Would not be bothered if it's an Ireland-England Semi Final.

Im a lone Australian in among a sea of Kiwis atm.
The Irish made that special.
Potential shutout
Fuck I made a mistake.
I thought New Zealand were supposed to be on the wane?
Never on the wane they have more depth now than ever.Originally Posted by Shindig
Their first XV is less nailed on that it was four years ago but nobody outside of reaching feature writers really thought that, and even if it's true it's not enough for them to be turned over by this lot.
The depth at 10 12 13 is scary. The front row has probably the least amount of depth in the forwards but everywhere is 2/3 players deep.
I still think South Africa has the grunt to slow them down.
I think we can beat them, but they win that game 8/10 times. There's no way they just run at our defence for 80 minutes like the Aussies did.
Yeah probably play that counter attack they are famous for I reckon.
Obviously targeting their scrum and maul defence will be key to unlocking your cracking backline.

A bad day for the establishment.
lol at Welsh Welsh Wales (currently) bottling their World Cup against a rank bad France team AGAIN.
It's almost as if these daft provincials only really turn up for certain games.
They need to sort it out as South Africa's route to the final being Japan and then France is.
Enjoyable as a neutral.
They've done well to get to halftime without conceding again, despite their own best efforts at the end there.
Obviously I'm not about to start cheering for France but them winning would be the lollest result. Unfortunately I think we just watched the one half of rugby they're capable of producing on any given day.
Naturally I have full confidence in the French to maintain a healthy half time lead.
I like them bringing on a fancy field goal merchant.
Has to be red.
Well no-one could have predicted that.
I am enjoying that cunt Gatland looking miserable.
Would holding onto this be the most French thing or the least French thing for them to do? Such a weird team.
Once they went down to 14 the pendulum swung back. They only chuck things away when they should win.
I much prefer an England v Wales final over an All Blacks v Bokke.
That strip fairly obviously went forward.
What a hilarious game.
Yeah I would be seething.
That’s the only team gone that I wanted to win it.
Saffas to win 49-3
Is that not a red in the current climate?
I'm more than willing to overlook the forward pass rule as far as Japan are concerned and I'm glad Wayne Barnes is of a similar mind.
Barnsey's got this.
This is wonderful.
Funny how all of Cheika's mates in the media dont share this very accurate opinion.“(It) was one of the most selfish tactical gameplans I’ve seen in a long time because it wasn’t about the players,” Monye told BT Sport.
“But he totally ignored all that with sheer stubbornness. I didn’t like the tactics, it didn’t work out and I personally feel he let his team down because it didn’t give them the best opportunity to win. How many trophies have you won (with these tactics)?”
“It was irresponsible because the game plan wasn’t about the players, it was about him. It was about ‘this is what I believe Australian rugby to be and we’re going to stick to it come hell or high water, this is the way which is going to work’.
My boyhood Rugby Club Sunnybank are using WeChat to reach out to the Chinese community. Signed up 100 boys already for summer skills camps and they expect the number to reach 500.

"All Asian Boys and Girls Welcome". Well, that's not very inclusive, is it...
That is a bit how's your father but they do have Chinese and Taiwanese development officers that go to local primary schools.
I have never heard such misogany that our ARU CEO Raelene Castle is copping. The amount of wife beaters poking the heads up on social media and on talk back radio is very scary.

What use could the Chinese possibly have on a rugby pitch?
The parents must have money.
Junior club sport is a numbers game. Take the cash off 100 sets of parents and that funds you being able to make 3 of the 10 good ones brilliant.
That's where league's going wrong chasing them Polynesian welfare dollars. If them BBC documentaries about China are anything to go by, which they probably aren't, Australia will probably be split between pro and anti-China like we are with remain and leave before long. They've got their clammy little fingers in all sorts of stir fries.
I would imagine if they start weights as early as everyone else it would be any different.
It is funny that the very government the boomers voted in are the ones approving the sale of the massive cattle stations to the Chinese. They complain about baby formula being sold while buying up Apple products and other items off them for decsdes.

I think they are having to compete for the local Polynesian kids with Logan Rugby Union who are trying to make the step up to Sunnybanks level.

Im surrounding myself with Kiwis again for this game, while wearing a 20 year old English Rugby jersey that I borrowed.
I am rock hard. I kept telling my.mates that an ambush was coming their way.
The tempo we started at was amazing but we're going to regret not getting at least another three out of that early period camping around their posts, I fear.
Yeah your next entry into their 22 has to result in 3 at least.
