apparently some kids sports in Canada now if they heem them too bad, they lose

I didn't know this was allowed. Can a team choose to remove as any players as they want? Anyway, with a 92-0 scoreline, Tonga can't say they're being disrespectful

CARD TIME

13 men lads

That's red.

fucking lucky to get away with that

Should have carded him for being a barrett

I'm not sure about that one. The ABs were not interfered with by Tonga so didn't they have a duty of care to the player in the air considering that none of their own were in the air?

Beauden has also had one for two failed intercept yellows in a SR game.

That's actually reasonable officiating, and more incidences should be examined with the same consideration for the players involved.

Didn't realise the ACC were commentating FUCK

They're dying as heroic figures before South Africa's eventual slump in Zimbabwe 2.0

Only the South Americans – Argentina and Uruguay – are 100% home-grown. New Zealand will be by far the main supplier, with a total of 43 Kiwis lining up for other national teams.
interesting

Goes directly against the current narrative. Turns out Tonga and Samoa have been poaching Kiwis.

Most of Scotland’s “foreign born” players are still from within the UK.

Bullshit penalty

Anyone else going to WC?

Removing the three foreign born from the NZ squad, kiwis make up over 11% of the RWC players.

Didn't know that, source?

Still, if that's verifiably true I won't be surprised. If you include kiwi exports in the rugby coaching, the statistics will probably be more impressive still.

If we ever see French and English rugby players coming to SR to play for their retirement money - boy won't that be the day.

back home lads, hows the game

Only Tupou and Naisarani weren't raised in Australia though.

I have no idea. They lost to Japan, had a win against Tonga, and really should have played another proper warm up game before the RWC

That and Endtroducing..... are the all time GOAT cut-up albums.

They won matches against Canada and Samoa between Japan and Tonga.

How was that not a maul penalty

This is where the foreign-born thing becomes an issue. I reckon it’s better to qualify it by whether a player was raised in the country or not.

Imagine how good NZ would be if the Pacific Islands didn't keep stealing all of our Islanders.

Islanders have more in common with us than you, the white pakeha saxon cunts who colonised them.

Would explain Joe Schmidt then. Islanders tend to realise their potential when kiwis coach them

How many Welsh people even want to be independent? I always thought that Scotland would be more likely to vote for independence than Wales but even they couldn't do it.

Someone needs to tell Russia this isn't American Handegg

Someone correct me if im wrong but am i right in thinking that because the WC is an ongoing tournament that the World Rankings dont get updated until after the competition is over resulting in Ireland being top for basically the next 2 months and that Irish shitters like myself can rub it in Welsh fans faces that we were Number 1 longer than they were?

Australia would have been #1 had rankings started a few years earlier, and France weren't ever really #1 in the world anyway.

I remember dude uploaded the last batch of art somewhere. He might do so again.

No. Each game counts for double.

Lolno, Japan's rankings were updated right after they beat SA four years ago so they briefly rose above Scotland so the thrashing they got from them later on technically counted as an upset.

Embrace it. Revel in the joy before the fall

I mean pro sport. Pro rugby league is inexistent in Russia.

Rugby League does a shit job of promoting itself desu

I think they know it can only be interesting to australian bogans and lads from the Norf.

Could you see it growing?
I don't understand how a full contact sport wouldn't be loved by Russians.

Rugby federation is putting money in it, local pro championship is slowly growing, and NT started playing international games on big football stadiums. But all that isn't helping very much.
Problem is we've got no traditions of playing. Game literally is popular in two small Moscow region towns and in Krasnoyarsk it's their third sport at best. Nobody ever watched it, nobody ever played it, nobody gives a shit.

Get rugby into the school sports curriculum and on free tv and it'll grow.
You've a ready made international rivalry with Georgia too.

This right here is why club rugby is far more interesting to me, you have your 10-15 decent international teams and then anyone below that is just such a drop off that there just isn't any competition, makes for shit viewing

So, Antonio Brown called the GM at the Raiders a cracker and got himself released as a free agent and has been signed by the Patriots.
Burgers are currently spazzing out.

well yeah, this has the potential to be randy moss 2.0

Which rugby team do these people play for?

it's summer - mid autumn sport here because of climate, and our schools closed all summer due to vacation. so no point.
SR is the strongest rugby competition, RWC isn't comparable. That's like in football, where Champions League is much more powerful than any international tournament, WC including.

It's american rugby

How far down the world rankings do you need to go to find a team that isnt full of steroids? Japan or Georgia maybe?

Wouldn't bother lad because you'll stroke out when we beat you yet again in Japan

We're planning on losing an early pool match so we can smash you in the quarters.

So hang on, is not growing or not?
Are there any populated regions where the ground isn't frozen in winter where a schools culture could grow?

and he's black

all of it is true, also they poisoned the all blacks in '95

Dyantyi only just failed his drug test and they put out a pic like this, how are these cheating fucks getting away with it??

Has World Rugby forgotten the 95 WC in South Africa were half the starting NZ team for the final had their drinking fluids spiked and were puking their brains out right before the game??

They have a history of cheating and World Rugby and the sports drug testing companies are in the pocket of all of those who rig western sports, all the big sporting organisations in this world are a fucking joke and a scam

What are you talking about, South Africa is such a nice place to live and is thriving now the evil White Man is no longer in charge

not a /pol/ mong but he literally conspired to blow up buildings

not only cheating but also match fixing with bookies, /rug/ might not know Hansie Cronje but I'm old and vaguely remember his death.
