Neither, this is par for the course. The last 20-30 will create the 30 point gap.

Where was that kicking last week you fucking melter

It's a midafternoon miracle m8

Paddy are you a Tahs man?

>not knowing paddy is Reds man
cazzie alert

i love shitting on foley as much as the next non-wallabiescoach but he did hit 5/6 last week.

me and reds year la are one and the same

but he missed the most important kick, going against his reputation as le iceman

not keeping up with the dreary personalities on rug doesn't make you a casual "mate"

>Pissrael Poolau

I think this was a good move for him ultimately and I'm happy he's performing

>two-dads
>putting a boomer on the field

>shedcunt
>a good personality
is this opposite day

foley is really bad

Foley is fine, he's exactly what Aussie teams need because he can actually kick and runs straight at the like without drifting. He's no world beater but he's the best we have.

Much better off a big fish in a small pond when you're a second tier kiwi first-five

Give Sunwolves your energy
\o/ AWOOOOO \o/

its probably more helpful for him as he gets to play more and is put into much more difficult situations

good crucible for him

This ref has been the best this season. Looking forward to seeing more of him.

grim

what would /rug/ be without shitting on sheddy

a kinder place

Penalty try and card needs to stop. Fucking ruining games.

Since moving out of his grim little shed and getting a job like normal people, he's become over-confident. Needs taking down a peg.

>tard charges in from the side

sure thing boer

the proud brave sunwolves are not allowed to beat the wallabies it does not fit sanzar's narrative

This

the Best ending we can hope for is another upset at the RWC, with Japan knocking the Cheikabies out in the quarters

Picking Japan to knock someone big out of the WC, hopefully England or Poopeelia

dear oh dear

Literally impossible, there's no way for Australia and Japan to meet before the semis at least.

dad is one hot take from kafer or martin to start watching this in silence

what the FUCK was that mckenzie KEK

Holy fuck McKenzie playing so desperate

Kafe is the only good thing about Fox coverage.

he looks like a caricature of a player who's a creative 10 but doesn't actually know how to be creative so he just tries lots of one handed passes and shit

amazing how each nz team has the same salary cap and yet such a disparity still exists

Scotland

*whips it forward along the ground at you*
except when he goes on those long spiels that add nothing to the commentary
nowhere near the worst though

Hate the queefs, love this result.

Thank God Ben O'Keeffe isnt reffing this one. Still remember when he refballed thr Crusaders back from a 30 point deficit against the tahs last year.

love a bit of Van Morrison during a penalty break

is this the same brumbies that got run over by the fucking rebels last week

Apparently it is

mckenzie is what, 1/4 for kicks tonight? or 2/5?

Can't remember lads, is there a system in place to punish teams for deliberately benching players in games that don't matter or are decided pretty much? similar to the NBA?

that was the most pathetic reffing display i’ve seen in a while
How no one saw moody heeeming beale and then collecting for the try is beyond me

why would you punish a team for that?

No

I still have nightmares about it. The worst display I've seen in the past couple of years, including the NZ France tests and the Aus Ireland tests.

BRUMBIES GET IN THERE

Chiefs are fucking finishe d

the NBA does it so that big televised games that end up being meaningless in the points table still have stars playing
like you cant deliberately rest your entire starting lineup if its a nothing game.
It's stupid as shit though cause it increases injury risk and its all for ratings.

was wondering if Super did it in regards to like, pulling your entire starting XV for bench players and reserves if you didnt care about the outcome of a match or there was a ton of travel involved

cheers mate good to know

its about what he normally does, he just hasnt been able to offset it with the occasional try finisher or a .500 kicking rate

All I do is win boys

Based Northcote lad

*passes forward to you along the ground*

Do they, dare I say it, go for 60?

The Brumbies have always been the classiest Auseie outfit. Scarcely a starting Wallaby among them and still 54 points on the second best Kiwi team in a non-contest. Can't wait until Pocock comes back.

SUPER RUGBY

RWC

thats so fucking retarded

Excellent post.

yeah it is, was just curious if SANZAR was that hungry for money or not

don't rugby players have to have their minutes managed anyway? and that would be at the discretion of the coach

i know that you have to boost ratings somehow (especially here in australia), but i would hope that they wouldn't stoop that low

american sports have so much riding on x player playing more than y minutes a game for ratings
some players dont come off at all during finals/playoffs so making sure theyre rested during regular season in prep is important. I know the cavaliers were fined for resting players, same for the knicks I think

Yeah, I think rugby is a lot more fluid about it and allows for a much better player management over a season.
things like world cup finals are different though I guess in regards to richie playing with a broken foot etc

I dont think you play RWC finals without the world's best player if he's willing.

Any other Welsh folk watching this in England?

Love the maximum butthurt here when we win.

yeah exactly, must win games/playoffs/finals are big exceptions, but during regular season in the NBA at least, theres punishments for not putting your best team forward, its really shitty considering how many games they play. NFL has one game a week so every game matters pretty much, MLB is a massive shitshow where you basically hope to god your pitchers make it to post season without tearing their shoulder and elbow tendons, and NHL is a laff.

Yeah it is. If the threat of losing a game isn’t enough to make you want to play your best team then either it’s like 1 week before finals or there are too many games in the season.

>tfw the big bash now has 60 games a season
more like the way too big bash amirite

yeah, NBA is 82 games a season for each team, 41 home, 41 away
the away games also generally alternate nightly with home games so players arent really given much rest inbetween, it really makes sense to want to rest key players, since they're such a big impact

English football has this as well. A bunch of lower league clubs got fined recently because they were intentionally fielding weakened teams in the lower league cup competition as a protest against PL youth sides being involved.

I've legitimately seen NBA analysts make the argument that's it's not fair for fans because they want to see the stars like that matters. The cringe example they gave was "What about that kid in Portland who is a cavs fan for lebron and the cavs only come to town once and they save up money to go see them and lebron doesn't play" as if some bandwagon little shit matters

>82 games a season
How long is a season? That's fucking ridiculous if its anything less than 2 years.

October to April I think

yeah its pretty stupid, like honestly player health is so important and gets shafted so often

english football seems like a massive marathon with so much injury risk

there's actually a funny storyline right now in field hockey with the Indian mens team maybe not making the olympics for the first time ever or something, cause they fielded second string teams at 'lesser' tournaments then lost the big ones they needed to win

6 months plus playoffs which take a month or more cause the teams play best of 5 or 7 series
if you want a marathon, baseball is around 160 games in regular with up to 180ish to win the world series, whole thing is april to maybe november

basketball isnt a contact sport so resting isnt anywhere near as important as rugby/nfl. soccer plays several games a week too

it may not be a contact sport but the frequency of play and stress they put on their legs is very real

Not that many. Cricket is a sport where you stand around all day waiting for something to do, and in t20 it's only a couple of hours instead of all day, but even the ever-increasing big bash only has 14 games per team over 2 months, or about 1 game every 4 days.

I think the arguments in England are to do with the "integrity of the sport" ie the oddsmakers will lose their shit if they get shafted by a big team resting players. It's so shitty for the lower league teams because they play more games and in more competitions than the PL sides, with shitter facilities, and they don't take a break during intl games

Any sport played at a professional level needs resting. Basketball is pretty intense and requires lots of sharp qu8ck movements that strain muscles and aren't easy for giganiggas to do. Some kid just blew his acl

France, do the world a solid and leave the EU. Then join the Commonwealth. Get USA to join too. Then Qatar, Bahrain, Oman and UAE. Then we can form the Commonwealth Economic Bloc, fuck Germany, China and Russia.

Wales is going to absolutely twat England because they've had two weeks to prepare to counter the English meme kick tactic. They'll have wingers dropping further back to help and England have no muscle or speed to be able to shake it up. I predict an easy 30+ point gap.

But UK is unitedstatian colony since 1945

little west brit cunt

You should be stripped of your voting rights based on how utterly delusional your understanding of global politics is.

Rugby fans here have actually had a pop at England for having a foreign manager. How fucking stupid can you actually get?

Having fun in Dublin on your mates stag weekend?

I mean you're definitely COPEing right now but I don't disagree with you

I have no idea how you came to that decision. France, in 1956, proposed joining with the UK as a Anglo-French Union. They also offered to join the Commonwealth. They have been interested in doing so occasionally. Commonwealth doesn't mean they're part of the country but it can be used to improve the world. As for the other ones, again, they're former colonies and can do it and Trump has also said he's up for discussing joining the Commonwealth. As for your comment on 'global politics', nothing could be further from the truth. The Commonwealth Economic Bloc has been proposed multiple times.

Not on a stag do I just cant stand the rugby crowd. You have to admit they are awful

you really think Wales are going to win by more than 30 points?
also giving the fullback the run around isn't a "meme tactic" whatever the fuck that means and you're also not giving the English defence credit

At least they know he's Australian. Those Scots who savagely attacked Sir Eddie last year were calling him an English cunt

Yes

Stop posting lad are you a mick trying to take the piss?

Go to South of France and they are actually based and redpilled

Pooes not looking too hot
Also how the fuck is it still the first half when the game started an hour ago

Yes. Because Wales are stronger and faster than England as a team. England has won by using their kicking skills (Not that Farrell has been hitting penalties very well) yet they have no god tier players who are pushing for try records. Bar May, who scored 3 last time, I don't see many 'the guy' players who can score. Perhaps they could all score, but I see no god tier player able to compare to Wales.

Desperate cope

Finally an England game on the BBC

I disagree mate. Wales are literally on a record streak and they're gonna want to break it today. So they're going to go full out. That, combined with it being England, will make them perform so much better. Remember when England won the Grand Slam a while back and Wales twatted them like 33-3 or some shit? We'll see anyway mate.

Wew blast from the past

england won the slam in 2016. they didn't win the slam in 2013 anyway (they lost to wales as you pointed out). what are you even talking about

The only crying will be if we don't get the bonus point. The win is basically guaranteed and the Grand Slam is on; only need Ireland.

On the rare occasions France get pumped up like this, they can be dangerous as fuck.
They look hungry today and Scotland are fucked.

it's weird they're the most /pol/ whilst their squad is the least native.

Haha yeah imagine never winning the 6N, haha would be funny haha

just wait for the 60th minute, all of them will be burnt at this point and we'll witness the unavoidable collapse

If France choke this then French rugby is dead because you've got the quality and fuck loads of quality coming through... but if you can't beat >SCOTLAND then you don't deserve to play and should set your sights on beating Georgia.

are you that depressed Frog from last 6N weekend? You said it'd be like 54-10 or some shit and it didn't get there.

Don't worry lads, it's just mindgames from Toonsie. We don't actually have all our players injured, he just wants to conceal Scotland's powerlevel until the rwc. Imagine prioritising an annual tournament instead of the highest accolade in world rugby.

I'm a boomer and I could witness the Irish glory of the 90's, and I can say with confidence that the worst Scotland will never as bad as that.

Someone make a new thread you bunch of woodenspooners

Winning against Scotland B at home will be the worst case scenario, the federation will capitalize on this mirage. We need deep reforms right now.

Depends on how malty it is.

Eh I'd say Japan is better than Georgia. Fiji about the same.

Add in a pack of crisps and you’re fine

£10 vs £10? Just put some money on Wales with the bookies and make guaranteed money

Yeah, got lots of nutrients. Basically bread in liquid form

reckon wales will lead early and for a decent portion of the game but england will win in the end

It'll be close lad. I don't think either country feels entirely confident. Wales because England look stronger than they have for years and England because there's a good chance Wales will be a different team at home.

>only 10 pounds
You have no balls. Of course Ingurland will make the slam.

Wales will twat England by 30 points. You're fucked mate.

Forget the taff, glorious England will bring it home

>kick the ball out of your own ruck whilst clearing out
>get a penalty for it
Thanks ref

Make a new thread you haggis/frog eating degenerates.

Wales will win for the following reasons.

1. England's momentum got destroyed by the two week break
2. England's tactics so far has relied heavily on kicking; Wales would be retarded NOT to practice for that
3. Wales are stronger and faster than England, not by much, but enough
4. Wales are at Cardiff
5. Wales are currently on a record equalling win streak; they beat England and they've beaten the record
6. Wales will have recovered from the poor performances but winning matches
7. England has some injuries (Wales does too but not as bad, England's wing is pretty dented)

Gotta love pure brute rugby tho. You don't see that shit any more, really. Only meme nations can do it.
