>Club rugby still goes on during the RWC

Can one of you non-cazzies expalin to me why they don't just do the RWC in the Summer?
They wouldn't be competing with soccer, they wouldn't be competing with cricket as long as they choose a different time zone, and they won't have to intercede with the club rugby season.

An autumn world cup just seems to fuck over everything.

Did not read.

Why shouldn't the club rugby just keep going during the world cup? I'm struggling with your premise

Rugby is a winter sport, players might die. The club rugby seasons in most leagues get delayed during a WC year anyway.

because it detracts the highest talent away from the league?
it seems like the top teams will suffer more than the shitter teams because they have more to lose?

You should be able to beat Tonga. Might meme a win against Argentina.

Kek, I admire your in-advance planning. Your dedication to shit posting has not gone unnoticed.

USA beat Scotland not long back - their first EVER win over a Tier A nation.
So I can say without a doubt this is the best the USA has ever been ever.

You will win one game and it will be against Tonga.

I hope we show that level of heart this world cup

Yeah I figure it's worth getting up for

>USA beat Scotland not long back - their first EVER win over a Tier A nation
This is a little deceptive because they kept their best players off the pitch that game. Still, winning by 2 points in a last-minute finish really was exciting. It was an excellent game.

Fucking right I am, only games I won't watch live are during the week, which I'll record anyway.

Yeah, they're in our group. I'm watching all of our pool games and most of the other matches too. Based NEETLYFE.

>every Irishman is /pol/tato

Wellies will get us playing scintillating attacking rugby. Backed up with Edwards's physical defence we'll demolish all comers and walk into the final

I think world cups are times every red blooded /rug/rat wishes they were neet.

I was just going for (You)'s, really. Exposing the freshies.

We beat Scotland’s Z-team

Only game I'm probably missing is Namibia vs Canada at 4:15.

Tonga got rekt 98-0. You're well within the ability to beat them.

You're not even him, lmao

The trick is to stay up for that one

Then I’d only end up too bollocksed to see Japan vs Scotland. I have put thought into this

England were the better team almost all game 2bh.

How do you get caught by the anti gambling rules? It's so easy to hide it

They like taking a gamble with hiding it mate, come on. Think of it like public sex or exhibitionism.

Ah so when he puts his accumulater on he has a cheeky J Arthur Rank?

aye mate, you never got a tingly feeling whenever you've bought something you probably should have for more than you should do? well I have. I don't bet but it's possible he gets off on it all. but the risk of getting caught is also a buzz in and of itself.

Just matched with a black girl on tinder lads.

Can you stop asking this s**** you monotonous faggot

Because it's spring.

All this seething and filtering of Irish and we're literally on your side (this week) you mighty lads

Poor attitude to have, you want to win a WC, you've gotta be prepared to beat anyone. Not pussy away from tough draws.
Make the cunts seethe even more I would.

I will lad, cheers. As I said earlier, thanks for the support. It's a lot of effort tho.

What will happen when she sees your tiny white penis?

>this is better than any black cock any day as it doesn't look like a snickers bar

In our case, the very top players rarely play provincial and very rarely club. This just means more spots for the up-and-coming players and opportunities for lads who are 3rd or 4th best in the country etc. It's always been this way, but it works here because of our player pool. I could see it not working in countries like Ireland I guess.

You're not you when you're hungry m8

Ireland unironically have the best club level support on the planet.

Good thread, OP.

probably, and also don't really care if the clubs have their internationals or provincial rep guys playing or not because they basically never do. Club rugby is club rugby.

I'm going with unironically finding a snickers bar more appetizing than a raw white sausage.

slim

if Eng and NZ top their groups (which they are tipped to do by the bookies) then they'll face each other in the semis

Unless Wales beats England...

About the same chance as Brasil has

obviously, I meant they'd be on the same side of the bracket
I.e. eng nz final wont statistically be the most likely

Because, Fuck You

Correct. You seem to be the first person to gather how statistics work, good to know at least one person here passed third form maths.

With how the bracket plays out and statistically particular teams are more likely to win those matches you end up with the chart.

Why don't you go back there dickhead

What's left? Canada, Russia..?

Samoa as well, I think.

Because the voting system turns any conversation into an echo chamber and wrong think is downvoted to oblivion. Also, you should fuck off back there. It's absolute clown world when a fag who gets AIDS is considered fucking disgusting on 4chinz and lauded as a hero over there.

I was 6'2 aged 14, we destroyed every state school and only lost to the public schools with proper funding, coaches and shit. Sadly the team wasn't managed correctly. We all had Welsh rugby teachers who didn't care unless you played football or rugby for an outside group and had no actual quality to justify this shit. For example, playing one of our rival schools, I plough through 5 people to get a try. I am then immediately subbed off despite me winning the game for us and being the only guy able to get through.

Oh I also played 14. We never actually played particularly hardcore in positions. For example, I would be moved from Left/Right wing to act as a prop simply because I was bigger than everybody. I still chuckle that we absolutely twatted the other rival school like 38-0 or something and they were major fucking tryhards. You know, right down to coded line-out calls.

In any case, it's a shame you guys failed to get to host 2023. Would have been kino. Instead we're going to see France crash out of the pool stage of their own World Cup.

It was 3000. You outnumbered the British 2:1 and even if you include both forces in the area the British had, you STILL outnumbered them. You lost x10 the amount of forces and x10 the amount in wounded. A peace was done in order to bring proper reinforcements down.

You’ve not countered it though. You’re dismissing it because you can’t say it isn’t true. Rugby is well watched and well attended generally. Some people might not care about rugby here but a decent number do. You can get lathered up over it if you want but those are the facts.

Sorry I meant 'we' not you.

/pol/tato on his proxies, lad. Just ignore it. Watch there suddenly be an influx telling you you're a soiboy or a cuck or something or me.

not really though
more people watch and play soccer
horse racing has more interest
and it's no where near gaa popularity

just saying, you seem to have taken offence to me expressing my opinion, though that's all you're doing too
i dont know where you live or where youre from but my opinion reflects what ive observed in rural irealnd and among family which id say is pretty typical of most of the country outside of urban areas

All those off-book business financials coming home to roost. Someone’s been spilling the beans.

...

I don't know who's trolling who anymore.

for the record i am genuinely obsessed with rugby and it's my favourite sport and I love it and am a former ear-marked leinster academy player by many so im not trying to misrepresent what i think
it's really just an observation

>I'm a failure, listen to me!
Shan't be.

Probably shouldn’t have led with declaratives and “my incredibly accurate observations” if all of a sudden you’re just expressing your opinion.
And it’s possible for multiple sports to be popular. High viewership and high attendance for all the sports you mentioned. There’s a significant gulf between Rugby and, say, Cricket here.

Just want to say that I'm a Dub and I like Kerry, as a county and as a peoples, and I'm not a fan of the bullying itt. And the Kerryman was right, all he said was rugby isn't popular at his place in buttfuck nowhere.

If you've not been to Kerry in the winter you should consider it, gorgeous place, deer running free and snow on the mountains. Also had the best toasted cheese of my life one January morning at a cafe in Killarney, 'twas -1°c sitting outside so's I could smoke and seen a little lad with his mammy walking past, he was bawling his eyes out and wearing a Munster jersey. I'll never forget the steam rising from his tears.

>Fuck the eu
I agree with this, you know... we could fuck the EU, together. Rejoin the UK and we don't allow the EU to use Ireland as a pawn in some meme Fourth Reich game. But you won't. Hell, you can just join an Anglo Federation or something, so you're own thing, but we have a special agreement in place.

Thats very poetic and all but who the fuck are you talking to or talking about??

>Rejoin the UK
>Trying to convince us to leave one big corrupt union to rejoin smaller corrupt union

Unions between different cultures dont work, you still dont see this even though you see whats wrong with the eu, theres a reason why we have borders and why they are now being reinforced

This is genuinely pathetic

yeah but isn't it better to be in a smaller corrupt union and maintain the autism border agreements than you being in a big corrupt union and the border agreements being used as some card by the big corrupt union to punish the smaller corrupt union?

I think its better we have one big break from the corrupt big union and we all go our own way and manage our own affairs, Its working for Switzerland and Iceland

Here lads you know what I want to discuss in this rugby union general? Geo-politics but angry and stupider.
Anyway the teams are out for the opener. Japan gonna put the boots the Russians, medium style.
>rugbyworldcup.com/match/japan-russia#lineups

yeah lad, but we're in a bit of a sticky situation because you lads got uppity the last time we tried to go our separate ways. you rejoining or being part of a federation (ie; what you are essentially now in everything bar name, you can vote for our PM, have free movement outside of EU shit etc) would prevent that happening. Make Great Britain and Ireland again and everything can be like it is atm, self contained legislative bodies that make rules for their own specifically country and have a load of MP's for joint decisions. You get Ireland reunited, the Norns get their part of UK deal and the EU can't screw us around.

Hard no to all of that there buddy. Also do us an absolute solid and tell me how this relates to rugby.

>but we're in a bit of a sticky situation because you lads got uppity the last time we tried to go our separate ways

No, we tried to get out, you tried to keep us in and we handed you your arse, the Northern Ireland situation was created by your people not wanting to let go

After 700-800 years of occupation its clear you haven't learned nothing, you still try to control whats not yours, which is why in 10-20 years there will be no UK, the Scots and Welsh now see what we saw 100 years ago

It's going to be like Sakhalin except better for Japan.

Can't wait till we teach America a lesson about how football (of the rugby variety) is really played

Cancelling the Mitre 10 Cup for the World Cup would be like cancelling the local community games for the Olympics. The player overlap isn't there. Competitions like the Top 14 going ahead is ridiculous though and clubs there and in England have pressured players from smaller countries to retire from international rugby. It makes a farce of what's already a lopsided tournament.

Imo overlap is fine as long as the matches don't clash. The players will want to watch the World Cup too.

16th Endo against Wales
15th Gareth Davis vs England
14th Jauzion vs Poo Peeland

12th Hamilton vs Australia
I should note this isn't necessary the best skilled/played try, but they also included how important it was (ie, a game winning try would be placed over a better looking one that was irrelevant to the game).

pre-2000? Pretty good but not as good as people would give it credit for their RWC run by 1999.

To give the bigger lines :
- 1996, 1997, 1998 were great 5Ns-wise with two grand salamis (I remember that, when I was a kid, the 1997 one was truly a big deal because of the win at Twickenham) but with a noteworthy and heavy loss against South Africa in 1997 in the friendlies in the last game at the Parc des Princes. And they played some irrelevant tournament comprised of Argentina, Italy and Romania.
-1999 was weird : the team did a shitty 5Ns run by literally spooning, made a normal run in the pool stages while surprisingly struggling with Namibia then truly turned up in the knockouts. I can't point on why they ultimately lost to Australia in the finals, but it was told that they saw themselves being on par with the '98 football World Cup winners.

Plenty of great players were tested during these years : Thomas Castégnéde (before his injuries, he was fucking great), Christophe Lamaison, Philippe Bernat-Salles, Olivier Magne, Fabien Pelous while Jean-Luc Sadourny, Abdelatiz Benazzi were on their last years.
