Rugby World Cup 2023/ Crochet & Knitting chit chat

Argentina in a World Cup is our ultimate bogey team. 1999, 2007 and 2015 were all painful defeats with only a narrow pool win in 2003 for retribution. We always think they’re not as good as they used to be.

Whoever loses the two 8 pm quarter finals can feel aggrieved over the draw.

Bar England the other three sides are shite.

They are literally shite.

They’ve completed the set of World Cup quarter-final victories over the Celtic nations.

Argentina have beaten Ireland twice in World Cup play in France. Beware.

A minimum of a box office 3rd place play off with England is assured for them and a repeat World Cup final pairing of France v Argentina remains alive.

Fair point. Ireland would beat them by 30

Is everyone dismissing Fiji against England tomorrow? They’ve every chance imo

They’ll fuck england up

Doubt it. They looked very tired last week. Would expect to strangle the life out of them.

Bumping this because although it might not happen, it’s beginning to look very plausible.

I actually think the semis will be all second place sides from the pool. All Southern hemisphere- DuPont injury depending . If he’s 100% France won’t have a glove laid on them in semi or final

They didn’t have to try a leg last week. Couldn’t win pool and only a freak miracle would have eliminated them.

Only a try away from freak miracle

As Shane Horgan calls them “the Orgies”.

There was some gobshite in here last week saying Argies were as bad as Italy.
Their 3rd tile in a WC semi-final. Fucks sake.

Probably some fella who’s an expert on every sport and is posting 18 hours a day on here, loves the sound of his own voice.

Fuck it, I don’t recall posting that

Thought the orgies were lucky not to be given a red cord in the second half tbh.
