Rugby world cup

Regarding the above point of how the tackle is ridden, do you really think Clerc chose to flip upside down and land on his head/back (depending on if you are AA)? How the tackle is made defines how or if it can be ridden safely.

Ever played the game? Ever taught how to take a hit?
It also helps that Radike is much bigger and heavier, how the tackle is made is not the only thing that defines the outcomes. (in these cases, obviously high tackles cannot be ridden)

Eye gouging has as much place in rugby as dropping your knee on to someone’s head, or leading in to a tackle with your fist. This sort of thing should be cited and looked in to properly…..

Blimp?

when does the window for citing close? I think the citing comission shut up shop after the 1/4 finals.

Jeez, nine posts to move the thread on 🙄

O’Flashearty, I can see what you’re doing there btw.

Yes I have played. But answering a question with a question doesn’t help anyone does it?

But unless he has his hands on the World Cup now, he shouldn’t be on the list either according to doof_doof, and anyway it’s just a readers’ choice and as we can see here people will vote with their hearts and not with their heads and spout the usual rubbish.

err…I didn’t say that. I was implying that if Wales did indeed have 7 of the best players in the tournament then they should/would have done better than 4th place.

A brilliant player is not defined by holding the RWC, nice leap you’ve made there. But a team with 7(!) of the 15 best players at the RWC would not have lost 3 times and failed to make the final, and they lost to a team who have no players in that list, and another who have only one.

I agree with this.

After the Rougerie on McCaw eye-gouge, the All Blacks shook no French hands and wouldn’t swap shirts after the match.

New Zealand and French players didn’t embrace at the end of the game, and why there was little or no mention about the French team in the speeches after the final

Perspective. It’s an interesting thing, isn’t it?

Annoys the hell out of me, as he’s such a good player.

What have I missed? Another 15 videos from A_A?

Did you watch that in normal speed, or just the slo-mo?
(rhetorical question)

Both.

Why on earth would McCaw swap his RWC winning shirt?? It’s the only one he’ll ever have from this event,the pinnacle of his career.

Because he has 2, one from each half?

as we know reading isnt a strong point of yours would you like me to draw you a picture?

Funny that. I spend all day reading intelligent things. Not much you say falls into that category, so i don’t see the need to bother.

You could post some more videos of tackles that weren’t red cards if it makes you feel any better?

Unless their place kicker was not one of those seven 🙂

😆 Ouch, but still 😆

Even a slight improvement in kicking – just one extra kick, which is not an outrageous expectation – would have seen us in the final. So I think the 7 best players idea can’t be discounted on the basis of final position.

And another successful kick against SA would have seen another win…… Hang on! 😛

I think the 7 best players idea can be discounted on the basis of

the fact one is Toby Faletau who clearly wasnt the best 8, another is Geroge North who wasnt as good as a number of others and finally one is Warburton who got red carded in the biggest game of his life.

Warburton who got red carded in the biggest game of his life

Did he? You know, I don’t think anyone was aware of that – you should have made more of it at the time as we all must have missed it! 🙄

Guys, this has gone far enough now I tink.

Zokes are you this obsessed with everything in life, you came on this thread to start with seemingly spoiling for a fight and you are still banging the same drum, do you need a hug?

Darcy, +1.

In other news, the Ayatollah has announced his retirement.

Don’t know why. McCaw did them a favour as Lievremont was forced to take him off shortly afterwards and bring on the scrum half who has created more for them every time he has come off the bench.
OK, Trinh Duc’s kicking is pish, but there are alternatives for that, but not the instinct that he has ball in hand.
As the French say “Il pue le rugby” (he stinks of rugby).

Have we done the French getting fined by the IRB for standing up to the Haka yet?
Apparently there is a 10metre exclusion zone, which they breached.

Ridiculous,imo.

Ridiculous,imo.

Quite. It’s a confrontational war dance. It seems a bit silly to be getting upset about someone confronting it!

I don’t see what your ethnic background has got to do with any of this? 🙂

Agreed. IMO, the opposition should be able to do whatever they want during the various hakas/dances before games. Saunter off and warm up in their own 22, perhaps. Stride up face to face with the opposition. Whatever.

Indeed Para is shite at 10 and Tranny Duc pretty good.

That would be my favourite to see. Imagine the indignation! NZ would implode I think.

Who could ever forget Norm Hewitt and Richard Cockerill and their Haka shenanigans. Resulted in the vile Leicester coach being knocked out out side a night club 😆
