Rugby world cup

Good luck to my Top 5 team beginning with I* at 0830.

*In the northern hemisphere.

Cueto being another. As again, England’s main issue has been discipline, he’s a definite improvement over Armitage.

Now then, being lewd towards a waitress vs drink driving. Care to comment?

*nudge*

And just for A_A:

Let’s just remember how saintly the Welsh are…

well at least he hasnt been banned for drink driving twice, married a Princess then been filmed snogging some random blonde whilst pissed out of his head….

if I were you zokes I wouldnt throw stones.

Zokes, you are ace!

One of those ‘improvements’ that England can’t make, apparently….

Cutting out the indiscipline would be a major factor, and as they’re generally unforced errors, something that could (but probably won’t) improve.

Now you are arguing with yourself! Are you sure you are not from one of the Celtic nations?

And all the best in thinking Cueto the gouger is improving your team on current form.

see above, HRH has been done twice

just read Carter out of the world cup with the injury he sustained in training, big blow for them and now the pressure will build on them once again. Still going with my original prediction of the AB’s choking in the semi’s to the wallabies.

Just catching up. Can’t believe Carter is out, havingnto call up Cruden eeeek ! Had a nice arvo at nz v Canada, we looked pretty sharp.
England were a wee bit lucky last night, although Scotland showed how hard they find crossing then try line – so close. Oh well. Wife was there and said it was great.
Come on Ireland

Ahem!

Missed the Welsh game, did we? 🙄 😀

Nick Evans would be a much better bet at 10 for NZ but they wont call him up.

Can you read, Duckkid?

First quote taken in context is sarcasm (look it up in the dictionary – it’s that big book with lots of words in it). – Note, this is both patronising, and sarcastic.

The second is a statement, based upon their performances so far.

In actual fact, I lived for 10 years in North Wales, and am married to a Welsh lass, so I do have a reasonable connection to the country. It’s unnecessarily venomous small-minded people like A_A in particular who put me off supporting them as a second team.

And A_A – neither team is exactly a paragon of morals, but you keeping bringing up the gutter press about some drunken idiots who should know better hardly has any bearing on their rugby ability or lack thereof.

Zokes – I am sorry but most of the “venomous small-minded people” on this thread have been English supporters and you have been guilty of this yourself.

“Let he who is without sin cast the first stone”

Yeah I was watching the warriors in the Nrl grand final actually. Last I heard they were well ahead

It’s unnecessarily venomous small-minded people like A_A

OK

Now then, being lewd towards a waitress vs drink driving. Care to comment?

you bought it up then faced with facts seem to be rowing backwards at high speed, do you care to comment.

Zokes – I am sorry but most of the “venomous small-minded people” on this thread have been English supporters and you have been guilty of this yourself.

I’d challenge you to find a statement taken in context here where I’ve been remotely myopic towards the other home nations – I’ve certainly not taken the ‘little Englander’ stance, as it’s one I hate myself.

Yourself on the other hand…

(I am prepared, however, to find that in over 2000 posts I may have transgressed somewhere.)

Meanwhile, somewhere in the real world, a rugby match is being played. 🙄

Now then, being lewd towards a waitress vs drink driving. Care to comment?

come on love, you bought it up you must have an opinion

do you care to comment.

Both teams (in fact, probably most teams) have certain off-field records that are far from rosy. It does seem to be you that keeps bringing this up though.

EDIT: We crossed posts, darling 🙄

A_a are you a bit Hung over or something? You seem pretty grumpy. Wales are the only nh team I have seen being slick and well drilled, though against weak opposition. France have been the biggest disappointment so far though the other type of French team may turn up in the quarters! 🙂

are you a politician?

because England keep getting in the papers for being **** now.

are you going to tell us what you think of drink driving and being lewd?

A_a are you a bit Hung over or something? You seem pretty grumpy. Wales

not at all grumpy, however Zokes has done himself up like a kipper in bringing up drink driving, would just like him to admit it thats all

I presume Armitage cited for his swinging arm tackle? A saint he is not. Seems to be a London Irish special if anyone watched the Gloucester v Irish game y’day which hopefully will see a long ban for their number 8 who also has previous

I think you’ll find I already have: twice on this occasion, and I think I also pulled you up on it last time you played this very irrelevant card.

Interesting comment. Which team in the RWC do you consider weak? Having matched S.A. practically point for point would say different, especially in a group with 3 teams in the top ten ranked teams in the world.

Zokes – I am sorry but most of the “venomous small-minded people” on this thread have been English supporters and you have been guilty of this yourself.

Really? I see lots of fairly pathetic xenophobic bitterness from most of the other ‘home nations’ supporters towards England (though they are rubbish 😉 ). And I don’t really GAF that much about Rugby Union. My surname is Wynne BTW so I guess I should join in with A_A in being bitter and divisive.

Hartley had to be involved. Armitage would be great if he didnt have such an attitude problem.

Good game at Kingsholme yesterday.

Scamper that was worthy of a red.

not at all grumpy, however Zokes has done himself up like a kipper in bringing up drink driving, would just like him to admit it thats all

A_A earlier:

Naughty. 🙁

Morning everyone.

Can you all please give it a rest? If you hate England/the English/Wales/the Welsh/Scotland/the Scots etc i don’t care, just shut the F up with all the whinging will you!

TJ you’re one of the worst for the comments.

Now, Italy looking good this morning.

the tournament starts in earnest next weekend, forget the form in the pool games this will mean for nothing come the quarters 😀

Dirty Italian ****.

I think you’ll find I already have: twice on this occasion, and I think I also pulled you up on it last time you played this very irrelevant card.

I think you bought it up tbh. Whats you view by the way, despite what you say you havent answered.

Not sure you can say that gouging was unequivocal, caught his eye for sure but it could have been accidental… prop was lucky to not get a yellow for his reaction.

I think you bought it up tbh

Short memory, have we?

I think the Italian deserved a slap for his efforts. Anyway a-a and zokes, time to give it a rest eh?

I didnt think it was a gouge either, who is the Irish bloke on the commentary hardly impartial is he 😉

That was my reading of it too…

Separately, oh, c’mon Italy… lucky escape for them there :/

Goddamn bias on the BBC ITV 😉

Lucky? Not just lucky. Incorrect decision from the ref. Never mind though. Plenty time left.
