Bienvenue sur le fil de la coupe du monde de rugby!

What a game….incredible.

Hard on the Irish…..you can’t take anything away from the All Blacks…..so much skill from both teams, top drawer rugby union.

 

Brilliant game of rugby such a shame for Ireland, New Zealand's year now I think.

 

NZ did just enough to get that win Ireland should have won.

 

That's the problem with Rugby - two types of fan:

1 - The fans that only turn up when they think their team are guaranteed to win, usually festooned with all the replica kit, face-paint and will tell you about who they once played with or against at school (hello England), but they actually know very little about the game and can't pronounce Manu Tuilagi but will waffle on about how he was banned from doing weights because he got too big*

2 - Actual rugby fans who follow their team through thick AND thin, who are genuinely nervous before games, struggle to watch the actual game and celebrate more through genuine relief should they win more than anything else.


The problem with the 1st fan - they also tend to be the worst for drinking and having very loud opinions and can't see their own bias when claiming the ref is biased.


New Zealand used to say you only beat Wales on the Scoreboard - hard to argue with that given how many of our fans act both in victory and defeat - I guess some people can't but thrive on being hard done by or robbed and then not recognise that some times we won simply through that happening to the other team.



* its a myth Tuilagi has been robbed of a career given his natural size and over training - he's well known for being a lazy trainer and didn't put any of the base work to staying injury free e.g. stretching.

 

You should have barreled up in a Munster shirt - they love each other, they really do.

 

Extra time anyone ??

Yellow card is going to sting if France keep it up.

 

It looks like a different game altogether doesn’t it.
