SirFozzie Posted October 20, 2023 Author Share Posted October 20, 2023 Remember that scene from the Replacements where angry players turn over Keanu Reeve's car? The New Zealand rugby players did something similar with a fully loaded 4x4. Just moved it because it was blocking their team bus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvJtYBN-KwA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted October 20, 2023 Author Share Posted October 20, 2023 No surprise in the first semi, and now I'm actually wanting England to win more. It would be fun to see England get blown out and get to the "England in Shambles" posts.. but I'm TIRED of New Zealand-South Africa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerMark Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 As much as I hate England RU and want them to lose every single match they ever play ever, I don't think you get to post about how they're in shambles after the World Cup Semi Finals even if SA put up a cricket score.

SirFozzie Posted October 21, 2023 Author Share Posted October 21, 2023 Fine Fine. No rugby shambles. I'll have to take my ENgland In Shambles to the cricket thread.. although it's highly unlikely they'll be in shambles again right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 World Champions South Africa trailed France until the 69th minute and won by a point. World Champions South Africa trailed England until the 78th minute and won by a point. England so close. Didn't expect that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted October 22, 2023 Author Share Posted October 22, 2023 USA Women are in the inagural WXV tournament's second tier (a 6 team tournament that will in future versions provide a pathway to the top tier WXV1 tournament). Played Samoa, and there was some internationally world-class tries scored in the USA win https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DVO_gYSl38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohtani's jacket Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 I guess I should say something about this morning's game. England played perfect wet weather rugby for more than an hour and would have won the game if they had made the most of two attacking opportunities they had in the corner. I thought the game was out of reach for South Africa after Farrell's drop goal, but once they got a sniff at scrum time they were like a shark with blood in the water. It's a shame that England had to lose because of a single facet in the game when they outplayed South Africa for most of the match, but sport is cruel. England needed to be more clinical with those two scoring opportunities in the corner. It was a proper semi-final, but it was slow and there was so much kicking. Plenty of emotion and passion, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted October 24, 2023 Author Share Posted October 24, 2023 England is still in the final. Or at least represented at the final. England's Wayne Barnes has been named referee for the RWC final. (guess it had to be a Northern Hemishphere ref with two Southern Hemisphere teams playing, and Barnes is pretty good.

SirFozzie Posted October 28, 2023 Author Share Posted October 28, 2023 Great third place game, but I fear that red card has ruined the final.. first ever red card in a final. Not history you want to make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted October 28, 2023 Author Share Posted October 28, 2023 Someone get the four leaf clover shaped horseshoe out of South Africa's collective arses. 1 Point win in every knockout game. Never going to be topped (unless we get rugby's version of PK's to decide a game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohtani's jacket Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Feeling a bit empty after that. I had a bad feeling when I turned the game on and saw it was raining. Everything that could go wrong went wrong. We showed some fight with a man down and had some chances but couldn't take them. South Africa defended well, especially Pieter-Steph du Toit, and New Zealand made some costly mistakes inside the opposition 22 much like England had done the week before. I don't feel like getting into all of the controversy. I'll just say that the TMO being constantly involved is frustrating to watch. I never thought the All Blacks would get this far, but it still hurts that they couldn't get over the finish line. I really like the South African captain, though, so I'm happy for him.
