The Rugby Thread (Part 2)

Two lads absolutely bolloxed on the ground. That’s stomach churning

SH have been reffing head contact different. See super rugby final other day for example

Games gone

Ah would you stop, what a farce :joy:

Bonus Point win secured at the death. Ireland Ireland Ireland.

Only right to have a double-barrel surname coming off the bench there for the PWC’s

Gleeson is some operator

You’d wonder about some of the decisions given there, the influence of PWC may have held some sway.

I don’t think refs really bother with red cards under the new ruling, it’s up to the TMO to review it during the sin bin period and decide if the yellow should be upgraded to red, it probably will be in that case.
For the 2nd head clash, I don’t understand why those in charge of the sport don’t do something about ball carriers dipping into tackles like that. Surely if the defending player has to go low for player protection then the attacking player should have to stay upright for the same reason.

I think the way the game has gone the entire thing is simply unmanageable. I genuinely cant see how or why anyone would let a child get involved in it. Some of the hits there were sickening to see for teenagers.

He’ll have to get 10+ senior appearances next season in Celtic league of whatever they call it now. He’s not far off ready, just a bit young to put in the firing line of too much attrition.

Edit: had him mixed up with the hooker.

Gleeson had some game alright. Am I right in saying he didn’t start the last match?

France absolutely dicking NZ.

French 13 looks something special

Lads around here obsessed by a sport they hate by coming onto this thread to state their opinions

Whos obsessed lad?

I’d imagine it’s a reference to this comment:

Thats a bit lousy on @Diabhal. Typical cheap shot from @locke

Kiwis trying to out-do their last comeback against Wales of 21 points down to try and come back from 28 down against France.

Halfway there!

Edit scratch that! Fra score another try. Surely no coming back from here

I’ll have ye cunts know I’ve attended several AIL games #grassroots2greenshirts

Errah away and shite, I’ve been to a hape of prestigious Towns Cup games around Leinster and all.

We are the true rugby fans of the forum. The ones who value the game outside these manufactured provincial entities pal.
