The Rugby Thread (Part 2)

Very embarrassing for @BruidheanChaorthainn, after the lambasting he gave Andy.

I do find it interesting they done this with bundee aki. I don’t like bundee aki as a player. I think it’s crash, bang and wallop with him. He looks great and his numbers are great but the team suffers for it.

How so?

Between the last World Cup and the 19 one South Africa were very average.

If anything it makes the World Cup look much worse.

Wales win it at the death. Cracking match.

Gatland might just be building something after all

Not over yet!

It is now! Great contest

Gas. I just realised i played along side todays ref, Damon Murphy.

Some win for Gatty beating an off season Reds side …by one point

Don’t mention the shambles where he selected Cory Hill as captain a man playing in the Japanese fourth tier who fled Wales in disgrace…and he had to pull Hill and hour before the game due to the blowback in Wales on the decision

Oh Gatty

At least he has the million a year to comfort him

Their 20s about to get pumped

Argentina being ridden red raw here by the referee in New Zealand. The NZ commentators are impressed by the great way the referee is communicating to the Argies that he is riding them red raw.

Argentina win 30-38 in Wellington. The NZ team were very poor.

Very sad news about Rory Burke. 30 is no age at all.

This seems very ambitious

They’ve nowhere else to play it

What’s on in the aviva?

The game that stops a nation

I’m not sure but I remember Murray kinesella had a piece on it. I think it was meant to be Nolan park but it was going to cost too much.

The Irish soccer team are playing that weekend as well but are playing away twice that weekend so must be some reason.
