The Rugby Thread (Part 1)

fuck it, Ireland by 2. In Kidney we trust.

Good game of rugby on sky sports 2 now between England and Australia…Cipriani v Giteau…Twickenham seems to be rocking…

yeah cause those upper class english rogbee fans are famous for creating an intimidating atmosphere:rolleyes:

Scotland are leading South Africa 10-0 at the start of the second half…FFS South Africa seem to be going to the dogs under De Villiers…lucky to beat Wales last weekend…France are beating the Pacific Islands also

just logged on to check the implications for the world cup ranking but the south africans have just gone over in the corner.

not over but the scots have tackled themselves to a standstill.

i thought the ELVs were meant to improve the game as a spectacle? this is munster senior cup stuff.

England Oz match isn’t bad but is by no means a classic…Stuart Barnes is after getting thick because th English fans keep booing when Matt Giteau is kicking…

fcuk it.
come on the jocks.

Oz are after scorig a try through ashley-cooper in the corner…game all but over now 28-14…Giteau is some classy bit of stuff…
Johnson has his work cut out for with this england team, far too many passnegers…The All Blacks could well make clean shit of them next week

springboks getting away with blue murder there at the breakdown.

if the scots had a kicker of AIL standard, they’d have won this.

good result for ireland, but christ there’s no justice in sport sometimes.

Hope “Drico” gets speared.

what way is he wearing his hair today?

Smashing start to the game by Toms O’Leary considering we’re on the back foot and he’s dealing with messy ball.

and he could be the only InterCounty Cork man there for some time

they are saying he is not 100%.

Neither is the hair to be honest.

I’m really trying to like rugby but a large chunk of the game is spent kicking the ball out of play and then we get punished and give up 7 points for someone knocking the ball out of play. So, there’s actually a law that prevents you from flicking the ball away from an opponent? Jokeshop. Paddy Wallace should be brought on for the second half.

Great try there for the Blacks, in all honesty they havebeen the far superior side and fully deserve that interval lead.

Is O Gara’s new tactic of laterally kicking penalties instigated by a show of solidarity with the hurlers?

Some kick in the bollocks there with tommy bowe…thems the breaks…scrappy game but the intensity is high…contesting well at the breakdown and the lineout has sttled well after a shaky start…wallace, o leary, hayes, o connell and o driscoll the pick of the bunch…

Blacks tearing the wankers one now…Hopefully might put up 50.

game has completely peetered out…some positives can be taken from it like o leary’s performance, the line out and the defence…luke has also showed a bit of promise…Tommy Bowe will be lucky to keep his place next week…

the west brit & muldoon kick & clap boys getting honked:D
