Rugby

Worst sporting fortnight ever.

I reckon that is England done, (3 - 20),
as the parade of replacements hasn't helped in previous matches.

Lizzie Armitstead disagrees.

AFAIK she isn't a villa fan.

Make or break for Big Sam.

If we had a back row, I reckon we'd be quite a good side.

Two England yellows?

Bullshit call

England forwards outgamed in the scrum,
comprehensively beaten at the breakdown.

Good coaching by Cheika to turn the Aussie scrum from an embarassment a few years ago,
to a potent, match-winning weapon.

Taxi for Lancaster.

Wilkinson just named as Head Coach.

I love Johnny, but he's a Shit pundit.

Gonna need to give them away now

I'm not sure I get or like the booing of the opposition. Very unsportsmanlike. Makes me sad. I got told off for clapping a very good Aussie try. I'm not a traitor cause I love good rugby. Hell, japan's winning decision was respectable and amazing.

Agreed, England 'fans' have been embarrassing so far. Booing the kicker again tonight, can only hope it's not a normal rugby crowd.

it's not a normal rugby crowd

I think the limit for a normal rugby crowd is about 40,000, any more than that and the great unwashed masses start to make themselves heard.

Aussies looking damn good.
Lots of schadenfreude here in nz. I almost feel sorry for the English.
Nz rugby fans are terrible too, sportsmanship is poor and pundits are horrendously one-eyed.

Been a great world cup so far. I just hope we don't lose to france again.

Go Cowboys!

You're likely to get thrown out ravenhill for making unnecessary noise during kicks. It's not a fucking pantomime.

what a fuckin game! ridiculous. I almost felt sorry for benny hunt, then i remembered the spear tackle he had done previously.

Tonga playing hard and the better team at the end of the half. Not sure why that wasn't a penalty try to them for collapsed maul basically on the line? It could be interesting this...

New Zealand looking very beatable.

Less so with the oppo down to 14 though.

Come on Samoa!

Did ITV miss the call on why that was a Samoa scrum as opposed to a Scottish 22 dropout?

Edit: or I did. What was it?

Anyway, not sure I was glad to watch that match but happy with the result in the end
