Yet it was 2 wins each. Crazy games though, England were 24-8 up in the first test and lost, 12-0 up in the second test and lost, won the third test comfortably and won at Twickenham by 1 point when they probably should've lost

That's about the same as SA's record against NZ in the same period. In their 3 2018-19 games the points differential is 0.

Cokanasiga

Not bad by England standards.

Francis is English and Cokanasiga moved to England at age 1.

There's going to be a German in the AB's U18's and then U21's shortly (he's that good) and he literally moved with his family to play rugby for New Zealand. I CANNOT WAIT for the seethe that is going to occur when he runs out proper for the All Blacks.

That there is half the team, and most of those names are their game makers/breakers, I know Ireland have 3 foreign shitters in the team which im not happy about and shouldn't be in there but thats nothing compared to what England are pulling, plus one of those foreign shitters (Kleyn) is fucking hopeless and wont be going to the World Cup so we'll be only down to 2

If i were an English person/fan i wouldn't be happy with that and could not get past seeing that as my National Side, Its like if you were to ask a French football fan how does he feel about his Country winning the last World Cup, he'd grunt at you and tell you that wasn't France then walk away in disgust

But if you're talking about ethnics you'd have to include Van Der Flier for Ireland (saffa), Stockdale (English name) and a multitude of others

>you'd have to include Van Der Flier, Stockdale

His Mother is Irish and his Fathers side is Dutch which at least is in the same ethnic region of Europe, Stockdale is a plantation kid and is most likely Celtic, England mulattos are from darkest reaches of the African Congo and have nothing in common with them

Can't even play by your own rules. Typical

Here here! Too many white fellas on that South AFRICAn team as well

I ceebs doing the research now but I recall you faggots making the same comments about the Wallabies and I have done the research on them. They may be disproportionately brown, but that just happens to be the way both Jones and Cheika play. Only 2 of the Wallabies this year (and they're both also recent debutants) didn't spend at least 7 years in Australian schools.

The South African Government and media is working on that right now

Funny thing about that is both Jones and Cheika are mixed race, and people who are mixed race have no Ethnic loyalty and therefore naturally dont give a shit about flooding foreigners into their sides

pretty impressive ngl

Apparently Wales going to make a load of changes for Ireland. What are the chances Schmidt does the same? Or will he keep the same team so they've got a chance to redeem themselves?

I reckon he'll make changes but that won't be indicative of him actually dropping people. It'll be for the same reason Gatland is making them.

Hallam Amos, Owen Lane, Scott Williams, Owen Watkin, Steff Evans; Jarrod Evans, Aled Davies; Rhys Carre, Ryan Elias, Samson Lee, Jake Ball, Bradley Davies, Aaron Shingler, Josh Navidi (capt), James Davies

That's the predicted Wales team, pretty much all guys coming back from injury or needing gametime.

You must have been so upset last year when the Irish humbled the ABs then - having to suffer watching a kiwi and a south african slogging the entire 80 minutes for their adopted country.

If you want to sit on your high horse, stop looking at it in the mouth.

>B-But different skin colour

Cope

It'll either be a disaster of players trying too hard or a bunch of hungry guys really putting on a good performance. Gatland's last ever game in Cardiff too I think.

I figure it’ll be half and half. Sexton has injured himself again so it’ll be Carty and Byrne at 10. Earls and maybe Addison will come into the back 3, and I’d wager Stockdale will get another run out. Either Conway or Larmour on the bench. Aki and either Henshaw or Ringrose at centre. Not sure about forward’s, though. I think there’ll be much more rotation there.

That isn’t half the team you’re including bench players so it’s closer to 1/3rd for that match, players like Cokanasiga aren’t likely to start neither once everyone is back. We’ve been over this before and you see it with SA/Aus especially, once the coconuts get to around about over of 1/3rd of the team the structure, team coherence and discipline tends to break down if they’re playing a decent side. Actually France are the prime example of this, they lack any consistency.

This team would be a blessing for Ireland

I don't know who'll be selected but I think he'll rotate to the "second string" guys, basically lads who didn't or barely played last week like with only a couple retained in the starting 15.

Gatland v Schmidt Rumble in the Jungle before they put another decade of hurt on Wales and Ireland as All Blacks coaches is going to the fucking kino. Bring your favourite lube.

They have a game against Scotland on Saturday. No doubt they were treating this like a warmup. But yeah, the fucking Kings

Come on now lad, was Jackson anything other than mediocre?

I say this all the time but even by today's standards he'd be a fucking monster.

Irish lads, what is the story with the Three Red Kings website and needing to pay to access most of it?
Do ye know anything about that?

Aled Davies is the only real shitter in that team, I'd hope he swaps Scott Williams and Watkin though because Scott is far too slow for 13 these days.
Carre is a big lad and good in the loose but both Furlong and Porter are well capable of shoving his head up his arse at scrum time.

Two years ago yes
Now, absolutely no chance. The only Irish back row who'd get in there based on the warmups so far is possibly VdF for Flouw

I think it’s €2/month for everything? It’s mostly just match reviews and player analysis of Munster.

He's complete shit. Club level bum.

Not-Spain deserves to be beaten remorselessly.

He'll be fine. >We've got probably our most mobile back row possible (apart from maybe Tips for Navidi but that'd be very unbalanced) and all three are comfortable defending in wide channels, especially Davies so there'll be plenty cover there. Scott is probably the biggest defensive liability, he can still make big hits but he's probably slower than half the tight 5 nowadays

mum taught me not to make fun of retards.

Was just wondering because last time I went it wasn't behind a paywall and I was just curious what they'd been saying.
Not a Munster fan so I have no desire to pay to read it for €2 a month but that isn't too bad a price I guess. I thought they might have been taking advantage of people with an unauthorised fan site and trying to profit off of Munster.

The Nips are going to put 100 on them in the opening game.

>Mostert

Why on earth is he your favourite player?

B-but we still have only true russian passport-wielding players in our NT!

Cos he’s nuts, fast af, and unpredictable to defend.

Nowell is my favourite English winger desu, massive /heart/

He is literally a straight line babby.

We have to employ foreign mercenaries to certain positions due to the peewees starting the trend of picking the big island coconut freaks. As long as you’re core is native it’s kinda okay. We all know from the amatuer era that a full team of whiteys will pump coconuts.

Come again?

>As long as you’re core is native it’s kinda okay.
Difine "core". In recent game with Tonga nips has 8 native players, including honorary weaboo Michael Leitch.

more like the ABCs! (all black cunts)

He can run fast... in a straight line... that's his whole game right there.

Perfect winger. Not just that he randomly jumps too at anytime, backs himself when it’s probably best not to and somehow pulls it off alot of the time

Nips shouldn’t really play rug but monies so

Look, Russia probably won't lose that bad. Japan's aiming to get out of their group and your team has nothing to lose - you might even push them to within a converted try. It's just that Russia's not in the same league at this point in rugby history.

What's the point in having one of the last masculine cultures left in the European world if you don't harness it to play full contact sports? Is there not an appetite for something full contact in Russia?

Jacobson in. Franks and Squire out.

idk if I agree with Franks being out. He isn't the most active player but his scrummaging would have at least been good coming off the bench to heem other teams.

A likely outcome. That said, Crotty will probably retire from test rugby after this RWC and I hope he doesn't get injured without playing his fill. Seriously, Hansen is fortunate to have the current depth at centre to choose from.

I'm surprised about Jacobson. Thought for sure Hansen would pick Fifita because he can cover both lock and flanker

Didn't Fifita get injured against Canabree last weekend?

Scotland

Odds on Smith getting injured and missing winning yet another world cup?
0/3 seems like a pretty mice number to retire on

Smells

FUCK

Also do you mean Crotty?

Nope Ben has never been in a team that has won a rugby world cup. Hes been injured so is in the squad, but never in the team that won.

Did you miss him spending 10 mins in the bin during the 2015 final or what?

He started, got a yellow card and set up Beauden's try in the 2015 final

That description doesn't fit anyone in the 31 men squad just announced.

Are you a robot?

I reckon you're talking about two time RWC medalist Colin Slade.

Yep

mate do you have alzheimers or something

He literally kicked the ball for that barret try

He's clearly referring to Wayne Smith, who never won a world cup when he played for the All Blacks because the inaugural RWC happened 2 years after he retired.

Soon NZ will be the only rugby nation with any integrity left.

Because David Pocock is an elite 7. Hooper tackles and runs the ball. You could probably count his total career turnovers on 1 hand.

Owen Franks was an engine room kinda guy.

Depends who they select I suppose, but their 'first' team looks awful right now so I'm not sure what they plan on doing.

I think we will
Just worried how we cope with the Welsh defence since they're great at isolating people

do we unironically stand a chance of winning the cup if we get a lucky draw (ie not face new zealand)? we need to win a world champion at any sport

no lol

Ireland squad out, too. Kinsella was right. Leinster filling the bench.

>Ringrose covering flyhalf
What?

as long as you avoid SA & NZ there's a small chance, but the odds of both missing the final is tiny

...

He steps in at first receiver all the time
I doubt he'll come on with 20 minutes to go or that just Schmidt probably just wants to give him a chance to see how well he could cover it if he needed to in a disaster scenario since both our outhalfs are so injury prone

What did Eddie Jones mean by this

Its the Desperation level Schmidt is having to go to, now we're down to scraps for flyhalf, im surprised they haven't made a phone call to Madigan yet

Have you seen him play recently? We'd be better off calling Hanrahan.

Its a cycle lad, and it will happen again for the next WC, NZ went through this shit for over a decade until they got the timing right, remember all those years they were on 1 WC win while Aus and South Africa were on 2 wins and you had George Gregan with the 4 more years slagging off NZ.

Our time will come

ought to be a cracker

They're in our group so there should be some establishments open for it

Thinking about joining back up with my university’s team boys. They need a flanker but I’ve only played lock. It’s an easy switch right?

You're expected to work harder as a flanker.

It’s not like I’m a lazy fuck at lock

I wasn't saying you are. But flankers do a lot more "visible" work and so it's generally easier to be more anonymous as a lock vs as a flanker. So expect to have to work harder to be regarded as a decent flanker in place of being a decent lock

Understood

what the fuck is with the eir sport ad
the start looks like a shitty phone game

I find playing in the back row easier to be honest. At lock you're usually doing the hard carries off 9, making close in tackles and generally being a cunt in rucks/mauls
Back row you get more freedom and space to play a bit more rugby

This AB team has the weakest back threes I've seen, plus no star winger like J Rocks or Savea in previous World Cups.

enjoying the weather?

there will be in Glasgow if nowhere else

*BB creates an attacking run from literally nothing while on the back foot*
*Reece and Bridge darts round you to link up and score*
Heh nothing personal other team

Any other Welly lads try out some of the burgers in Wellington on a Plate this year?

My bro was there on business and said he can't believe he was conned into some meme burger with squid ink in the bun.

they should have the good games on Friday/ Sat nights

which one of you cunts is rug posting in /f1/

the 'chon broken af

Reece ans Bridge are new names, not comparable to Rocks or Savea, who played RWC whilst having been world’s top wingers for some time

Fatvea had one good game in the World Cup and we won that game by 50 anyway and Rocokoko didn't do shit in the 2003 semi.

Hello I am not a rugby fan but I have a question
How come when Wales played England they were to my untrained eyes utterly and comprehensively outclassed and yet they immediately rose to the top of the rankings after the game? Seems inaccurate if you ask me

the rankings are fucked, dont worry too much about them

In case you're being sincere, it's because rankings are very punishing of top teams losing a game, so when New Zealand lost recently to Australia, they were brought down to the point where a recently consistent Wales can surpass them despite having slim to no hope of beating NZ.

>That canterbury WC Jersey

>It's tonight at ten past 8 (I think) on Vipbox
*Fixed*

Because you lose ranking points when you lose games, who would have thought!

Wales then dropped back down after losing to England, but then went back up after beating them a week later.

>How come when Wales played England they were to my untrained eyes utterly and comprehensively outclassed and yet they immediately rose to the top of the rankings after the game?
Because they won? It's not uncommon in sport for a team to scrape a win despite playing terribly all match.

good stuff

Premier sports ain't bad at all lad Tbh. All the Pro 14 games plus they throw on a load of random internationals too.
Obviously they show other sports but I only have it for the rugby. If they got more rights to even more games/leagues too it'd be great.

If you have a vpn you can watch it on TF1, either. Less of a crapshoot than vipbox and you can probably find English radio coverage.

Post stream for the France - Italy game lads

3 weeks left. get your snacks in

hate how my internet is so shit i can hardly watch this game

You do not want watch it, believe me.

The games are so early I'd probably just be eating grilled black pudding and rashers on buttered toast desu

Other than that might invest in a few frozen pizzas but knowing me I'll probably be drunk for half the games

>this game
wew lad :^)

How's it going?

Was 19-7 France at the pause, they had to play 13 vs. 14 for almost ten minutes. The Italians almost sieged for a good 10 minutes after the first French try. Also penaltry tries because the Italians can't defend for shit.
And now, it 33-7 for France before the 50' mark, game is pretty much dead on the water anyway. Just the first half that was fucking abhorrant.

what a fucking try

USA will be Tier 1 by 2029

Why is Wales's #1 spot causing so much seethe? It's not like Wales have been a bad team, most grand slams of any team in the 6N era and fell into a good run of form just as New Zealand fell into a poor run.

Buttmad Kiwis

Dunno, but they're not as good as England ad defended their way to a GS
They also don't have exceptional players

Ireland probably will go top of the rankings tomorrow and they certainly don't deserve it

>not as good as England
>beat them
next level cope

nah

Yeah, cope, next thing you’ll be saying is that Wales didn’t win, England just lost

>Gatland immediately said everyone would discredit their achievement before they were even number 1 (seething themselves before they even got it)
>Ireland (sports journalists) think they are better than Wales
>English (sports journalists) think they are better than Wales
>Aussie (sports journalists) think other teams are better than Wales
>NZ (sports journalists) just pointed out how the rankings dont really matter in a world cup year if you cant follow it up
Note I think most reasonable people probably think along these lines, the rankings are kind of shit and other ranking systems are better rugbyvision.com/ for example, but being Number 1 when you arent even good odds to get to a semi final shows it's a shit ranking system
>ZSA (sports journalists) have just said they could beat Wales more often then they would beat them atm

All of this is obviously just what I have seen. Actual real people arent seething, the coaches and players dont seem to care about it either (except Gatland who was seething before they even got No.1 for some reason)

uhh, dunno what youre on about "cope"
fuck up unless youve anything intelligent to say

a welsh first team were destroyed by an england second string only two weeks ago and england played the most attractive rugby of all in the 6 nations
and they have the best depth out of any NH side

No way Wales can put in 3 top performances in the knockout stages of the world cup to win it. They may be #1 but I think they're behind NZ, SA and England in terms of chances. Maybe Ireland depending on how they recover too.

Rankings didn't seem to bother anyone until Wales got to number 1. Funny that.

I'd love to hear your theory on why Ireland of all teams are ahead of Wales.

>>never reached a semifinal
i dont think ireland are ahead of wales but it's a bit fucking thick to paint any current Irish side by other teams over 20 years ago

I did say maybe. Although if you want an objective view Ireland are shorter odds at the bookies

we'd better face NZ asap otherwise we gonna get eliminated by japs

I kinda want this to happen
This version of french rugby doesn't deserve to be awarded by a qualification to the quarter finals.
This team is pretty much the rugby equivalent of our football team between 2008 and 2010.

Surely a few of them were better than current Ireland, especially 2011.

>of our football team between 2008 and 2010.

more like between the 60's and 80's

Good comparison too, this shit has been going on for a long time, and it's not going to end soon

Because before that it was arguably correct. You cant tell somethings fucked until it fucks up. And the No.1 in the world not being likely to even get to a semi is a bit of a fuck up I think most would agree regardless of who it was.
Here I think we were predicting Eng or Ire would take the No.1 spot and most would probably have thought that was fair.
The "anyone" it bothers is just journalists who are wrong 70% of the time anyway. People here just had a laugh about how Wales isnt really No.1 or favourites at anything then moved on while posting stupid shit journalists said every so often to laugh at them.

Why isn't it arguably correct now?
In the last 15 games, NZ have lost 3 and drawn 1, Wales have only lost 1.
You can say hurr but they didn't beat NZ so how can they be number 1, but it's exactly the same as when England had that 12 game win streak a few years ago. They were potentially better than NZ but still behind them in the rankings.

If you're consistant enough for a long period then the rankings are fair IMO.

In the last 15 games NZ have played away at South Africa, England, Ireland, Aus. Wales have played away at England (and lost)

If Ireland win tomorrow they go to #1 (or very close). Would they be the best in the world? Of course not.

How you win and lose points is silly in the World ranking system really. You take them from the people you play and lose more depending how much further down the rankings they are than you.
Say NZ and Aus were even on points and we played 10 times in 10 weeks, if NZ won 7 of those in a row, then Aus wins the last 3 they will be higher in the rankings than NZ. But would you say the team that went 3-7 is better than the team that went 7-3?

>No.1 in the world not being likely to even get to a semi
I think most people would put Wales as likely to get to the semis. NZ, the Boks, Wales and one of Eng/Ire
You can say Wales don't perform away, but you then have to factor in that Gatland is one of the best coaches on the planet at getting teams to peak for big games/tournaments. He's done it multiple times at both test and club level

NZ, SA and England are definitely getting in. The last spot is a little less certain. I can't even decide who will win between Australia and Wales in the pool stages, but then the winner will likely play France or Argentina, two teams that can turn up in a WC.
