Rugby World Cup 2023/ Crochet & Knitting chit chat

Coming into it now.

That Marcus Smith has some amount of hype about him for a barely noticeable player at test level

Did the lad Arundell have the ball in his hands once in that half?

Cipriani part 2. Looks a world beater when arriving on the scene. Wouldn’t bate eggs

Is Rassie not the South African coach? Always thought Nienabar was his assistant.

Oh yes

3 horrific tackle attempts but that was a lovely try. Fantastic acceleration.

Oh no

Some minute there

From the sublime to the ridiculous.

I was expecting a bit more of a slog. Decent viewing so far

Two bad teams. Ireland would have beaten the pick of them if they’d got this far. Still they inspired the nation.

Nah, cipriani was just not quite right in the head, but what aplayer. Absolutely brilliant. Marcus Smith is a model pro, but as yet hasn’t shown it quite despite that. He reminds me of an early day CR7. Stepover stepover tackled dive.

We’d have found a way to lose to either of these in a Quarter final tbf

In iotv England have just replaced one total cunt at scrum half with another.

In fairness they won’t have to wash Arundells gear.

A rale clane togs

Jesus, whats with the Spice Girls blasting out over the PA, talk about an atmosphere killer.

Smith has a lovely O’Gara manner of turnstiling

He was brilliant too few areas to be brilliant overall. Brilliant 10s master consistency with game control which cipriani was never able to achieve.
