Rugby World Cup 2019 - Ireland shit the pot all over again

You canā€™t take the Sumoans for granted mate

Theyā€™re exhausted mate, if we hold them for the first twenty minutes we should walk all over the cunts and their pretend haka.

They have a pretend haka we have a pretend anthem

Samoa were very poor against Scotland on Monday. A pale shadow of the Western half of Samoa that made it to a World Cup quarter final to face Scotland in 1991 - cc @anon61878697

Iā€™m pretty confident Scotland will beat Japan, they have to go for it, last chance saloon, etc. Italy beating South Africa is admittedly a long shot, but not sure how good South Africa actually are.

Whatā€™s the craic with Etztebeth bating a homeless fella and pointing a gun at him, is he a mental case or what?

Italy havenā€™t a hope of beating the Saffers FFS sake.

The same South Africa who ran NZ close and look doped off their eyeballs?

Where are Italy and South Africa in relation to each other in the world rankings? Would it be like Japan beating Ireland?

CTE. Itā€™s been a thing with NFL players for years, bound to catch on in rugby.

Much bigger gap between SAF & ITA than OIR & JAP

Vodaphone Ireland were second when they played Japan who were 10thā€¦ Where are SA and Italy?

Thereā€™s a proper thread for this (cc @ChairmanDan) but Iā€™ll answer this once - 5th and 14th respectively. Which canā€™t be right since only 10 countries play rugby football.

5th and 12th ā€¦ try and keep up

so 7 placesā€¦ While there was 8 between Ireland and Japan

Outstanding performance by Italy to jump 2 places since I looked at Wikipedia. :clap:

you thick bastard.

Iā€™m surprised rugby never caught on in Germany

With their traditional teutonic efficiency, theyā€™d have ruled the world had they turned their hands to it

You could imagine them having a fearsome pack and a devastating mauling, rucking and set piece game

Probably because they value their brain cells. Even their beer doesnā€™t give you hangovers.
