Tonga beating eventual finalists France in the pool stages of the 2011 World Cup was a huge shock.

The rugby once every four year soccer crew should just enjoy the rugby and stop trying to reduce everything into soccer terms.

Only Buster Douglas beating Mike Tyson could compare to it

That was a big shock.

A bit like Antrim beating Offaly in 1989

The day Buster Douglas beat Mike Tyson, 11 February 1990 a day which had real historical resonance in the rugby strongholds of Japan and South Africa. The fight was held in Japan and Nelson Mandela was released from prison.

You reckon a team in the top 15 beating another team in the top 15 was the biggest upset ever in team sport? :upside_down_face: - Top wumming mate.

Greece winning the Euros I’d say

Rankings don’t matter FFS! (Except when they do, it’s hard to know with the rubby crowd)

Leicester

World rankings don’t calculate the odds of an out come. It isn’t very difficult to understand.

in fairness, munster have taken plenty of SA rejects

In all fairness to Munster, some of them weren’t rejects they had just been banned for doping.

Bookies who said anything about bookies? The odds of an outcome are a mathematical equation. Nothing to do with a bookie.

so youre trying to say theyve never taken suid afrikaans?

ive a meeting, but ill be back later

I asked who. You said Munster have taken South African rejects. Razzy and the defense coach were head hunted from Munster to take over the South African national team. Hardly rejects.
