/rug/

does the winner of this next Wales-England game become number 1 in the world rankings?

No because NZ will plough Australia.

Possible knowing World Rugby, South Africa who won the RC last weekend went down a position and the Italians who lost to our b/c side went up a position

The rankings are mickey mouse as fuck

He's right, fuck rankings.
Right now any of the top 6 could beat each other on a good day. NZ's dominance has diminished markedly. The RWC is gonna be a banger

Possibly. New Zealand can only get .35 ranking points from a blowout against Australia. As an example of how bullshit rankings are to begin with, lets look at the permutations

>New Zealand win by any margin
If Wales win by any margin they take 1st and England drop to 5th
if England win by 15 or less they move to 2nd and Wales moves to 4th.
If England win by 16 or more they move to 1st and Wales drop to 5th
If they draw, Wales drops to 3rd and England stays in 4th

>New Zealand lose by 15 or less/ New Zealand draws with Australia
If Wales win by any margin they take 1st, New Zealand drop to 3rd and England drop to 5th
If England win by 15 or less they take1st, New Zealand drop to 3rd and Wales drop to 4th
If England win by 16 or more they take 1st, New Zealand drop to 3rd and Wales drop to 5th
If they draw, Wales stay in 2nd, New Zealand drops to 4th, England takes 3rd and Ireland takes 1st

>New Zealand loses by 16 or more
If Wales win by any margin they take 1st, New Zealand drop to 6th, England drop to 5th and Australia rise to 3rd
If England win by 15 or less they take 1st, New Zealand drop to 6th, Wales drop to 3rd and Austrialia rise to 4th
If England win by 16 or more they take 1st, New Zealand drop to 6th, Wales drop to 5th and Australia rise to 3rd
If they draw, Wales stay in 2nd, New Zealand drops to 6th, England takes 3rd, Ireland takes 1st and Australia rise to 4th

And that's without considering the SA - Argentina game. Though all that can really come of that is that South Africa drops to 6th and all affected parties are bumped up accordingly. The only good thing to be said for it is that it shows that the top 6 teams are quite close in rankings and therefore competitive with each other.

It's strange that NZ, SA and Aus have precisely 3 good second rowers.

the only "ranking" that matters is decided in November in Yokohama.

I know. That’s why I’m pointing out how needlessly complicated this shit is.

Thinking he's one of these pure size meme players
He lacks nuance but is fairly consistent, probably didn't live up fully to his potential but as far as out and out chonky second rows go he's definitely up there

Have you tried listening to audioporn, as a way of weaning yourself off of normal porn? I did that about a year back and it's done wonders. Really clarified what I actually find attractive and what was just arousing because of shock value.

What pisses me off with second rows is, very rarely do they actually run hard and use 6'8 or whatever of themselves to do damage. Etzebeth is one of the few who absolutely charges into contact.

>come 3rd in TRC

Correct.

What a coincidence, I too am dropping a record-equalling New Zealand.

People who weren't old enough to remember the last time aussie lifted the bledisloe will be drinking in pubs watching the game only to have their hearts crushed.
Imagine that, one of them may even be posting in this very thread.

Anyone who thinks the All Blacks will be 2 from 6 (Argentina and Italy) when the 6th is at Eden Park is having a laugh, though refereeing decisions could prove them right.

Ok, so I moved to a new place, and they dont have sky.
How do I watch the rugby this weekend? I'm a novice stream searcher but I can manage to open ace streams and anything else too.
I've never been in a position where I don't have sky so I have never needed rugby streams

All the streams last weekend were horrendous. I’m considering buying a day pass £8.99 or week pass £14.99 for this weekend.

Ahh shit. That's not good. I might have to look into sports pass through sky or w/e its called

Yeah it’s just not worth watching a laggy or 8bit stream.

Just go to a pub mate

I'm having people over to my place and the closest pub is 3km away, but that might be the go at this rate.

I was away one weekend and literally went to the local pub to watch the Tahs and everyone in the pub deathstared me when I asked if we could switch one of the 6 TVs. To their credit the staff tried but it turns out they only get 3 foxtel channels and it doesn't include the one union is usually played on.

*clarifying, every TV was showing NRL

ausGODS

ok, ask someone with sky if you can use their skygo. obviously mum or dad is ideal. computer to tv. that's how I watch sky. it's pretty good.

Its idiots like you who give them the money to put sports behind a pay wall in the first place

You realise sky has teams of hackers that sabotage other television companies and streaming sites to get idiots to pay to watch

bbc.co.uk/news/uk-17494723

Never pay for it, simply dont watch and see how fast the sporting organisations come crawling back for people to watch their sports after their viewing figures have collapsed, it happened with the Champions Cup last season

It'll be the same if they draw though.

>only to to be crushed at the RWC
Wouldn't bet on that lad, the one time they won the Bledisloe in a World Cup year they went on to win it.

I'd say it's almost a definite.

Don’t care, i know that’s why the streams suck especially around a WC. Three decent streams got btfo after 5min. £9 is better than paying full £60 per month and the WC is on free to air. After the WC it’ll be like usual.

Also my ex-ex-gf mums dropped her sports package on skygo

South Africa didn't go down, they went up a place from beating Aus and drawing NZ and then went down when England beat Wales. They got fuck all points from Argentina because there is too big a points gap (you have to be within 10 and the home team gets +3 added to factor home advantage)

Dafs and inflatable sheep on this weekend boys.

Hearing lots of stuff about refs being ultra strict on high tackles in the world cup. How many games will be ruined?

F1 is a bigger sport than Rugby, they in the last few years have gone all ultra strict on the grounds of "safety" and in those last few years have lost millions of viewers and are losing hundreds of millions in revenue every year now

World Rugby can't afford to turn the game into a soft dumbed down spectacle, they'll penalise high tackles as usual but if they over do it thats the sport finished

They've laid out some new framework for deciding the severity of a citing. A lot of it is stuff that existed before but it now explicity lays out when a ref can and cannot reduce a card offence to a penalty.

Tackles are unnecessary in most situations when mauls can be did instead of tackles. It's an advantage for defensive team when mauls can be blocked.

Dunno lad, watching it back it could easily be a red because Warburton dropped him on his neck. The ridiculous thing is that Rolland didn't even TMO it, just an instant red. Plus there were worse tackles earlier in the tournament that only got yellows.

>Tackles are unnecessary in most situations when mauls can be did
That's a gem.

Remember the Welsh webosphere going mad that Rolland had only red carded him because Wales had beaten Ireland.

It was a fukcken conspiracy lad

Someone had to stand up to that psycho Warburton.

Shame Rolland was forced to retire afterwards and go into hiding.

Guys at work thought he did well given how bad the forwards were. Though BB can still show his world class playmaker skills on the back foot with shitty forwards (see literally any NZ derby game for the Hurricanes as well as the ABs last 2 games). Richie has never had that pressure so has never learnt that skill set.
It's high time they started vs a decent team, may lose because of it though.
Yeah, hopefully he is peaking for the cup

nerves of fucking steel

I'm hoping that it's a false flag that it's what we will do. We can play our standard game with standard team with a few new moves and tactics and probably make it to the quarters at least.
They are throwing Richie in the deep end knowing he will be our 10 at 60 mins, and after the world cup so he gets a ton of experience to get well up to speed.
We know with our established pack he does well, so with all the changes there as well he has stum a bit which is fair enough.

The Bledisloe literally matters more to the general Australian public than the RWC. That's why rugby in this country is dead, we may be RWC grand finalists but we havent got anything but the wooden spoon in the Bledisloe for a whole generation.

We should have won in 2017 though.

I want Aussie to win cause then maybe cazzies will get back into the game and stop it dying in Aus

>still whining about the Barrett red card
Literally the best red card I've seen all year. Not saying much, but I'm guessing people singling this card out didn't watch the u20 WC.

Thinking about what life would be like if Charlie Ngatai wasn't made out of glass.

And crotty

Can you even name the other four red cards this year?

There have been far more than 4. There were 2 in Australia's u20 WC games alone.

Red under current laws, yellow under old laws.

Calling a draw on this one.

Had you won the RWC in 2015 I think that'd have mattered more than the Bledisloe especially considering the other finalist was NZ.

So no then.

>bru doesn't have Bledisloe Cup available

>2 games one of which is part of the RC

Yeah but I wanted to pick a draw for that match.

thinking singapoo should be restricted to a single post each day

Probably why he's had the occasions to be gifted with the captain'a role. When your body's screaming for you to lie down and take a breather, the sight of a tireless peer braving the line tucks on you to keep going

Well I sure hope they don't start enjoying losing too much. I want the SH teams to whack all other competitions.

If the 2015 performance is any indication then losing in Eden Park won't really dent Wallabies momentum going into the RWC

Where have you been in the past 5 years? They've also changed the ruck laws since the last RWC, you might wanna look into that

Is there more foreigners in that backline than actual English players?

heinz and cokanasiga are the foreign born ones so no, unless you were being a cheeky racist ;)

Wales were tactically dominated by an England B team in a bit of a reversal of the 6 Nations.

People here mightn't want to admit it but England are looking like genuine contenders off that last Wales match alone and are a really top team.
He probably wants and now has to see how his first XV deal with England's blitz defence and how the English so easily dealt with Wales' blitz. He also seems to have changed how Wales play since the 6 Nations so he needs that to bed in in an actual test scenario.

That's just what I think having watched the game and read some analysis pieces of it.

I'd say you can at least bank comfortably on the same result as last RWC, because there's no way Ireland won't advance from their group. You have a decent chance of beating either SA or NZ if the stars align, so Ireland may very well make the Semi this time.

>cokanasiga
speaking of, there’s something weird in the UK with Fijians fighting for the British army
have friends that used to go to army schools or whatever they’re called and Fijians are allowed in them
I have no idea why it is, I’m pretty sure they get made full UK citizens and I think Cokanasiga is the son of a guy like that
anyone know why this is?

Based fucking Tito poster. I feel for Ireland and their path to the final, but I'll never admit to it less the plastic paddys hear about it. An Ireland WC win would literally shut rugby media up across the globe, as that would mean they're undisputed heavyweight champions.

lest**

There is no way Ireland could keep up the intensity to beat a combination of NZ/SA/ENG/WAL to the final. They could maybe pick off one of them in one of those hearty performances, but they can't produce that consistently.

youtube.com/watch?v=hXVlsWtkA-E

Hmmm
Have said for a while on here Beirne should play 6 or cover it off the bench since I don't think he's good enough to play lock at test level.
I always thought Kleyn would go too ahead of another loose head lock whether that was Dillane or Beirne since his skill set is more important to how Ireland play and if the amount of players you can bring is capped it's just more useful to have another tight head lock rather than a loose one though it feels wrong preferring a South African over an actual Irish player.

If Kleyn gets in ahead of Beirne my hopeful thinking goes from hoping we win the WC to hoping we go out at the group stage

The IRFU doesn't think so either, in their predictions of our development going forward, the plan for this World Cup and the next one is to reach the semi and/or Final and then in 3 World Cup's time (2027) to have a system that produces a World Cup winning side

Why's that?

>file no longer exists

Am I the only one who gets that?

If you want to be the best you have to be realistic and know your own system and be brutally honest with yourself and were you really are in the pecking order, they must know that even though we have more depth than any time before, the depth that we have now probably still isn't good enough.

In the last few years with the newer generation of lads we have coming through we have hit a new level, they must think we need a few more years of newer players and less of the older players to get to were we need to be.

Thought you were replying to my other comment Because Beirne is Irish and deserves to be at the WC (Its the reason he was brought back to Ireland), Kleyn is a foreign shitter who is average as fuck and who has no shame in betraying his real Country, anyone who betrays his own Country on the basis that he wouldn't or doesn't think he would get called up to play for them certainly shouldn't be allowed in our National Team

I’m guessing Gatlands wanting his first team prepped for combinations (not just that he really really wants to win this warm up) so he’s demolished them in training camp to the point where they’re only operating at X-%. So come WC once they’re nice and rested they’ll be that X+% extra. He wants them to remember their sufferings. Idk as a Rose that’s how i see it, playing with what he’s got, hopefully Englands coach after the WC.

>So come WC once they’re nice and rested they’ll be that X+% extra

They have England again this weekend, then one week off, then Ireland twice one week after the other then only 2 weeks off before the WC, if they are worn out now not sure how they'll have that X+% extra come WC time

Maybe i’ve been watching worlds strongest man preparations too much but they barely lift anything (% wise) two weeks to a month for some before the event. Gatlands ruthless (people here talk about Eddie but he has nothing on Gats) given injury chance, especially after the last WC when they were scrounging around for players.

But obviously destroy themselves beforehand. Gats = 100%

You'd find yourself just fucking around with the angles all the time playing with it like a 3 year old resulting in not watching the game properly

While we're on the anti pay channel topic
>Fuck eir

Who knew Australia would end up with the best paid rugby service?

There’s literally a spider cam channel on Saturday

That doesn't really apply to my post lad. Sky brought the largest rugby streaming service in the world and doesn't plan on providing access to more games or to better ways of watching sport than they currently offer.
I really hope Spark kills Sky.

Would recommend asking a friend to borrow or staying at theirs for a couple of nights before buying, giving away a pet is pretty much the most trash human thing you can do. If you think you can stand it long-term though, there is little else that will bring you more joy.

Magpies by 8.

He's South African. They're all like that, especially the ones big enough to get away with it.

that's quite cool that Sky acknowledges that they are the Bay

my whole family are cat people and cats have gone back and forth over the years and been fine with their new homes. they're not dogs.

Any team other than NZ. NZwinslol isn't good for the game.

>coconut takes quick tap

NZ setting the high standard is good for the game.
It's good for anyone to be chasing a superior team.
The recent slumps for Aus and RSA, our main rivals, are one of the main reasons our game has slipped a little.

On the bright side they’ve done a deal with Virgin. So if you’re on there the Pro14 and the World Cup will be available at no extra charge

god I love being a wellington rugby fan

Certainly changed your tune

You've still got to have periods of mortality from time to time in order for that to work, to give the impression that the chase isn't an impossible one.

yes that's right now but the door will close when it matters and that's for everyone's good lad.

It's gonna be fine. We won't win the 2019 WC.

How many points would NZ loss if defeated by Canada, Italy and Namibia in WC?

NZ can go down to like 4th regardless of what they do this weekend.

World cup matches count for double ranking points so any sort of major upset could tank a teams ranking

Ireland
Australia

After that it is more or less who I dislike more apart from maybe the island nations but I don't really know enough about them to like or dislike them.

Is France v Scotland on TV?

How fucked are the wallabies tonight lads?

Probably on TV5 Monde. Comments in french.

Picking a close one 2bh

They only need the draw.

premier sports apparently

Where do you normally find streams for rugby?
Engkek games are usually on free TV so I have no issue but it'd be great to get up tomorrow morning to watch NZ attempt their revenge on Aus.

Nvm am retard, just read OP.

there're 2 in the OP, but when I tried using them for M10 yesterday, didn't work. might stop putting them in the OP

having said that, they'll probably have the Internationals

I'm up lads. Watching some M10. Bitch missus vomited in my brand new $34k car when I got out of bed and picked her up at 2am last night (she was supposed to stay the night) and this is my only solace.

why are you letting your missus go out and get hammered then picking her up at 2am like a bitch

he's called shedcuck for a reason

She went out for a girls' night to celebrate naming her friends as bridesmaids, she was supposed to stay with them but they all started messaging me saying she was really unwell and needed to go home. Thinking I'll tell her to spend some time with her family for a while.

potential all black reuben o'neill

she can come stay with me.

The quarter final reaching European market.

Lets assume your working during some of the games you want to watch, because if your complaining about that during the weekend your a nonce.
If you dont work somewhere they will stream it on a projector or on a tv in a meeting room, and you dont work somewhere that having it on in the corner of your screen is ok, I dont know what to tell you.

This is no good for my alcoholism. There’s no way I’m not drinking heavily while decent match is on.

Based fucking LT punching in the live score updates.

Quietly happy Israel Adesanya doesn't fight under our flag. Bit of a dickhead.

Went to check to check what I had picked at like 30 minutes and it was still left at 0 - 0, I was potentially the only person watching the game in the country at that stage.

surprised you lot give a shit about mma

Not /pol/tato or a conspiracy theorist but was just thinking you have to wonder if the powers that be were involved in Japan, the home team, getting such an easy group.

They were only 3 bands divided into 4 teams and Japan was in the 3rd one but they somehow managed to get us, who were in the top band instead of New Zealand, England or Australia and we are clearly traditionally worse than all of them.
And they also somehow managed to get Scotland (2nd band) as well instead of France, Wales or South Africa, who are clearly the worst team out of those 4 traditionally.

All very very convenient if you wanted to hedge your bets on creating a greater likelihood of an upset and maybe qualifying for the quarters.

Forgetting Nakarawa here, arguably a better-all arounder than Retallick. Perhaps lacking in rucking.

do the wallabies have a chance tonight lads?

Walking to the pub, already half soaked.

Whitelock > Retallick 2bh
The real issue is the second string locks are a significant step down, then the third string are even more large of a step down

reckon new zealand will finally click in what theyre trying to do and pull away in the second half and what worked so well for the aussies last week wont this week

You read the analysis of how they have changed how they have been deploying the forwards through the back line on attack?

yeah

Sounds like a good yarn, then you look at the footage and the stats around when we last changed something like that and it all falls into place.

the name's peeland.......poo peeland

cup getting a bit wet lads

I hope we win tonight so I don't have to care about the RWC.

Wales were trying something similar last week. Using forwards as first and second receiver and more complicated pullbacks and things, actively aiming to play out beyond the 15s rather than playing up midfield.

PISSING DOWN

Bad anthem = gg

Remember when your cricket team went running home from NZ complaining that NZ are the worst crowds in the world.
They were right on many levels.

here's a thought. NZ and Aus have two of the worst anthems around

Shaggy not really got the body to pull off a suit without a jacket. Cover it up, fatty.

grim pickings unfortunately, either eggs or just porridge.

Boooooo

funny how based cheika puts on some glasses when he's in the box like it increases his tactical ability

How come Australia has NZ's anthem and vice versa? Bit odd this.

Will never not hate having singers for the national anthems

can't go wrong with eggs

CHEEKY DROPPY

Feels like a really dumb loophole that a missed dropgoal is a 22 rather than a scrum back

Looked like they just tripped over each other but could be wrong

reece and bridge are both shite compared to previous ab wingers

They're already far better than Ioane and Smith were last week.

Looked like a straightforward tackle to me but without replays who knows

Ardie's made more yards down the wing than both combined so far. And more than BB probably

fucking moody absolutely free penalty

I remember when you used to get an advantage when the other team infringed.

Read was a fucking mile offside then.
