SirFozzie Posted June 5, 2023 Author Share Posted June 5, 2023 (edited) Straight out of a movie. The finale of the women's Oceania Rugby Championship (Fiji vs Samoa). The last few minutes are insane, played in a BUCKETING rain storm, and it comes down to... no, seriously, watch this. https://www.reddit.com/r/rugbyunion/comments/140koiv/dramatic_closing_minutes_of_fiji_w_vs_samoa_w_in/ Spoiler THAT kick in a bucketing rain storm to win the tournament. Holy shit. In a just world, she'd never have to pay for a drink again. Edited June 5, 2023 by SirFozzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirFozzie Posted August 6, 2023 Author Share Posted August 6, 2023 If you expected today's results, you lie. Well, not the England being Omnishambles one. That one was pretty much a given, although losing to Wales is a bit of an eye raiser. Scotland over France though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DangerMark Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I don't blame him this time, they kept askig stupid questions about Quade Cooper and frankly, I was more surprised to learn that Cooper had eighty caps than that he'd been dropped. Spoiler Michael Hooper was another surprise drop but I won't mention that: they say you should never interrupt an enemy while they're making a mistake.

ohtani's jacket Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Eddie is banking everything on Australia being on the easier side of the draw. Provided they can beat Wales in the pool stages, which isn't a given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerMark Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 You must have been watching a different Wales to me recently, I wouldn't back Wales into win a game of Tiddlywinks these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohtani's jacket Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Australia can't win a game of Tiddlywinks at the moment either. Wales were the last team that Australia defeated, but it was only by five points and prior to that Wales had won three in a row, including the pool stages of the 2019 WC. They always have close, scrappy matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted August 20, 2023 Author Share Posted August 20, 2023 Well, Farrell may still miss some WC games because the appeal is being appealed, and now Vunipola's set to miss some time, with a Red Card of his very own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DangerMark Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 This is a bizarre situation, but in words that I keep attributing to John Gibbs (but could have been someone else,) "it's very simple: you can't hit 'em in the melon." And if you do hit 'em in the melon, then you've gotta get your arm up like you're trying to pretend you're tackling the guy. I have the tiniest bit of sympathy for Vunipola (well, more than I do for Farrell,) because Ireland seem to have this habit of running with their heads lower to the floor than other teams do. Full disclosure, I am still the tiniest bit salty after that Liam Williams yellow card in the Six Nations where Johnny Sexton appeared to my (admittedly Welsh,) eyes to run face first into Williams' shoulder.

SirFozzie Posted August 23, 2023 Author Share Posted August 23, 2023 Vunipola gets three games. At which point do you just not bring a suspended person to the world cup? They're going to miss half and three quarters of the group stage. Sure you'll have em for the knockouts, but um..with the two most important games versus Japan and Argentina right off the get-go, you might need someone to win one of those two games just to GET to the knockouts.
