Rugby World Cup 2023/ Crochet & Knitting chit chat

After seeing the way they played in dismantling the AB’s in the Twickenham test before the tournament, mine too.

You didn’t enjoy the 2013 Munster title when we were nowhere near winning all Irelands?

They mean something to some people

They’re worthless to a team aiming for higher.

Going all out to beat South Africa was fine. Going all out to beat fucking Romania etc was the killer. Sexton couldn’t walk by the end of the game. Should have been minded better

Miracle. Sean Finn got his around same time and we hoping to have him for first round of c’ship next year.

This cunt is back out playing in world cup tournaments while finn still in crutches.

Miraculous recovery. Transplanted ACL from his elderly father has even been spouted.

That pre tournament friendly where SA doled out a hiding to NZ is going to come back to haunt them.

House, mortgages etc on NZ now.

Ze Saffers are a bit like the German soccer team of old. You can never rule them out. They grow into tournaments and find a way to win le crunch ties. Beating a top French team in their own home patch is no mean feat.

Worthy favs at this point. Odds on for an old firm final. They’ve seriously big men, some even have hands of shovels, which will be used to crush the NZ ceremonial sword and haka.

Shows how good ireland are when they beat both of tonight’s two teams this year. Farrell has them playing some great rugby

Boks were way better than Ireland. If we had a kicker we would have rightly topped the group and Ireland could have beaten France. Ah well. All Blacks world cup final is played last night, they can’t get through this boks defence. Ireland got cocky, and all who really stood up were kiwis an Aussie and Hugo Keenan. The pride came before the fall.

Lads are trying to look very smart here.

There wasn’t ever going to be much between France and South Africa. The Kolbe block down ended up being the difference.

In fairness to France they lost a few great players to injuries too.

Rassie and Nienbar are some operators

Throw in every pro rugby team while you’re at it.

I’m not aware of any performance enhancing drugs that would allow quicker rehabilitation of a bad knee injury tbh.

Ah leave him off, he was very amusing last night seething away at South Africa

This tournament turned into a non event very quickly. Does anyone really care which one of South Africa, New Zealand or England win?

Any of the first 3?

It’s a total fcuk up as 4 top teams met in 1/4 finals . Do they not seed the groups or is it just done too far in advance of competition?

They done it two years in advance to help the
Tier two and tier three countries be able to fund the trip.
