t. phil kearns

Forgot to mention that none of the Argentinian players are Nick Phipps.

jags are just better tbqh
Argentina are probably better than the Wobblies now too

Doubtful, a team with 5 current Wallabies starting plus Nick Phipps stayed in the contest against the Pumas minus Sanchez. That said, the addition of Cheika into the equation gives them pretty good odds.

Jags need to lose to curb the predictably sudden and over-confident argie posting.

they can keep doing well so long as they
a) beat the crusaders in the super rugby semi final
b) prevent england from making it out of the pool
c) beat wales in the quarter

Don't see any of these happening except possibly b) on a long shot

They'll face the Crusaders in the grand final though.

yeah I meant to type final, crusaders get to beat the hurrs in the semi again

>jags get some results
>argie flags come out of the woodwork after not being seen for months
almost as cazzie as brit flags

They'll beat England but England will still get out of the pools because France is so shit, and then they'll get walloped by Wales while Argentina gets walloped by the Wallabies.

gg

Feeling like this game is going to be terrifying boring.

can physically feel the bloo bottling this

i feel sorry for the fan in attendance

All the South African games are boring

Why doesn't 2011 count?

Horrid game
Aus derby might unironically be better

Home ground advantage. And before you say it, 1995 doesn't count either.

Red card.

i would count 2011 more than 2015

>home ground advantage
by that logic, Quade should've played well in 2011

nobody looked even close to capable of beating the AB’s in 2015
aus were kinda there by default

2011 was kino. Richie's broken foot. French heart. Beaver. The tbag move.

i mean he contributed a lot more in 2011. in 2015 he was kind of just... there
like most of the old guys

>french heart
i felt so bad for Dusautoir. they would've made a movie about him if France won

We won that game by 1 point and France held the ball for the majority of the second half not to mention all the decisions went their way in the second 40 too. We also missed 8 points off the boot. France had their opportunities too but couldn't capitalise.
In the quarter final against Argentina we didn't score a try until around 64 minutes in.
Against Australia we only scored 20 points. They were all hard fought matches.

Tartare sauce and malt vinegar?

is that a small hot dog or have you already had a bite?

Just lemon juice and black pepper. Not really a vinegar man.

Those chips looks pretty good 2bh.

It's the perspective. It's actually a vertical photo that 4shit flipped for me. It was a solid hot dog.

Surprisingly good for the Chinese local. Haven't been there for ages

i love chinese run fish and chip shops

No wonder coconuts are so fat. That lot was $7

My experience they're hit or miss. This one was total garbage last time I went. Much better tonight. Different chinks perhaps? Who knows.

i had the same realisation the first time i visited Otara. tons of big portion food and ridiculously cheap

I fry a couple hundred grams of diced chicken breast from aldi and mix it with some noodles every weekend for work lunches and just put whatever sauce on I'm feeling (really into this spicy Durban curry at the moment), whole thing costs less than a dollar a meal.

The one in Avondale was ridiculous. Massive trays of greasy Chinese for $20. Equally massive coconut kids carrying out armloads while the parents wait in the Estima.

You have cooking facilities? Pretty flash shed mate.

Could probably use a BBQ and a kettle but it's easier this way.

Shit taste.

Kidding of course. How's the Newcastle mansion mate. Missus well?

That's part of the charm.

She's looking good since we've both been dieting, and so am I. Thanks to whoever I was talking to the other week, I've shed a few kilos while upping my exercise with the 12-6. Haven't missed a day.

I'd rather spend that extra money and go to a white chippy once every few months and get those golden crunchy chips and tender fish with crispy batter. They always look so much cleaner too.

That was me. Glad to help m8

Same at mine except manky old Chinese broad serving

My best local is the Thai actually. Snapper and chips is $10 and primo.

The closest one to me is Gooks and they hire teens to work on busy days. Then there's one up the end of the main road that's white and only open 3 - 4 days a week. Then across the railway lines there's one at a mini putt/driving range and they get their fish from the fish market in the city.

The Grey Lynn one is Korean and they're pretty good

>tfw have yet to trace the ancestry of my local fish and chip shop

Cricket is not a sport.

Should be a good match, if the Paki’s win we might be in for a spot of bother this tournament.

Going for the Rebels because them winning would benefit Australia but won't be sad if the Tahs pull it off.

Meakss on the bench to fit Toomua in will be the Rebels' downfall. Meakes does all the nitty gritty work in the backline and covers for Cooper's biggest disasters.

Rebels couldn't afford the ref so it's pretty much over.

YELLOW CARD PENALTY TRY

What the actual fuck? If it's a shoulder charge by the last defender to prevent a try how the fuck is it not a penalty try? Paul Willams is literally a fucking retard.

how is there not a penalty or knock on in that mess?

Just can Rangi honestly

Williams is so fucking shit

Don’t trust any ref that Kearns rates.

Just take AAC and Foley to the cup already.

This is an absolutely bullshit try, the Tahs knocked it on at the lineout. Meanwhile a shoulder charge to prevent a try was sanctioned only with a penalty.

Reminder Williams will ref at the RWC

O'Keeffe is still worse. To be fair though, that should have been a red card.

I thought you could get 4channel but not Yea Forums?

you’re right actually, i got mixed up. I can post on 4channel on 4G but not on my home internet. My bad

Home internet isn't a problem coz you can just DNS change. And non-Yea Forums/nel sites aren't problems because you can just proxy up. That's why Vodafone is the best. Sadly, there is no solution for Yea Forums on 4G.

I don’t go on Yea Forums cause there’s nothing there that interests me, and the simple DNS change really exposes how much boomers run this country kek
I bet they still think they have Piratebay completely inaccessible too

I dont use Yea Forums much either except /pol/ but not regularly, only during happenings so I could also live with the situation if I was with Vodafone. Or if I could buy a pass other than with meme currencies.

Kinda hope Fifita gets some time out so that Evans can play 6, rate him much more.

shame. I'm enjoying myself tßb

It’s a decent game. We only really have a few NH regulars and I don’t think any of them are English at the minute.

So is Folau just gone from rugby forever now? Shame, he was probably the best fullback in the world.

Rugby is better than soccer, I've always known this. I like both sports. I can't explain easily why soccer is so much more popular, but that popularity in itself does male it more appealing to people and also more enjoyable in the sense that everyone else is watching it too. Probably it's the fault of rugby league for being professional rugby but not being capable of running itself properly enough to spread the game internationally. Now rugby union is professional since 1995 and is more popular now in most of the places where it was already enjoying popularity but hasn't really spread into any new territory either, and I think it's because of the inherent elitism of the sport overall.
It's an interesting subject.

He's gone from being employed by the Australian rugby union. Unless he's been banned by the irfu and I've not heard that.
Did hear a rumour though that he'll be allowed to play in the rugby league in Australia next year. And I agree, he's a fantastic player.

NFL meme player?

Nope but I might watch one of those compressed matches on ESPN with all the useless/boring parts edited out.
Thanks anyways.

Possibly but it's really hard to get into the NFL if the NFL wasn't already looking for you. See how Valentine Holmes goes at the jets this season, if he does well then rugby players will become something the nfl scouts start looking at. Folau is maybe a bit too old though, and there's also the requirements in gridiron to actually know the sport and the systems within.

If you can get tickets, yeah. Atmosphere is generally fantastic.

And you should give the MLR a look. Quality of game varies but it’s improving.

Tickets are annoying to get. I looked into it and you have to sign up and hope you get picked. I will try to get some from re sellers I think. I think I will just buy a ticket to the 1st playoff match.

Best of luck. I went to 2 games in the 2015 WC and they were fantastic. Even if you can’t get in to a game. Hit up one of the fan zones at least.

Should be able to get into one but if not I'll take that advice. Thanks.

Hard to see otherwise. Toulouse will take the final.
