Match preview
this is the day we lose the record lads
Go Jags!
This Argie anthem started great but then just turned into Kom Susser Tod
Unironically think it might happen. Rested too many players.
how many bongs till game time?
>he fell for the ab roller meme
>Instagram flask
You need to be lined up a shot, honestly
>the Argentina fans like caged animals
kek
about 30 binglets, however long a haka takes
that's quite a dildo you have there
How many photos can that thermos fit?
BLEH
lol barrett looks so white bread doing the haka
'Mon the 'tina
I believe
That was a shit haka tttt
who else here has a cauliflower ear? had both fixed but one came back and i was just " ah fuck it"
nah this is a good side
I like it
The Haka is an obsolete remnant of toxic masculinity
got a cup of mate, mate?
>Jags
BASED GUS
Argentina are the Whitest team in the Southern Hemisphere
What's your favourite haka lads?
Mines the one where they get the unfair advantage.
pretty sure that catcher was offside though
Got it for 5 USD and I do a lot of core exercises at the gym.
I turned it around so it'd trigger someone lmoa. It's a corporate gift from Facebook, why would I reject it?
don't the lady all blacks do it too though?
ABs BTFO!
For me, it's the one that make foreign cazzies seethe
>tackle player in air
>penalty
fuck this faggot sport
GAMON BLACK
80-0 score if they keep at this pace
looking good, just some nerves
It's a sexist to suggest that women can't be toxically masculine too
People say Lomu wouldn't be effective against modern defences but looking at his stats he's still fucking huge.
6'5 and 125kgs
For comparison, George North is only 109kgs and I can guarantee North can't do 100m in 10.5 seconds.
I'm trying to trigger Phil Kearns, he surely lurks /rug/
Smith's too slow now
BUFFelli
get out your 3 times tables lads
losing off basic errors so far
2p19
6'3" 90kg i.e. me, am I elite
I would have dominated back in 1984
Great kick, mon the boys
I fucking hate scrums
found the cazz lads
knock on, that's it start choking it away you deigo bastards
ME OH MY I HAVE ENJOYED THAT YES BOY
that was a knock down not a knock on, blatant ref ball
>fifita
these attacking kicks are grim
Dubs and Pumas try
enjoy not being a WC all black Fifita
Is Bazza still considered the best NZ 10 or has Mozza overtaken him?
1994 is literally my size
kek
Lol Cane is so shit.
both are shit
and color
>this flag
>this topic
big boy
GOTTEM
Forgive him, Niggers took his farm and now he resorts to working on a Botswana mine to pay the bills.
I would ragdoll 1974
COME ON BOYS
woah cool it with the racist slurs mate
lmao who cares about this sport anyways
Scotland
Can't believe we were that close and now they score.
watch the Pumas give up now and Argies here disappear
zero heart
go back to your soccer thread m8
I'm still here.
Do you even have a licence to be here?
LAUMAPE
>personal
Shitty service dear god
gg Argie
Piss off imma shitpost till the end
Laumapes had a couple of brain fades early but hes looking very good, hungry for action
try defeating us without using foreign players, you cheating scum
what's the point of national teams if you are gonna use guys from fiji and tonga
based
I bet you don't lol
dear oh dear
a lot of them are just of fijian or tongan descent but were born and/or raised in NZ
I'll be here with my bitter mate, mate, until the bitter end.
I am confident that this is the day, lads.
kys faggot
don't fucking answer for us to some fucking cazz you utter cunt
lot of them but not all of them, we don't cheat in any sport, we only use argentine lads
hungry for a big mac maybe, fat cunt
fuck off what's your problem you fuckwit
How many Maoris are on the NZ team? Are all the non-White players Fijian/Tongan/Samoan?
already more interesting than the south africa-australia game
hell steam through the English midfield like a Big Mack mate
fuck off back to /pol/ maybe, sick of this boring racial shit on rug and cric
Is reid injured or is he out on form?
Kicking? Realy? You guys scared?
Cane desperately trying to come close to saveas level of carrying, lol pathetic
Calm down Martin
The Kiwis are quite irate and are being nasty
A bunch of the Crusaders are being rested after the SR final
We own the Islands. We financially support them, aid them in crisis, import/export. They pay us back with rugby players.
all me, now fuck off
smith, alb, hemopo and maybe more idk
poosaders having a rest
brenton tarrant did nothing wrong, yet you treat him like a criminal
What's new.....
most players in our nt also played the superrugby final
I heard they are just trying out players for the wc, not actually resting crusaders players
For the sake of the women of New Zealand, I really hope that the ABs win.
This, tee bee aytch. A bit fucked off at how often the thread derails into shitting on about skin colour
Higher quality tist metch than Aus vs SA
we just dont need a full team to beat you in BA is all. Simple.
it's tiresome af
Has Ben Smith lost his pace?
Enjoy not being a WC all black Jordie Barrett
probably because the Jags is your NT.
Jordie Barrett is so shit
Lavini fucks up 3 times in the space of one minute, must be some sort of record that
A bit of both. Hansen started his camp the week before the finals so the Crusaders obviously weren’t available, but it also creates an obvious opportunity to try out new combinations.
cheeky try before HT should do it. then floodies.
they should've started Messi at halfback
both. 2 birds 1 stone
scrum it
arbizu, contepomi, pichot, now THESE were real players
he's like 60kg m8
Hugo Porta 2bh but you've probably never heard of him.
is ben smith... dare I say... done?
why wouldn't I? he's the second most famous player here after pichot
Fifita again
The obsession with size in modern rugby is pathetic
i met hugo porta and colin meads on the same day. collin gave me a silver fern lapel pin
>coles still doing that waiting on the wing meme even though he's shit now
dunno, just reading your posts, you sound like a zoomer cazz
It’s a contact sport you fuckin cretin
Wtf is a cazz?
Pine tree was an awesome bloke RIP
Isn't sevu reece that guy who gave his partner the old south island special?
here we named the porta potty after hugo
Look in a mirror and find out
check the mirror
oh nononono cazztato btfo
I actually loled Haha classic
It's all so tiresome.
Fucking scum whistling at the kicker even though they ask you not to at the stadium
SLOTS IT
Most brain dead pealty I've seen in a long long time
I got hold off by a bunch of boomers for talking loudly during a kick at Eden park lol
he was a down to earth humble nice guy. no airs what so ever about him. sean fitzpatrick is an utter cunt though
dunno
think it means your primary social life isnt a rugby thread on a dedicated anime website
RETTALICK
that'll do.
>me before and after the match
poo time.
KAMATE KAMATE
PUPU PUPU
silence for the kicker is the worst meme ever, ultimate cucks do that shit
>muh respect
cringe
bye lads was a nice match
if you watch the game and don't disappear from rug, you'll have my respect.
Why are the pumas always shit unless they are against our boys ffs
Fucking Sanchez do you think you can make a long pass against the All Blacks just like that
BASED INTERCEPTING AVO GOD
theres still the 2nd half mate
Post some halftime milipilis
well Ireland us usually dogshit unless against NZ 2bh
cuz your shit lmao
She's an abortera bro
>implying dead silence isn't much more unnerving for kickers than a bunch of whistling kids
GOTTEM
no joke though, Argentina will make semis again, Ireland won't.
Feels like the All Blacks running game is more measured so far. The last few games they played in the last year their attack was frantic like they're trying to rush things.
She can abort my son after I get her pregnant with my very own penis if you know what I mean
a lot of kickers say they prefer a buzz of noise. maybe not airhorns though
>wanting basic civil rights is something bad
lmao, you should move to Bangladesh
I remember some French player saying he found the absolute silence at Thomond Park really unnerving
based Imhoff, absolute unit
yeah
ironically if connacht tear up his contract over it he never would have made the all blacks
Argie bros. i can buy uruguayan citizenship for cheap. its like $6000. How is Uruguay? Looking at places to flee when shtf here, (it already has but when it really hits the fan)
Tuning in from /HOC/ lads
Are these their final teams for Japan or are there some players still on professional teams?
Also RIP Canada in the pool with SA and Fiji
yeah, not too stoked about him in the black 2bh. fucking coward.
That was probably beauxis, and in fairness he found tying his laces unnerving
why would you buy any latin american citizenship? just visit and if you like it just stay there and you can legally become a citizen, it's not the usa
Go to Perth lad, you'll feel like the apartheid never ended
This one attended my high school
NZ is playing a bit of a secondary side, not a full B team, but quite a few incumbent players missing today. this is the Argie starting team afaik
Connacht are fucking idiots for doing that
Lodon Irish have the right mentality when it comes to signing players
thot posting should be banned
Genuinely chuckled
not sure what milipilis is but Asian gf
Wonder if Trinh-Duc poster is still around
he's Fijian born too so I'm against him playing for NZ anyway. We don't need these guys.
Not their final squad strictly speaking, but unless injury strikes or shit performance, I won't expect any surprise promotion/demotion. The club games season's finished, so they don't have anyone still being held back from being selected
Ah ok, cheers
What is the difference between this team and the team that lost to Ireland recently
About tree fiddy
Thats the IRFU pulling that shit, not Connacht, they fucked over Ulster too by making them get rid of Paddy Jackson and were is Ulster now? fucking nowhere, Where is Paddy Jackson? Making a shit load of money now at London Irish
Fuck the IRFjew
>didn't poo
FUCK
All Blacks fielded pretty much a full strength team against the Irish last year, so you're looking at a lighter version of what you saw last November
A way to refer to posh girls basically, like this plain cunt who plays the makelele
>needing a last minute try to beat a team that finished 2nd last in the 6 Nations
lol we beat ye last time ergo we're better than ye
what he said
Thanks kiwibro. You should check out your hockey team, they’re on the up and up
ah.
we've had some of them at school. very hot
Lol. I just sat down to drop but couldn't get her going.
keep chirping, we'll see you in the WC mate
>where is Ulster
Making the semis of the Pro14 and quarters of the CC, which is more than they managed in a while with Paddy Jackson.
Can't see the pumas pulling this one back lads
pleb tier. i bet she doesnt have a penis anymore
im not a kiwi so i dont chirp
Should have beaten leainter in that quarter too, stock cube dropping that ball over the line did them in
I might, are they still doing the haka on the ice rink?
>stock cube dropping that ball over the line did them in
He came off the tryline and was at fault for one of Leinsters trys too
kiwis dont chirp either, they go bleh and win WCs
Unironically Dave Kearney played a blinder and saved Leinster’s collective asses
Ok you are a dirty hippie, quite fragile sine yoy get so defensive. My point was that milipilis are not aborteras
the crowd? suddenly not so passionate and animated.
Gotta be honest I have no idea what to make of this lavinini guy
Is his only appeal literally just his size
FUCK THE HAKA.
It's so cringe. Fuck the anthem too. And fuck the hue.
Game on
hey you got a try
given away braindead penalties and starting fights too
The hail mary bomb meme triumphs again
Fucking hot.
I wish I could pump and dump one of these but I'm pretty sure I'd have nothing to talk about with them except for TrAveLLinG
hmm
>Beating Husbendo in the air
Based tbf
and fuck you all the way back to buttfuck china you yellow bastard
Some finish that
Jordie Barrett is garbage, the experiment has failed.
He improved a lot in 2018/9, I don't recall him getting sin binned.
he's done.
Barretts and being unable to kick
name a more iconic duo
>2019
>the absolute hovel that is barrettsville
At least I don't turn on my team when times get tough you spineless faggot.
friendship with Angus Gardner ended
This. He better not even make it to the bench in the RWC
What happened to Julian Savea?
I know he "lost form", but how did he go from best winger in the world to never even making the squad?
NH flags and not lifting the Webb Ellis
He's McKenzie tier now. For every good thing he does he also does something wrong. Liability.
he got old mate.
No coconut can resist the allure of KFC
they both need io jo on the heap. We've got plenty of back 3 talent and memek at 10 is a joke
Being a fat cunt. Getting fat during the off season and turning up unfit.
Yeah, it’s pretty based watching them intimidate on the ice
he's 28?
wish the argies would batter sevu reece
dont ever reply to me again pls.
LFWRLABM running into backs
yep. and hes a coconut winger. shortest career expectancy in rugby.
Make me you fuckin Judas
>shit scared of shitspouter
kek
GAMON LOS PUMA DIABLO
toot toot
Fucking Nocon... so close aaa
fucking penalty fest against NZ wow
Sanchez has had a great game lads
le zero impact Sevu Reece man
Gracias.
literally Whomopo
this sport looks intense
how is their cardio so good at their size? are these guys roiders?
t. caz
Who would you Kiwi lads have as your first choice back 3 for the WC?
man this pace
Tell the rest of the lads that /rug/ is backing them for a famous victory.
Holy shit so many unforced errors
Makes for a good game
they train a lot m8.
long season too. many of these guys started matches in Feb.
Leotardo
11. Rieko
14. Nanai or Naholo
15. Smith
Non.
2 big strong coconuts and Folau desu
Folau should go play in Ireland
I love ardies energy and detrmination in contact
Imagine one country fielding known domestic abusers while their ngighbour permabans their best player for posting about gays. world gone mad.
I hear Railway Union need a cover for fullback
Brave lads
While I'm here, what happened to Milner-Skudder?
I would fucking love in leinster signed him, but if paddy jackson and sevu reece aren't allowed to play in the country there is literally no way folau would ever be accepted, unfortunatley
If I was lodon Irish though I'd be all over him
Talk shit get hit.
C'mon Argentina!
that's the spirit
Beat his girlfriend to death in a drunken rage. Got sentenced to 22 years without parole.
what do London Oirish play in?
Reece flinging the ball about as recklessly as his missus
Meth.
Imagine the smell haha.
if only he was as cold and focused on the field as he is when he's beating women.
English premiereship
just got promoted back into the premiership for this coming year
Leinster don’t need him. They have enough meme shitters that can’t throw a pass in their back 3 pool already
Reminder Sam Cane is an All Black.
>the snorethern hemisphere
Many wifebeaters in English prem?
sounds more like northern tbf
Argies, explain where in your country rugger is popular.
farts are grim.
We have no set in stone full back when old man kearney retires
Larmour is better on the wing
Folau would be perfect
No. They all go to League.
>nowhere
>we don't even care
etc.
How tf does japan have a good rugby team? And why? Other Asian countries prefer basketball or racket sports
I thought irish would be ok with a bit of gays burn in hell kind of thing
Reminder that Matt Todd should be starting
sumo
Not openly publisised but they have plenty of morally questionable blokes floating around
knock on or try?
Just give it to Dave. Or
the game-losing New Zealand
Out
don't think that was a try
foot in touch before pass imo
IN TOUCH
heh unluggy uce
sh-shut up
BASED WEBER ON
Nah we stopped listening to that shite when we realised the guys saying it were all kiddie fiddlers
Based second best Barrett saving the game
nz getting shook up worse than christchurch
who's that bearded hooker cazz FUCK wtf
SWING LOOOWWWW
It does though
oh no you are shit aren't you
We're always so close and then we fuck up
It's all so tiresome
marshie getting buttblasted in commentary
wheres the yellow Angus Cardner?
kiwis BTFO and our league isn't even professional OHNONONO NO
That argentina 13 is a divil for a knock on
devious ABs investing in disruptive goalline technology to make the argies knock-on in scoring positions.
it's not over by any means.
An absolute hound for the unforced error
I'm talking about knock-ons within 10m of the in-goal and that sort of stuff
well, let's be honest for a second. your NT literally plays in the world's top professional league.
yeah, pretty standard for Arg.
offside a mile wtf ref
who the shit is Enor
Argentina doesn't play in the Mitre 10 Cup lad what are you on about
Errorgentina kek
Birds flying above the field is kino.
Yeah but we didn't have too many of those during this season's SR so I had my hopes up.
Anyoen else getting absolutely fucking triggered by all these birds
GOTTME well done m8
waheeeeyyyyy
isn't he the donkey from winnie the pooh
it's a nerves thing, it happens on attack because they're little brains are all saying OH MY GOD IT'S HAPPENING IM GONNA SCORE THE WINNING TRY AGAINST EL NIGRO DIABLO ZEALANDIA and they fucking blow it. the reason NZ win is a cold, calm grinding attack even when behind.
An up and under knocking one or two onto the grass would be nice.
THAT FUCKING HANDLING ERROR WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY IT WOULD'VE BEEN A TRY
I'm sure the Argies will round them up and have a bbq after the game
>Errorgentina
the WC-losing New Zealand
sometimes you just have to laugh
comedy gold ngl
The RC-losing but WC-winning New Zealand
Lads imagine if your team were putting in this arentinian performance, admit you'd be seething.
I know I would be
2015 wahey
not too happy with the NZ performance 2bh
COME ON LADS
N-Never in doubt lads
this'll go forever
VAMos VAMOS VAMOS
I wanna cry
lmao gay sport
are rugby players tougher than nfl players? or that's a myth?
gg Argentina.
unlucky lads.
Lol OHNONONO
we are lucklets
>tougher
What the fuck does that even mean? It's a vague term.
different sport, I think NFL players are more violent.
different bodies, american football players are bigger (fatter) and rugby players can play for more than 5 consecutive minutes
It's up for debate but they are very different sports with different empasis'
FUUUUCK
Rather average AB performance overall, but they got the job done I guess.
Well that huddle conference was for nothing.
K E K
E
K
because of screens, blocks and being allowed to hit players that not even carry the ball
pretty lacklustre
Fuck bros
GG
Do the Super Rugby Kiwis who don't make the national team play in the Mitre 10 once the Super Rugby season is on?
deciding who would bottle it.
NFL players are evident roiders, so toughers
Thinking it could be anothe rlow quality year for the rugby championship
The 6 nations is really the apex competition outside of the world cup, and has been for a number of years now, shame
It was a good game lads
based derrota digna
Good points:
umm
Bad points:
Reece
Fifita
Beardface
J Barrett
Coles
kek
Well at least I got laid today and that's all that counts right? Hahaha
your lads did well but literally beat themselves. gg mate
First half was in control, but they just seem to have dropped a gear for the entire second half.
Who's gonna top Pool C lads. Looking like England then Argie tttt
oh fuck yeah
It's gonna be a tough one, fuck.
60min ABs never appeared.
Where’s Italy
barrett won the game with that tackle
I'll be rooting for Argies against France and England fuck yeah GAMON
Reece did have some good moments tbf. Bit shaky but it was a debut in a pretty shitty team. I'd give him another chance
Argentina does not have large comunities were a sport is more popular than other.
Rugby is the fourth/fifth most popular sport everywhere, behind football, basketball, hockey and battling with racecars and tennis
bloated, floating down a river
In the gutter, where they belong
Is rugby like the US women's soccer team playing in the world cup? It seems like only New Zealand are on the elite level and every other team are part-timers just playing for fun. Argentina had 2/3 possession but weren't able to get shit done. Every time New Zealand had the ball they ran down the field.
Irish 44 man squad
18 Leinster
15 Munster
6 Ulster
5 Connacht
Why has the Ulster representation on the Irish team collapsed?
he shouldn't be in our NT in the first place.
Cane, Brodie and Ardie at least deserve mentions for putting in the hard slog.
stopped reading at US 2bh
And then the Saffers and Aussies play Currie Cup & NRC?
Kek
ok fair, Brodie was good, Sammy did well but shouldn't have captained.
Yeah, even if both defenses were pretty good we lacked accuracy when having advantage, lot of butter hands and flat phases i'm afraid
Lol they have milld muliani on the panel
Wasn't he up for rape at some point
What is it with you nz'rs and sex violence
dunno.
>every other team are part-timers just playing for fun
stop posting
Because Ulster are shit and pretty much base their season on getting favourable ref calls at home.
Defence was great, awesome at thf breakdown, good set piece, just bottled it with the handling as usual. First test of the season mate, could've beaten NZ, take heart, the RWC will be good for Argentina
>Kiwis actually rate Cane
Oh lord my sides, he's a worse version of Michael Hooper.
This coming from an Ulsterman?
Why not, he's a brilliant tackler and can put in some nice hits
yeah Mils can fuck off too
What a boring sport. Wasted the past hour, even read the rules.
American
No. NZ are always the favourites because they're just that good at winning. But the gap between them and the next 4 teams in the world ranking isn't that wide.
Those line breaks you see them do may seem easy but aren't. And today's perfomance is nowhere near their best
He was shite, what are you on? No clear breaks for an All Black wing ought to be a hangablr offence
This, I can't believe it.
because he's a foreigner who dodged a conviction for spousal abuse because he's a professional rugby player. fuck that piece of shit.
Ulster’s team is largely mediocre but consistent. And Schmidt buys into memes like Haley and Kleyn
No doubt about it, thx kiwi pal
touched it once, literally invisible on the wing when they broke wide. don't know wtf your mate is smoking
we'll be rooting for you lad.
WC is literally NH v SH
I'd actually rate Cane a Michael Hooper that can turn over balls. He's no McCaw but he pulls his weight.
That ending was so anti-climatic, fuck.
I kept shaking for like 10 minutes after it was done.
Yeah but why the decline from 15-20 years ago? They're on the same level as Connacht now in terms of representation.
loved how Brodie was screaming at the end
Get a load of this lib
Ha jokes on you, we get Japan, the cutest ally.
Reminder that Sanchez missed a penalty, and that forced us to try and score a try.
When on the last minutes we could've been trying to look for poles.
We have to stop playing pretend. Jaguares is the NT, and we should play them.
Shit management and sectarianism
Yeah I couldn't believe it when he missed and thought the same as you throughout the rest of the match.
He's still great though.
*scrum resets*
An ABs wing that doesn't score a hat trick on debut has no long term future.
Got it.
not lib at all, I think immigrants who commit crimes should be deported.
you can have a "knocked out in pool stage" sayonara party together m8
literally did nothing.
get a blanket m8
They're in a period of transition right now and have struggled to find players for their academy or adequately develop the players in their academy
A lot of players who are wasted potential
The equivalent of a nigger sucker punch. Then he pussied out when a guy his size came.
the Argcuck FEARS the Welshman
>argentina doesn't even care about rugby
>99% of the population can't even tell you the rules
>they only lose by 4
>Americans don't even know rugby or 7s even exists
>99.9% of the population couldn't even tell you 1 rule
>one of the best 7s sides in the world
I'm struggling to see your point lad
>7s
Look it’s fun to play but good god does it not need any sort of professionalism.
allowing anyone outside of scottish farmers from the borders to play 7s was a mistake.
The real crime is that they were let in in the first place
The real crime is that you engage in your political egowanks in nearly every thread and yet it has basically nothing to do with rugby
Honestly think he needs psychiatric help, but that's probably a Jewish mind control conspiracy to him
>triggered /pol/tato
sorry lads.
naholo > sevu reese's pieces
So will the aigbs bring Rokocoko or Lomu to the WC this year?
yeah mate pass the spade
For me it's Lauaki
wish there was rugby on tomorrow
cant wait for the world cup, only 60 days to go
Asshole
¿Qué ondis?
We're playing Italy, England and the Welsh twice next month, calm your tits
Should have given Ioane some time on the park. What's it going to be, the second Bledisloe game? Or Tonga?
Some sad cunt reported my Muslims are filth comment and I got abandoned for racism, because apparently Islam is a race. Are /rug/ really that cucked?
Reminder it took 5 seconds to reset my IP and get back to shitposting.
Sanchez no te enganchez
what does this have to do with rugby lad
You do realise it was the Argie who got a cheapshot on Moriarty first to set him off?
Can SA beat NZ
Will be 2 radically different teams that face off next weekend. The ABs should absolutely have the beating of a transitional Boks side but fuck knows, nobody is targeting this competition as "must win" with 2 months to go until the world cup
This RC is feeling out new/different combos and trying new players in new positions, while also using old moves and set piece plays that your opposition knows as not to reveal your hand
This RC is a game within a game
Up
And I plan to have 0 points come the end of the bru
This post aged well KEK
Also up, and just watched the replays. Not much to say about NZL v ARG, though Jordie had a bit of a shocker and Coltman looked the goods. Argentina just couldn't score a try no matter how much territory and possession they were gifted.
I have a few thoughts on the AUS v RSA game. RSA had a good game plan, their rush defence demolished Cheika's dated flat Randwick attack, and their refusal to kick to the likes of DHP/Hodge/Banks showed a lot of discipline. The Wallabies were always going to struggle at the scrum with both our first choice props injured, and in the second half we were playing a front row of Tupou-Uelese-HJH which has about 30 minutes of test experience in total. Combine that with the injuries to Uelese and Slipper and things started to look bad.
The worst thing was actually DHP. I don't know why Cheika persists with this guy, sure he's good under the high ball but does it matter if he just tosses it to a Springbok right after? He was directly responsible for 2 Springboks tries and totally butchered an unopposed try of his own. The lack of any sort of pacy specialist winger also hurts the Wallabies' ability to finish their opportunities, and at least half a dozen went begging in the first half. Conversely, the Boks scored 2 tries from 2 opportunities in the same period.
The other bad thing was Hooper's bullshit decision to go for a scrum when we were getting monstered up front and it would have been a gift 3 points. Not to mention that this is the first game in years we've had 4 lineout jumpers and it seemed to be operating pretty well, even making some steals.
The yellow card to Tupou was just another bullshit game-ruining yellow card to follow on from many in recent years. Tupou hit the guy a split second after the whistle and was already in motion before it, and he wrapped his arms and hit the guy in the chest. This is an issue with Tupou though, he has little T-Rex arms so every tackle he makes looks like a shoulder charge.
Should also mention that Beale and White looked good, and HJH was asked to play a lot of minutes for a debutant and held up pretty well. Naisarani fucked up at the back of the scrum once but otherwise ran well. Kerevi had a great game as always. Folau Fainga'a dropped a couple of balls but we have no other options - Uelese was on for 1 minute but threw a crooked lineout in that time. Kepu and Slipper were really nice to watch in the front row as well, they have the ability to tip the ball on to the next man which adds a lot on attack.
Replay of the yellow card that doesn't have fuckwit kearns bleating all over it?
How is Wales looking? Only gonna watch the final and hoping to see them
>uMzantsi Afrika x Australia
Tough match when the Saffas had more efficiency on attacks than Aussis and have won by this
>Argentina x Aotearoa
Los Argentos would win if not play with an out-of-sync Cordero
He'll play in Wellington next weekend.

>I make it as the wrong call," Cheika said. "The other guy should have been sent to the sin bin. The fourth official said he focused on the green player who came in with a shoulder charge. Taniela then came in after that to get him with his arms wrapped at the right height.
I don't see a problem with green wtf is Cheika smoking, but Tupou is definitely in for a penalty.
>tfw 6'2 but 69kg
I have the height yet not the weight
I thought green was fine too but Cheika is referring to how the TMO was trying to get Williams to look at green and not Tupou, it is only Williams who thought Tupou did anything wrong.
