Up your bollix orange bastards. Paid the price for bringing all the crocked old lads. Last 10 minutes was high drama.
Should Japan be in the main tournament or that second or third tier competition you’re advocating?

South Africa will be in the third tier anyway.
What a world cup. Balls of steel from the japs. Australia are gonna win this out.
Fuck South Africa

The problem for Japan is that they now have only a four day break before they go up against a fresh Scotland in Gloucester. The Scotch, inevitably, will pick them off comfortably.
The crafty Saffers still notched two handy bonus points in defeat. Fascinating group now, nonetheless.
Isn’t it amazing what an accidental overdose of gamma radiation can do.

Like I said earlier, Scotland could be the surprise packets of this tournament.
Surely the Japs have this wrapped up
France and Italy are going to make utter shit of each other here. Joe Schmidt must be laughing his arse off tonight.
Have referee’s just turned a blind eye to players being off their feet at rucks in World Rugby?
Ireland got pinged for it today anyway. Rugby laws and rules are jokeshop anyway.

A French player just did a bellyflop on top of a ruck & that Saffer cunt of a ref just waved play on.
How did they draw the groups for the the WC? They look all lobsided.
Aussies, English and Leek eaters, three perennial power nations of the egg chasing game, are all in one group.
South Africa, who apparently are shit enough to get beaten by the Japs, are in a group with Scotch, the perennial punching bag of Europe, the Yanks and some small south Pacific island.
Fuck sake, even the fucking GGA wouldn’t come up with such a lobsided set up.
Went down to rankings at a point in time.
Wales had lost to Samoa and Argentina in a 10 game losing streak so their ranking was shite. Samoa were seeded second as were Argentina with ourselves and England. Wales and Scotland were in pot 3 with Italy and Tonga.
Luckily Declan Kidney still bagged the occasional draw and decent win and didn’t have a streak like the Welsh
Another shock on the cards?
Aregentina beating the All Blacks by 13-9 39mins in.
some game on here, joe schmidt must be gulping hard looking at the argies
Kiwis down to 13 also, there’s two in sin bin right now.
