They pulled the same shit here in Ireland with that faggot merchant Louis Walsh a few years back who also tried it with an underage lad and got a slap and the media leaped to his defence and pulled the same victim/perpetrator reversal fake news scam

Its pretty crazy how being gay here means you're exempt from being a bad person.

I was having a panic about possibly having to change my tv box situation.

I'm just delighted because my favourite part of the wc is always watching the minnows playing in the pool matches. Against each other or against tier 1 and when they kick a drop to get on the board after 65 mins and everyone cheers them on it's tremendous, proper spirit of the game stuff.

Yeah could have been tough finding streams when the smaller nations were duking it out.

Got a better one

>When Jesus appears in the Try Area

Virgin Sports is absolutely shit unless you're watching whatever game actually live. All they've on there is replay after replay. I'd be happier if they could buy the rights for some random domestic rugby or soccer leagues which I might watch during our off seasons or different timezones.
And yeah, losing the bt sports was highly irritating, didn't mind having a look at NASCAR or ice hockey or basketball championships from time to time.

>Saorview + Freesat = Every WC game for free
How do you know that? I find it difficult to believe a company as stingy as eir would allow that to happen. Or a company like ITV wouldn't comply with the law when it came to broadcasting rights.

>Im so happy eir bought the rights to a free World Event and put it behind a paywall and then did a deal to put their pay channels on another platform that you have to pay for just so i can watch Canada play Namibia

>How do you know that?

I have a sat dish and a basic sat box which picks up the English version of ITV, it can't be blocked, The thing picks up 50 different versions of ITV

The likes of eir, virgin and sky are laughing at you when they block you and try to charge you for a free event, i stopped paying for tv years ago and got all these channels for a one off payment and im laughing at you too

>I have a sat dish and a basic sat box which picks up the English version of ITV, it can't be blocked
So how did you get those out of interest and where do you live?

I'm 70km from the nearest transmitter so I'd need one of those UHF aerials just for Saorview like and the only location I think I've seen freesat advertised is for Dublin.

Forget the saorview, you only need that if you want RTE1/2HD who only have the Irish games and knock out stages

ITV1 and ITV 4 have all the WC games, all you need for them is a sat dish on the side of your house and a sat box you can buy from did electrical or power city or whatever electrical retailer you have closest to you

Get a sat dish installer in to put the dish on your roof/side of the house, and put the cable through to whatever rooms you want to watch tv in, then connect them into the sat box and do an automatic tune and there you go, hundreds of free channels including all the ITV's

Im amazed im even having to explain this as it is common knowledge to everyone put people still continue to think they have to pay for these channels

Well now in truth I'd be fine if TG4 had the rights to every match with Irish commentary.
You're still paying for it if it's on rte or whatever normal channel anyway, license and being advertised at.
Neither way is great desu, but I've already got the Virgin TV so for me I'm happy.

Okay then thanks I'll do that.

But I remember trying to watch a game before that was on ITV in the UK and Virgin Sport here and when I tried to watch it here on ITV they were broadcasting something else like East Enders.

It's like how Sky broadcast Irish ads from the towers in Ireland even though they're on UK channels so how are you sure the RWC games will actually be available on ITV?

>But I remember trying to watch a game before that was on ITV in the UK and Virgin Sport here and when I tried to watch it here on ITV they were broadcasting something else like East Enders.

Then you were watching it on virgin, eir or sky who are scum and block shit, on a third party sat box it picks up the english versions which cant be blocked, heres some links for them

It means delicate casuals who speak like they're trying to be as agreeable as possible, often by covering up their delusional arrogance with false humility. Perhaps you don't notice it because you are one of them?

BT has lots of boxing, football and rugby coverage as well. Isn't it the only place to watch the Champion's Cup games?

That list came from the website bigseventravels, and there's no clear standards with which they rank the cities. In fact, if you go through the first page of Google results "top ten friendliest cities" you'll realise there's no consensus on which NZ or Aussie city should be in the world's top ten. I see two lists with Christchurch, one with Queenstown and one with Auckland (I was raised in Auckland, to that I say no "comment").

Ireland vs England I'm planning to skip. Pretty sure it'll just play out like Wales vs England - defensive training run played at test intensity to prepare for the RWC

Scotland vs France might have some worthy spectacle, so could be worth the watch

The Auld Alliance game is at a better time and they do like to play a bit looser but neither team will get far in the RWC so it's barely worth watching on a preparation level. At least Ireland and England are half-competitive.

The chances of me bothering to find a tv to watch scotland v france at midnight on a saturday are close to zero.

Nope.

What's a spice zombie?

Spice is a drug, spice zombie someone who uses it

>World Rugby has announced that its flagship 15s and sevens Rugby World Cup properties will no longer include gender in their titles, furthering its commitment to equality and brand consistency across its portfolio.
>In a first for a major sporting federation, the women’s designation will be dropped from Women’s Rugby World Cup 2021 in New Zealand which will now be named Rugby World Cup 2021, starting the global roll out.

I hope so.

So from now on we have to describe which world cup we're watching by gesturing at our genitals?

baka.com.au/entertainment/tv-and-radio/jacinda-ardern-returns-serve-on-alan-jones-with-bledisloe-cup-sledge-20190820-p52iuz.html
Shots fired.

Usually the x world cup is actually open to any gender or sex or whatever you go on these days, if your good enough you will be competing in the top tournament no matter what the sport. The women world cup versions tend to be closed to women only, hence why they have the descriptor and the open one doesn't.
The descriptor was never about sexism or anything like that, it was about describing what it is.
For pretty much any sport men compete in there is no requirements regarding sex, its only the women versions that tend to have that sort of requirements in them.

In short removing the descriptor of what the tournament is for "equality" is just stupid as the women version is actually the only one that isnt open and equal for everyone.

>baka.com
fucking baka alright.

Nobody will give a shit about this and it wont be even noticed, nobody watches womens sports, not even women, if it even gets brought up in conversation people will continue to call it the womens world cup

Nobody is going to adopt the marxist ideologies that sporting organisations are being used to push on people, best thing to do is sit back, laugh at it and watch it collapse in on itself

I'm pretty sure it's just a lame way to get people confused and mention women's rugby. Like 'oh the world cup is in 2021, nah that's just women's world cup'

Does this mean that in the future some idiot will get confused and play a mens side against a female side and they all have sex at the end? Is their a rugby porno?

I hope for good of rugby that the Irish plane goes missing on the way to Japan

Just think, any lad could become a tranny and be famous overnight. Well any lad of good genetics.

Why do you want that to happen?

Bit harsh, would you not prefer we got there and got knocked out in the quarters?

I don't like Sextons face.
Yeah fair enough, this scenario would actually be better. If the irish plane went missing it would be a neverending story.

>I'm pretty sure it's just a lame way to get people confused and mention women's rugby. Like 'oh the world cup is in 2021, nah that's just women's world cup'

The Mens and Womens WC's are in different years so as i said it wont even be talked about, every Rugby fan knows the next WC is 2023 and as nobody gives a shit about the womens game there wont be any confusion

Apparently they're releasing another rugby game in time for the world cup. Its going to be shit isn't it?

>digging like a demented mole

I still remember my m8 absoiutely spazzing out at me handing off and him not knowing how to work around it. Threw the remote control and unfriended me for two weeks.

So they want people to confuse the two world cups now? How sad is it that organisations feel they need to trick people into watch poor quality sports

Yeah but casuals will only see 'the rugby world cup' and just assume it's the mens

plus when you go to buy world cup tickets, you're going to be smashing on refresh and won't be being careful when purchasing
accident waiting to happen, especially with the older fans

If you accidentally buy tickets for a world cup that isnt 4 years apart you kind of deserve it

I somewhat agree but think of the pensioners that want tickets

The problem is other sports don't always have a fixed cycle for their tournaments e.g. cricket, league. Not even the women's RWC has that. The men's RWC (alongside with the divegrass World Cups) is the exception rather than the rule.

Crisis in the front row lads, my only recognised tight head F.Gonzalez has broken his arm. Might need to make an emergency signing.

Instead of doing that they should have just called the rugby world cup, the men's rugby world cup
Not really getting this, seems like a cold hard case of virtue signalling

I think we can trust their motive is what they said it is, the virtue signaling is just another positive benefit for them.
They want to increase the value of the woman's compitition by removing the descriptor womens from the name of the tournament. That's a massive "money driving the decision" situation 2bh

Shitting in a toilet and then taking the gender sign off the door doesn't make the turd any easier to flush

he might get a few pool games but i think hes basically done with rugby after this

They want to, they want womens rugby to be worth more. Not the same at least to start with, but more.
Crotty injured a thumb and will be back once its done healing, which is ~7 weeks after the Super Rugby final. They will check he is fit which he should still be and he will play if he passes those tests.

Crotty is due back for Tonga

Funny how you're not going turbo-autistic over Kleyn starting against England with 1 cap. It's a warm-up game. Either Byrne works out or he doesn't. It's otherwise a close to full-strength team.

Fly Half is the most important position and with Sexton not fully fit and Carbury likely to miss the rest of the warm ups and possibly the first 1-2 WC games and we find ourselves having to resort to our 3rd and 4th choice fly halfs now, just pointing out this is the fault of the IRFU for turning their back on Jackson who would have been first choice with Sexton not fully fit

And Kleyn shouldn't be in the squad full stop nevermind only having 1 cap

I could play 2nd row.

grim scenes, since he’s a big name he’ll be given nothing but soft touches so we won’t even get the satisfaction seeing his head get caved in

Yup Jackson didn’t get charged, he din du nuffin, he’s a gud boi.

Hopefully Daly gets exposed at full back because he can’t catch. He got red carded on his debut trying to challenge for a ball and failing horrendously. That should have been enough to show he doesn’t have instinct for it. Alex Goode would be perfect but i guess Watson will do a good job too.

Gives an extra option against certain sides but yeah i hope it isn’t the default plan as Cips should be called up as backup.

How does that even make sense

Funny, I thought forwards were more important than backs, at least according to the memeing I've experienced here.

To be brutally honest, has Earls ever been a top 20 winger in the world, at any point of his career? I really don't think so.

>unless Ben Smith is playing there
And besides even if that wasn't the case he could be eclipsed by some no. 11

I think he's talking specifically for Ireland at the moment. But really 10 is important as fuck, regardless what fat smelly forwards might think.

So in terms of importance, 10 > all forwards > all the other backs?

Personally I would say yes. I'd say Hooker is the most technically demanding 'important' forward position. You've got to scrummage, hook the ball, throw in line-outs, as well as knowing all the calls, plus you're generally expected to be more mobile than props.

10 > 9 > 2 > 4/5 (if they're jumpers) > rest
Just my opinion.

Unless Japan defeats Ireland and Scotland both to top their group, but I wouldn't bank on it.

Italy not going to defeat either SA nor the ABs. Argentina may defeat both England and France - but that's not a very big upset. Fiji? Again, they can top their group if the stars align by the odds are against them.

From there onwards the winner'a gonna be SA, NZ, Wales. England and Ireland can win, but have less likelihood:
1). England's in a tough pool and their stocks may or may not last the whole yard.
2). Ireland has a bad voodoo on making the semi finals.

Man, it really sucks to be #metoo'd when you're innocent.

lol what a thick cunt you are

Its a thumb injury, Could be good to go next weekend but Schmidt might not risk him, plus with Carbury injured now he's been forced to give International Game Time to Byrne/Carty, something he should have done in the 6 Nations but refused to and now he's been caught out

Absolute delussion
He can (sometimes) catch a ball, and can run (somewhat) fast in a straight line
That's it
That's literally all he's got

Would have went with Carthy myself, as a leinster fan I know the limitations of ross byrne
Carthy has impressed more regularly than byrne for me
Kinda sick of schmidt's leinster boner at this point

Attached: JeanKleyn_FirstCap.jpg (2000x1462, 421K)

One thing I'll say is that Byrne and Carbery worked great together during that USA game, where Byrne played 10 and Carbery moved to outside centre. Made up for the weaknesses in each other's performances. Munster have done something similar with Bleyendaal slotting into 10 and Carbery moving to the centre pairing to great effect. Wish they had gotten another chance at that against a stronger team.

Think it works as a stop gap but I reckon carbs is too physically fragile to do anything other than play ten

Well every team goes through the same thing in a RWC year. NZ's forced to play double playmaker to cramschool game time into Mounga. Australia has to count on Pocock to slip right back into test. Not to mention Cheika's only taking two halfbacks. If either White or Genoa gets injured (hope not, touch wood) things can be very nerve wrecking.

Going to Twickenham tomorrow, should be exciting because I always dread matches against Ireland on TV.

should be a decent game la
think your boys will edge it though
hopefully neither of the team pick up any injuries
Reckon lawes will come on and heem carthy

Nobody gives a fuck about NH rugby

Honestly he seems too fragile for rugby in general. Lad is forever out with injuries.

Russia counts as part of NH

>Reckon lawes will come on and heem carthy

Its bad enough been a treasonous fuck by hoping they injure one of our lads but then you add insult by mispelling his name

Yeah unless he somehow toughens up I just don't see him stepping up why sexton fucks off.
I kinda get why Leinstyer kept byrne instead of carberry, he might be less skillful but at least he takes to the field week in week out without getting crocked on the regular

Attached: JoeyCarberyLeinsterRugby_large.jpg (600x325, 31K)

I don't hope it happens mate, I can just see it happening, knowing lawes' proclivity for heeming 10's and carthy's likehood of coming on when we are down and really trying to get things moving by very playing tight to the line

Didn't get to see much of Connacht play last season, was he out injured at all?

Carthy?
Nothing major I think
Not that I saw much of them but the impression I got from last season was that he really stepped up and started, one being very consistent, and two managing games much better than he had before
The fact that the consistency thing was being bandied about would suggest to me that he was playing most of the season

>Carthy?

No, Carty

Attached: 1566333458994.jpg (250x230, 7K)

and from what I did see he definitely seemed capable of getting connachts back line moving

Byrne is better at territorial kicking and ball distribution. Carbery is all about making runs and place-kicking.

what are the other 2

Nashville here, what the fuck are you on? We’re the most stuck up rhinestone cowboy excuse for a southern city there’s ever been.

LOVE the work so far lad (you should watermark these incase some meme rugby website rips them off) but definitely make the French Rooster look different to the Japanese Pheasant. Can you do a Japan with a Koi Carp?

We watching Scotland v France lads?

>people called that a shoulder charge to the head
God this world cup is going to shit if everyone is pissy about tackles.

Yeah, reckon it'll be closer than last time.
Heads up to anyone looking for a stream, if you vpn over to France you can watch in on FR2 in decent quality rather than potato quality on vipbox.

Ideally not as I have a flight at 2pm, and will probably just watch englel v paddies straight after if I watch the first game But if France dominate them it could be worth it just for the seethe.

Scotland are harder to beat at Murrayfield. Looked dogshit last weekend though

Any stream for it? Links are for Southern Hem stuff

Dude in the wheelchair thinks it's a rave

Hogg is well off the boil.

Glad to see Iturria's back at grabbing groundballs again, but dear God - this defense is back at being nothing special again and we're back at the Fijian counterattack style again.

Think France look better than Argentina right now Tbh.

I'd say roughly even but france would edge it in the physicality department

The choke begins

I seriously don't know what to expect from that game.

What I expect for a stereotypical France-Argentina game is that there's tons of penalty kicks and a win for either team by 6 or less. the RWC one won't be too different to fit that description - just nevermind the fact it's been 12 years since both last met in a RWC game also
>implying test games.
>implying they meant something for the last 12 years because both teams were trading wins and losses since 2007.

So Scotland twice and Italy? Well, not surprising after all, that's our current level. At least we can win 1 or 2 games this way.

Imagine if England is eliminated a few days away from the Brexit.

Here's that VIP link for anyone else having trouble

vipbox.live/england-vs-ireland-1-live

Only thing is who'll play this game against Italy. Looks like it may be a mix of the squad that played today and Squad B from last week. Which is unusual since it's really not the type of preparation or any or sort of similar ones we had in the past.

Ie. in 2003, France played Romania the first week of tests then England twice - in their logic it was 1 game for squad B then Squad A squaring off against England.

2019 is such a weird year on top of a weird cycle for French rugby.

Avast doesn't seem to like this website

would be nice to see the welsh cunts eliminated a few days away as well

Ireland will have at least one "muhh passion" performance, which will be enough to beat Scotland or Japan.
What are the fixtures? A final knockout game between Ireland and Scotland would be good.

our first game is against scotland

Yeah just checked and the final pool game is Japan v Scotland, probably a winner goes into the knockout stages scenario, I think Ireland would have already qualified by then.

Scotland's last fixture is against Japan. Ireland's first two fixtures are against Scotland and Japan.
