big fan of Fukuoka lads.

Well, you know what they say lads
get fucked Waikato.

Been giving Fukuoka post game blowies since high school here lads

My family hosted Fukuoka as a 13-year-old schoolboy on a rugby trip. We became firm friends and he is my favourite player.

Gave Fukuoka a hi five once, we are basically best buddies

Fukuoka is basically nz/rug/'s boy and has been for years.

pff you hadn't even heard of him before the NZ lads told you about him.

Fukuoka.

Very kinetic posts, so far.

Seriously no pressure on Japan thanks to England.

I know man.

I was just watching some of Connacht's preseason games there, and granted the opposition is shit, the rugby played there is just so much better than the paint by numbers crap Ireland do.

The whole game-plan is based on out muscling the opposition. We've already seen against England how badly it works when the other team is bigger than you, and the same thing will happen if we meet South Africa. I honestly think we'd have a better chance if we met New Zealand in the quarters, seeing as our style is designed mainly to negate theirs. We are certainly the anti-All Blacks in our refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement.

Pretty much all 4 provinces play more entertaining rugby than Ireland

Losing to two of the pre-tournament favourites and what are historically the two best teams in the history of rugby wouldn't be bottling it.

is there an Irish of this lad? want to run with it, it's good.

Not necessarily. Leinster and Munster actually hew pretty close to them in certain ways, although I will grant that Leinster are more exciting than either Ireland or Munster. They just look impressive because of the level of opposition. When Leinster met an on form and fit Saracens they were blown away because they couldn't compete physically, while Munster are so over physical that they stutter when they are simply matched, let alone out-matched. Leinster are, like Ireland, are a breakdown reliant team with powerful forwards. A lot of the similarity obviously comes from the number of Leinster lads starting for Ireland. Kearney offers nothing outside his aerial ability, Henshaw has regressed since leaving Connacht into a boring Kevin Maggs clone. Sexton is the primary decision maker on the team and everything goes to pot when he loses the head. Lowe is primary spark that differentiates the two, but his presence is overstated. If Leinster were truly the exciting attacking team the media hype machine says, why couldn't they make room for their most exciting attacking player ahead of Fardy or JGP last year?

I don't think Scotland fans could handle more disappointment. They seem pooicidal after the last few six nations

we're going to let them beat us and they'll get top of the pool, they'll be delighted until the saffers bash them

Im thinking Earls and Carbery's fitness isn't good enough to be brought to the WC and both should have been left at home with 2 of either Marmion, Addison or Cooney going instead

Imagine being beaten by Scotland and then not making it out of the quarters
Irish around the world would be looking for a rope

Surprised Cooney didn't make the squad Tbh, he had a good season.

what does pride come before?

I can't understand how you're looking forward to anything to do with one of the dullest teams in the history of international rugby. Seriously each game featuring Joe Schmidt and his pals from the Leinster Academy as they play assorted opponents has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the over abundance of rucking, the team's only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of possession, all to make the attack unmagical, to make the gainline seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Schmidt vetoed the idea of Zebo playing at fullback; he made sure the running game would never be mistaken for a try-scoring avenue that threatened anybody, just ridiculously predictable cross-field running by Kearney. The Irish team might be anti-English (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-New Zealand in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the grand slam was good though
"No!"
The playing style is dreadful; the rugby was terrible. As I watched, I noticed that every time we wanted to work the ball out of our half, the game plan instead required that Murray "box kick away possession."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that play was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Schmidt's mind is so governed by repetition and pre-programmed moves that he has no other style of playing. Later I heard a lavish, loving review of this style by the same Warren Gatland. He said something to the effect of, "If these kids are being coached by Joe Schmidt at their national team, then when they get to the Lions they will be ready to play for me." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you play for Joe Schmidt you are, in fact, trained to play Warrenball.

going to smash the shit out of Saturdays games though
Aus v Fiji before France v Argies then NZ Saffers

frogs/pumas should be good

hope the argies make it out of their pool, they're my second team that I'll support after Ireland crash out

Thats a fine and muscular post.

I hope Joe gets the All Blacks job and quickens their demise

You better watch the opening ceremony and Japan v Russia

Cazzies OUT

Friday night opening ceremony and match. Sat night ABs big game. what a rush

You'll either be in rugby bliss come Sunday or rock bottom. There's nothing more demoralising than losing your first game.

hmm

hi-octane rugby, full kinetic

it's our big one for sure, straight into it, but if we lose one, it can only be that one

Don't think I'd object to a NZ/SA final with one team out for redemption Tbh.

Fucking pissed off lads. We had a cup game last week (against a team in the same league as us, so comparable opposition) and I played really well, carried loads, made my hits and got three pilfers, one was a crucial one after they made a linebreak and I'd tracked back across most of the pitch to get there about 5 seconds before any other forward.
We've got the first league match at the weekend and I've been dropped because I don't jump at the lineout, the coach even said that my open field play was great but they've gone for a 'lineout oriented' team.
Fucking cunts I tell yis

tbph, and I'm not being a wank, I'd like to see some other nations have a go. I love rugby and love the ABs winning but we can't just win all of them, it devalues the game as a legit international sport.

don't be such a fat cunt and play outside centre, or start jumping like coach says

coward punch the coach at HT lad

I read that as this Saturday and had a panic I agreed to do shit with the missus Saturday night
Next Saturday shes away so sorted

I am starting to jump, it's just a dumb thing to drop me for when I haven't actually played badly

Not if you arent filling a key requirement they want in that roll

line-outs at (what i presume is) that level aren't really competitive tho

It's not a high level but it's not shit by any stretch
The lineouts are pretty competitive a lot of the time, like we usually get 4 or 5 steals a game

how often do you concede possession at the line-out?

Yeah, it's a fair point that locks are usually main jumpers rather than secondary options
But on the flip side I'm a better scrummager and much better over the ball, so it's swings and roundabouts

Maybe once or twice? Our lineout generally is one of the best in our league, it's only if we try one of the more complex calls that we lose one

Listen user, your coach is right. I'm sorry that you're after getting dropped but you need to accept that it's the coaches decision and you need to improve your jumping or whatever he wants you to do. Talk to your coach and ask him what you need to do, and you can let him know you're not happy about being dropped he'll help you. Communication is key.

sit quietly and let him see how much he’ll miss your production, then smile extremely smugly when he asks you to come back in

This, even if you dont work on it he knows you want to improve and are trying
Not this

We've never got past a quarter so obviously no, unless you mean in the pools. We've "knocked out" Wales and Argentina before in the sense that they're nations that would have a reasonable expectation of making the knockouts but we did by beating them in the pools to qualify as the 2nd best team at their expense.

Wait, the US is ranked 13th in the world in rugby union? Holy shit people joke about soccer being a women’s sport but only private college lesbians play rugby in this country. 13th?

And 15th in rugby league? Lmao.

US is also current reigning rugby back to back Olympic gold medal winners

the world rankings are really fucked, don’t put too much stock into them
You guys are pretty shit, you barely beat a Scotland C team a year back

this is rugby union, aka the better rugby
league is really only popular in Australia, a little bit in NZ, and the north of England

national sport of Papua New Guinea

not really a big sporting nation though is it

I know the difference. I’m shocked we are even ranked in league at all.

I think league is pretty popular in NZ but its regional, basically Auckland and Wellington. half of the nrl is kiwi.

yeah i’ve never actually heard of a US league team

What did we do, get a bunch of Lartaveuses to bully your Ngubus?

sleeping giant if only they'd stop eating each other and being corrupt cunts in government

yeah but union would be more popular surely

Nah mate, just get all the high school footballers that were good players but not smart enough for college into league and get all the undrafted college grads into union

oh yeah definitely. but when I go watch Auckland club league it's just as good a level as club rugby.

Guttered for Jacobson 2bh. Never been a fan of Frizell.

what happened

Just be grateful your union team has a flattering rank, they're going to get slaughtered by the other teams in their group.

You should be watching your sevens team, they're genuine world beaters in that game

Out of the WC with delayed concussion symptoms. And then Frizell has been called in as the cover.

Mfw Scotland have reached more semifinals than Ireland.

France. Then they crash out of their own WC four years later and hire a foreign coach for the first time ever, like with England.

knocked the scab off a couple of beers at my desk.

Like I said, American lesbos play rugby

Frizell's at least reliable and has more caps. But yeah gutted for Jacobson, this would've been a great opportunity to blood him and potentially have a seasoned loosie for France 2023

Can never remember if I rated Frizell or Fifita.

13th is pretty generous given the current state of US rugby. Expect a shift after the world cup

frizell is excellent although his form this year was a bit worse than usual

Frizell is a specialist loosie, Fifita can cover both lock and flanker. Both are pretty mobile, but neither are at Cane or Savea's level.

Frizell makes more of an impact at test level

No one is going to waste their friday night watching this utter heeming are they?

It's a shame. I always feel bad for the smaller teams who probably don't get paid much and play to small crowds.

Winner of Premiership and winner of Super League should play each other. Two games. Home and away. Home team's rugby code for each match. If in case of two draws or each team winning one match, who have scored more tries wins the series.

Do you mean NRL Premiership? I'm after reading this twice.
I'd watch it but not a fan of how many tries as any kind of tie-breaker.
It'd be fun if the English soccer Premiership played the Super League winners over soccer and rugby.

The boomers also don't know it. It's too old.

Extra time as tie-braker?

am pissed

For example, both nations have the same number of 6N Grand Slams. Ireland most recently in 2018, but Scotland in 1990. Ireland still holds the record number of wooden spoons in 6N. Freshcunt Irish bandwagoners have no idea how grim Irish rugby was until a few years ago. The delusion is real but I love it when they crash and burn.

you picked Harbour for the BP and that's all that matters.

IIRC the minnow games were surprisingly all sold out. The matches that were slow to sell out were based on location - Oita stadium. I think up until a month ago you could still purchase tickets to the matches there (Wales v Fiji and Oz vs Uruguay)

Perfect pick no less.

grim but those last three were all upsets so not surprised

Headsaid cunterbury but always gotta back the boys in the blue and white. There was a heap of money being poured into Dabanaki very late in the piece which dropped their odds by a dollar so I got spooked that the gamblers knew something I didn't and changed my pick. The Bay really should have rolled wellington but what can you do.

World Rugby ranking system is retarded. Ireland are ranked top despite never having won a knockout game at the World Cup, and before that it was Wales, who've never once beaten New Zealand in the pro era.

The US is definitely a top 20 team though. All the Six Nations and Rugby Championship teams are ahead of you, as well as Japan, Fiji and Georgia. Samoa and Tonga are tighter though. Would be a coin toss. Uruguay and Canada are ranked behind you but could give you a run for your money. The US has gotten a big advantage recently by establishing a pro league, so players are training on a much better level than most European teams or the Pacific islanders.

we're intrinsically number #1

rich people here care about it to differentiate themselves from the plebs playing soccer

right so, the reality is that if we manage to escape the group and win the quarter, it will be our best ever world cup performance.

All of those look awesome. I wish Germany was better at rugby so we could have one too. I'd also love to see all of them.

As long as you have a worthy pure Irish player to step in and take that 12 jersey, you'll be fine.

ITV has the WC coverage right? I haven't even checked yet. Could be worse I suppose, wonder if they'll butcher world in union again, or if it'll be some cool samurai/Jap themed one.

THE WUUUOOOOOORLD ASSSSSSS ONUUUEEEEE

Still disgusts me to this day.

reminder that the rugby world cup starts next week and we are the currently world's number #1 in the world so please feel free to visit /rug/.
I'm considering doing a rugby primer thread for newbs also.

I like this version better than the shite you have now but you really do need a redesign of your flag

Preferably without another Countries flag in the corner, you and NZ need to sort that shit out pronto

Just played my first rugby match ever after two weeks of training. I've been tackled really hard. During the training sesions we never got that physical and wasn't expecting such an impact, nevertheless I still wanted to play more since I only played 'bout 15 minutes. Coach said I had loadsa potential (am a pretty fast dude) but that I have to work on knowing the game (rules) and technique.

Are there any games that I *must* watch? Any good yt channels bout rugby?

Stats are 1,84 and 85 kgs, currently playing as second wave of the scrub, left wing. Sorry if this is off-topic, but I didn't want to create a new thread. I'm enjoying it a lot thus far.

My first recommendation would be /rug/'s guy, Peter Breen. He's got some good videos out with some of the best players in the world.
youtube.com/channel/UCr64J5hqL8uT9HAbWxPvc-g/videos

Gareth Thomas has got HIV the big Welsh poof

>second wave of the scrub
huespeak has been replaced by spicspeak

If the big star on the left is moved up to centre and remove the union flag, easy solution and takes care of the issue with it. But it's not popular to change it so no need for a fuss over it, and if it gets changed dumbarses will want it to be yellow and green and have a kangaroo and a boomerang on it or some shit.
I don't know, I fly the boxing kangaroo flag at sports if anything.

Lol fucking hilarious, all that cock up his arse came at a terrible price.

Couldn't have happened to a better child rapist, lets see if the media continues to have him in the spotlight as their gay pin up god, something tells me they wont

It's hardly going to make much difference. He's had it for over a year at least, and he's still healthy. It's not the death sentence it was in the 80s and 90s.

I'll defo give RWC a watch this year, got into through the latest Six Nations

>i'm revealing it now because i want people to stop thinking it's a death sentence and end the stigma
>but gareth, everyone knows that. if you're so proud why didn't you say this when you were first diagnosed
*almost immediately*
>blackmailers forced gareth thomas to reveal he has hiv
So basically, he wanted to go on meeting new partners without letting them know but has been stopped, and now he's spinning it as brave. So inspirational. I hope Guinness make an ad about this.

Are you from Britain or just living there? Who will you support?

>He's had it for over a year at least

And the media only decide to release this a week before the WC, thats some timing

Am an Englishman, sadly whacked from the Welsh and embarrassed by the Scots this year. Cheer on England, I will.

England has a hard group, there'll be some big matches early on. It'll be grand, I'll be watching every match myself and an currently developing a recipe for breakfast nachos grandé.

I normally sleep in on weekends, but I'm going to make lots of nice World Cup breakfasts. Starting with this next week
youtube.com/watch?v=gBJjRYk0yC0

Yeah bit puzzling that one.

Looks bloody delicious, I'll personally be demanding a Full English every gameday. USA & Tonga will be interesting, France & Argentina will be terrifying. I think you'll have a better time in your pool.

Squidge you little weasel, you better not show your face down Asda or I'll stamp your little face into the ground.

Why yes I do support England, how could you tell.
