Thread: Does the UK rugby season finally end today?

  1. #1

    Does the UK rugby season finally end today?

    16 July and the summer tours by the home nations are still going on - the season lasts eleven months now.

    Not a great one for predictions normally, especially in sports where my interest has waned so much over the past twenty years, but I'd say the All Blacks will just about see off Ireland, England will beat Australia, South Africa will beat Wales fairly comfortably, but I hope it's not by too much because Wales deserve better than a thrashing after the efforts in the first two games and Scotland beat Argentina by so much last week that I have to think they'll win again tonight.

    I think you’ve got the winner right although I don’t see the South African attack putting lots past us. That said I think they’ll have the lions share of the ball and we won’t threaten much. Another attritional game that they’ll win by 10.

    England will dish out the hiding imo.

    Ireland with the first try after 3 minutes. Conversion missed.

    I’m thinking that the Southern Hemisphere teams hit back today and my prediction is that only Scotland will win ,although that is a 50/50 call.

    I’m afraid that such is my dislike for Welsh rugby that I am hoping for a emphatic Boks win.

    I hope we get a decent ref today as frankly the first test was a farce and the second marred by some howlers.

    SA haven't stood out as impressive by any means and our boys have pleasantly surprised us all.

    Would be great if we could do the job.

    Ireland have been superb and NZ have been awful.

    Looks like my first prediction is going slightly wrong. Ireland have been very composed and effective, but this is the first time I’ve watched the All Blacks live in a while - what on earth’s happened to them?

    Amazing how some rugby haters on here, are drawn to rugby threads like a moth to a flame.

    They are back in it.

    Foster is the worst coach they've had.

    I agree. I would never want to see Wales lose, let along get a hammering. Even if by us losing helped England progress in a World Cup.

    Actually if we could prevent England progressing a WC I would take a loss.
