DD, I assume you have the 30th of October marked in your diary with a big red crayon scrawl?

USA v Cook Islands at Memorial Park. 2000hrs.

A real clash of run and wriggle titans there! Good to see them playing the game in a place where there are bound to be masses of RL fans, Merkins and Cook Islanders to really fill the ground!

Erm. Akshewally.

I am watching the EPL powerplay over Europe

The French are at least as culpable as the EPL.
The game going professional was always going to bring things like this. Like it or not, rugby is now a business. I can see the argument that if you contribute more, you get more. However, I am wholly uncomfortable that any league operates to the detriment of others.

Tidy win for the Ospreys. Tipuric is in simply sublime form.

Fingers crossed for Toby Faletau, though. Didn’t look at all good.

Looking forward to England v Australia at the Millenium, then Wales v Italy, followed by a few Brains SA to see the evening out.

League – a game that even in the heartland of the game only 4’500 people could be bothered to attend an International game at £5 per ticket.
When even the fans don’t turn up its doesn’t bode well..

Ton even as a league fan you muat think the concept of a world cup with only three teams made up of players who are any good is more than a little underwhelming.

I have to admit, it is not very appealing.
Australia and new Zealand final will be good tho.
But, what about all the minor teams there, surely they deserve to play in a world cup?
just cos we don’t find it appealing, don’t mean it shouldnt be played.

The game needs to grow,but how to do that when even the core fans stay away i have no idea.
Sale play at the same stadium and even they attract more people than the above mentioned International game.

How long are refs meant to play advantage for? Seems utterly random at times.

Not sure of the exact rules piggie….when Italy play the rules seems to be that they get a maximum of two passes before advantage is over, the opposition are usually allowed to score before it’s over 😀

Its almost like the last world cup for england didnt happen, or Care or Prince Tindal or no end of Aussies or all bllacks pulled out of bars prior to world cup semi finals… I think the problem may go a little beyond just the welsh…….

I think that I’ll give up trying to do jokey banter on this thread a_a. Shirley you could see the smiley after the sentence that you’ve quoted….it was just a little bit of banter!
It seems fine for you to poke fun at the English, but you really get on the attack when someone dares to make a joke about the Welsh [\rant]

To be fired for being drunk in France is quite an achievement !

So where have I poked fun at the “English”?
I may poke fun at english players but I try to avoid racial stereotyping.

I don’t keep a cross referenced database like some a_a and I’m not trawling through the rugby threads to find a quote. I remember you calling an English player a useless turk….is that a racial slur? I have no idea what it means.

If you thinking me making a glib remark about Welsh drunkenness with reference to the rugby team is a racial slur then you are either stupid or being deliberately obtuse….I don’t think that you are the former.

Fat useless Turk actually and the fact you have no idea what that means speaks volumes.
I would also imagine you can/should be able to see the difference between talking about “daft welsh drunkenness” and commenting on an individual rugby player who is english.

Wales will get thumped first up, limp through a couple poor performances against lesser teams before ending with a close lose to Australia, same as every year really.

Don’t worry tom. Easily done. Let’s get back on topic, eh?
I redo England will narrowly lose to the Aussies, beat the argies and be soundly thrashed by the ABs.
I don’t think SL has the team quite right yet. I hope that some of the fringe players get a good run out. Care and foden are our best options at 9 and 15. He seems to be favouring youngs and brown.

RE Care at 9 – Can I just say how glad I am that he seems to have sorted out his inner demons and has got back to playing some great rugby!

RE Wales. Pretty much as AA says.
