In the seasons i played the teams and league I played in (Kent) was mostly builders, painters, and other working class folk.

Of course plenty of working class people do play, but as said it’s mostly the posh schools that play it, and your local builders are hardly likely to end up playing for England. I think there will have been very very few public schoolboys with Welsh caps.

Re Welsh schools, I think it’s the main sport for most of them. The top rugby schools are state schools afaik, and it’s a small country so most people probably know someone who went to one of them, quite possibly with some famous player. Or several.

Ben Kay as studio analyst calls a punch from SOB on Papé. ITV and big screen don’t show it.

Who chooses what gets seen? TMO missed it as well.

Is the body count particularly high this RWC?

Indeed AA

NO having a second sub par game???

Poor POC – looks in a lot of pain.

Rather watch Samoa with ball in hand, although the Bowe break was good deposits what came next…

I’m sure I read somewhere that injury rates are higher but its mainly correlated with much higher ball in play times

Yep. Dirty. Likely to be a week off, I’d say.

On second view, SOB rather deliberately fell in to the ball there….Clever cynical work from O’Punchy.

Got to say I thought France were looking good and Ireland not, but they have really raised their game this afternoon.

SOB has been **** immense. He’s certainly made up for missing the next game. Hopefully the citing commissioner will think, “**** it, it was Pape, who cares?” 😀

What is entry tariff for pubching?

Oh he’ll be cited for sure. And he probably should be. I imagine CFH is hammering away at his keyboard emailing the commissioners about all the AB transgressions over the weekend so if he hasn’t sent the email yet, he can include his report on SOB.

Pape certainly went down like a sack of ~~spuds~~ onions.

Not surprised SOB put some power behind that and he’s a big ****! He may miss the rest of the games.

Sack of Shite, that was one for Jamie’s back 😀

Great performance and as I said if we win up front we win the game. Margin would have been more if Keet could catch.

Has anyone checked if Pape is ok? Or did he just get back up again after going down so hard? Poor fellow.

You imagine wrong, DD! 🙂

Any word on POC yet? Looked a lot like a season ender for him.

SOB will get a ban, no question. Only question is, how long for?

Just seen the Sexton tackle again. One word….”OOF!”. That was some hit.

Didn’t realise Payne is out of RWC. I’d say POC is judging by Joe’s comments.

Has SoB had the need to acquire a suit and some kit kats before? Either way,he won’t be available till the final at the earliest.

I can’t recall anything in the past from SOB. Pape was holding him sure, 1 game?

Japan! Team of the tournament so far for me, and Goromaru the player of the tournament.

So unlucky not to have got through.

I thought France were pretty much the same as they were in the 6N – pish.

Good performance by Ireland to put them away anyway. Immense at the breakdown and wrecked their lineout.

Was Sexton crying when he went off? 😯

I thought Ireland performance was not as good as I’ve seen but they still won handily which is generally a good sign. Really hope that’s not the end of POC, he deserves to go out on a high. Not sure why France where so poor in the lineout, what field position they had was wasted.

As it stands it’s hard to imagine anything but a NZ Australia final.
