankan team can extract something from Kusal's innings to reignite their spark as a team, and win the series with a group effort to prove all those who felt last match was a one-off wrong!"

James: "Mamma mia, here we go again! Oh my vishwa!"

$20 a month iirc. I'll be getting it on the condition there is on demand replays. What's the point other wise if I can get what I want via the high seas.
Spark is dropping a fair number of games and races ect on duke from the top of my memory

I make a pick then wait until the teams are named and re pick. I'll pick on at 10am tomorrow when I know and have looked at all the teams.

that other manuwatu halfback lad is pretty gud i wonder what happened to him

love me some rugby

Gotta go to some games. Get invested in your team. Get some mates interested.

I am wearing my North Sydney rugby jersey right now by way of coincidence. Their Shute Shield team is worth following, lovely oval too. One game a week gets televised on FTA TV.

As for Super Rugby, the more you watch the more you enjoy because you understand the history behind the teams and know the players and begin to form your own opinions. Chill in the thread tonight while we watch the Reds get thumped by the Landers, having a community to watch with helps too.

In christchurch & invercargill the first maori guy sitting on their porch who i asked sold me weed

How is it that crushedchurch is still fucked and they managed to get the Kaikoura road fixed inside 24 months? Seems the folk down there are either desperate to play the victim card, or too busy fucking each other over for that sweet sweet EQC money.

they literally got PTSD'd and had to move to auckland

driving a truck through the lewis pass is insane and nobody has to drive a truck through the christchurch cbd to operate the main freight line between the south and north

also tourism $$ kaikoura is a fucking ghost town without that road wheras the christchurch cbd is totally irellevant for tourism

fuck some QT’s in the zoo stand lads

I think Crushedchurch is still fucked because they keep getting useless immigrant tradies who are generally English and don't know how to work hard like us BSKs

Bryce Hegarty is a handsome man
And their scrum

Doesnt rugbypass work in your country?

Easy: non-kiwi posters and eternal butthurt

It's more that the Reds scrum is so powerful.

I was sad to see Hegarty leave the Tahs coz I really liked him, but he'll definitely get more play time at the Reds

>leaking 17 points to the reds in one half.

New Zealand rugby officially done.

I'm already signed up with Kayo, feels kind of a waste not to make use of it. And rugbypass's not offering any free trial period.

Christchurch was a bombsite before the earthquake anyway. Nobody could tell the difference.

How long are you in China for?

State of our defence

Reds need him far more than the Tahs

Was having a fat stinking Blues, howd the landers get the ball so close so fast?

Defence coach needs a sacking
Bad clearance kicking

That is one speedy moustache

The Reds actually hired a new defence coach this year, give him a chance. Last year most of their backs had a 50-60% tackle success rate.

That'll be a red, just watch

That was the most fantastic disallowed try in history

Kek what the FUUCK was that try

Just two weeks. It's no big deal to miss SR for this short period, but would be great if I can still watch the canes vs Crusaders tmr

Truthie

This. It's hard to win in Dunners and the Reds didn't get a warmup game. They'll close it out next time.

better performance than the other 3 teams last week
what sunk them was a lack of experience to learn from their mistakes and continuously kicking uncontestable balls to Smith and co.

snorters and shitters OUT

BASED /RUNY/ playing a bunch of Irish rejects and winning games

im sad about the reds loss to but theres no need for that

Will winning a grand slam, winning away at Ireland and Wales (the second and third ranked teams going into the tournament), be the greatest 5/6 nations achievement of all time? I think it just might be.

it’ll make your second consecutive devastating group stage exit at the RWC all the more hilarious

Attached: 47134466-F752-4E85-BEEE-0A782778C5E7.jpg (1260x800, 401K)

Have you seen France and Argentina play at all in the last 4 years? England will lose bravely to the All Cheats in the semis. Ireland will get their routine QF and be heading home afterwards

It’s the bare minimum Jones needs to make up for 2018

They’ll make it to the quarters. France are finished.

>bare minimum

I think 2016 and 2017 allowed for the blip in the first half of 2018. 3 championships in 4 and potentially 2 grand slams is exceptional. Ireland were declaring themselves #1 in the world after just 1 slam in which they weren't as impressive

Incorrect, Ireland started declaring themselves best in the world after beating every tier 1 nation in roughly a year. Something England has failed to replicate. And given England’s winning strategy seems to be to play against teams with no fullback, I’m not at all convinced that they’ll beat Wales.

He’s unironically a better player than Best but Best is a great captain.

He's never been consistent enough to be better than Best.
Best does a lot of work in rucks and defence that Cronin doesn't match.
A better athlete maybe.

We actually have pretty bad depth at hooker. There's no 60-70 minute alternative that's test standard atmo.

Anscombe is a 15, Cawdor is a kick returner for the Scarlets and Adams can play 15 as well. I imagine he'll have North up in the line since 4 of the other backs can field kicks. All of them are great counter-attackers too

He’s never in the pitch long enough to demonstrate it. Guy absolutely cleans up in the breakdown, as well as across the pitch, for Leinster.

Why is Furacões so slow in season start?

South Africa were robbed in that game. The pass for Kaino's try was forward.

In English, doc

Friday Games
>Ospreys vs Munster
Usual case of 2nd choice players with too little time on field to be predictable. Still, if Ulster beat Ospreys, Munster should too. Munster by 10.
>Glasgow vs Connacht
Shit Glasgow side. Okayish Connacht side but they really don’t travel. Glasgow by 3.
>Leinster vs Kings
Very green Leinster team but unlikely to fuck up against Kings. At least not enough to cost them. Leinster by 15.

Saturday Games
>Treviso vs Dragons
I hear there are so many Treviso players in the Italian set up that they had to borrow some Italian premiership players to make 23. Rare Dragons win. Dragons by 7
>Ulster vs Zebre
It’d be really funny if Ulster lost. Ulster by 12.
>Edinburgh vs Cardiff
Edinburgh looking the better Scottish club this season, but really shallow depth. Edinburgh by 3.

Sunday game
>Scarlets vs Cheetahs
Scarlets are looking embarrassing at the minute. They really should win this. Scarlets by 4.

Unironically think the Kings will keep the gap narrower than that.

Could well. Really depends on whether Leinster’s defence is actually awake. And I have no confidence in Barry Daly at fullback at all.
