Rugby world cup

Nice little blog about possibly one of the greatest games of rugby ever. It’s one of the games that I can remember exactly where I was watching it.

New Zealand 31-43 France

bumping on

Pah I’m in the same boat for the Eng vs Rom game on Sat, wife has arranged something for me at 8am.

Come on Namibia, you can do better than that!

(South Africa are my 20th favourite team in the RWC.)

Yeah I remember it vividly too.

Slightly more off topic is this Great Article (complete with videos) about the French Grand Slam of 1977. I stumbled across it when reading about prop Gerard Cholet – ex paratrooper & heavyweight boxer – infamous for knocking out FOUR Scotchmen in one match that season. 😯

You gotta love the French!

Anybody else watching the RSA/Namibia game? Has to be one of the least great games ever – unless you like watching lots of tries being scored with little opposition. Namibia getting completely dismantled here, and I’m wondering what record scores are.

Watching it on & off. Not great. Wondering how ITV will fit all the tries into their crappy highlight show!
NZ got 145 against Japan a while ago, that’d take some beating!

I know it was Namibia but Bokke showing some good play

I missed that game NZ v France in 1999, was on a train to Brighton for a week on a course. Was that confident ! Wandered into the hotel and ran into some French guys, foolishly asked them what the score was. Thought they were joking…

Roll on a week and BF at the time (not for much longer) meets me off the train in a French Rugby top. Not funny. Never funny.

The video tape of that game went out the flat window eventually and got run over by a Lothian Bus, after one taunting too many. Still not funny !

And there you have it in a nutshell the average AB supporter has no sense of humour when it comes down to rugby 🙂

Hels – you need to become a scotland fan and get used to the dissapointments

I have a sense of humour, I just don’t like bad winners. Taunting losers is just mean and is likely why everyone hates, oh lets not start that again !!

And I really don’t mind that much losing to France, at least they are a proper team with some flair and usually quite good looking.

TJ – steady on…

Jeez we have to sit next door to the english how do you think the Welsh feel about bad winners 😉

Not a lot of people know this,but the garden of Eden was actually in Scotland.
McAdam wandered around in wonder, admiring MacEve’s flowing ginger hair.As evening fell God,as was his habit, took a stroll to see how his finest creations were doing. McAdam fell at his feet and praised God. “Thank you Father for the stunning scenery, the rivers full of Salmon and trout.Also,thank you for the fruit and berries growing in abundance. And Lord, look at the beautiful heather in the sunlight…..” God cut him short with a wry smile and helped him to his feet; “It’s not all that good,lets talk about your neighbours…”

With apologies to Woppit for the Godism and Toys for the racism.

“Thank you Father for the stunning scenery, the rivers full of Salmon and trout.Also,thank you for the fruit and berries growing in abundance. And Lord, look at the beautiful heather in the sunlight….. deep fried Chewits”

FTFY.

Hels I started drinking at 645 on Sunday morning at had 5 pints by the time the canada/france game had finished. You are letting the stereotype down..

With apologies to Woppit for the Godism and Toysalmost everyone here, for none of you support england except me and DD, for the racism.

FTFY 😆

True I must be getting old, if you get drunk at 0900 what do you do with the rest of the day ?? Play pool ?? Sleep it off ??

Have I just witnessed a Wales fan making the English out to be bad winners? 😯

That 20th spot is still open you know 🙂

Well after the canada game it was about 11am,
11:30 – kids and wife at local farm/theme park/soft play area thing
15:00 – steak sarnie and chips from the excellent cafe there,
16:15 – 15 mins kip
16:30 – chipper all evening.

Got max points for a family day, watched two games and got pished. I think my morning liver has more poke than my evening liver.

DD I was ignoring it..

Meanwhile, in twitter news:

This is what Ireland will be missing for their RWC campaign. Jerry Flannery, eyes shut:

Quite impressive 🙂

DD thats cool. “Just loike dat”

@TommyBowe14 your boys are giving props a bad name! Far too much running about!!

😀

Adam Jones – legend – some of his tweets are quite funny.

A favour please; apart from the phone I will have no real internet from Sat for a week.Nor am I anywhere the scores will be easily found.I have STW on my mobile,Could somebody please post the results on here?

Are you on tweeter duckie?

Or if you want, I’d happily text you updates. 🙂

Adam Jones – legend –

I wish I could find the video where he describes scoring a try…

“Well, I sidestepped Monye, did the winger for pace and then I was clear to the line with fifty yards. Tidy”

(He actually just powered over, but never mind! Love hearing him talk rugby!)

Or if you want, I’d happily text you updates.

Do sat phones do txt messaging? Or will one of your minions do it for you?

What’s this all about?? 👿

I think he’s confusing you with me, Darcy. Easy mistake to make, of course. 😉

What’s this all about??

I thought DD was the one with all the money.. 😆

One flipping post about a heated wing mirror…this will die down eventually 😐

I thought DD was the one with all the money..

Ah, you’re right then. Heated wing mirrors all round… 😉

Ah, you’re right then

On here, not often. In life, all the time.

RSA against Namibia . . . wasn’t a game, it was a training session.

Current world champions roll on . . . 🙂

Will Carling not scoring a try:

I’m sure you’ve all seen it before but it’s worth watching again. And again. And again…..

Oh and it has no relevance to the RWC.

(It is very safe for work, duckman!)
