About time we had a rugby World Cup thread?
The tournament’s just about to kick off (the All Blacks are doing the bloody Haka yet again).
Wales aren’t going to win (not sure they’ll even get out of their group), so I’ll go for France - would be pleased if they won as well.

Has the Hakka changed?
Seems different to what I remember.

They change the haka every now and then. It seems to lack the intensity it used to.

16-13 to France, yellow card for New Zealand with about 20 minutes to go

With a crowd in Pefkos watching it, two tellies though with the tennis on next to the rugby telly. Thank God for tennis:hehe:

Re: About time we had a rugby World Cup thread?
High quality game, France outstanding with a well deserved win.

Re: About time we had a rugby World Cup thread?
On BBC news tonight they described France as a rugby mad country
That's absolute nonsense
It's way behind football and several other sports in popularity

Wugger is shite, and we know it is.

Re: About time we had a rugby World Cup thread?
France well worth the win .
Lopsided draw at the knockout stages which, potentially puts all the big guns together if I have read it right.
If I were a betting man then my fiver would be on South Africa.

Re: About time we had a rugby World Cup thread?
Not impressed with either team. Both looked rusty and the game was a disappointment for me. Home advantage proved crucial, and the officials need to get their act together. From what I’ve seen tonight, on current form, SouthAfrica would probably have done the pair of them. It’s a win for France, and that’s all that matters to them tonight. Take away the home advantage, and it would have been a different outcome. The other big hitters will not be too worried on tonight’s performance.

England are in utter disarray and I am more likely to be nominated as the lead dancer for the ballet than that happening.

They'll get done by my lot the Argies later on today. Scotland and Ireland will both do better than them I think. Not so much Gales.

The average French man is far more interested in football than rugby

Re: About time we had a rugby World Cup thread?
So much negativity already in this thread.
If you don’t like the game, just bypass the thread.
I hate cricket and F1 with a passion, so wouldn’t waste my time opening a thread on either.
Just waiting on ETHB and Tony Tit to turn up and tell everyone for the umpteenth time how much they hate the game.

Unlike Wales, other countries like Scotland, Ireland, France etc don’t mind minority sports doing well. They get behind them. We’ve still got the “My PE teacher forced me to play rugby” mentality. It’s pathetic really. I prefer football to rugby, always have. But I still want Wales to do well in the 6 nations and WC.

There's a reason why a lot of Welsh football fans can't stand rugby
It's perfectly understandable because of what you mention during school days for many of us and the pathetic and nauseating press coverage we have to put up with
There aren't just a few dissenters on CCMB
Plenty of Swansea City fans I know can't stand Welsh rugby and are happy to say so .

Re: About time we had a rugby World Cup thread?
Some thumping wins this afternoon. The problem with this ‘world game’ is they need utter minnows who wouldn’t beat a local village to turn up to make up the numbers. It will take weeks for this event to get going and doubtless the same two who started it off will finish it.

They want to expand it as well! Any country conceding 50+ points to Italy shouldn't be at a 'World Cup'. It's farcical.
