Rugby World Cup

I think the captain, Farrell in this case, is the only player allowed to approach the ref to question a decision, so long as the ref is prepared to explain and justify his decision then I see no problem with this. As you say it was all very polite and civilised.

Fcking Rugger. Elbows in the face, a cheeky cup of the balls whilst scrumming down, mass brawls. But it’s fine, they call the ref sir in a posh voice, so it’s all good...Nah, not for me...Not arsed if England lose the final.

 

If that Wales v Saffers game had been my first experience of watching rugby I would probably never watch another game of rugby again ... What a bloody borefest!!
Rather than two teams trying to win the gane we had two teams trying so hard not to lose it.
Unless South Africa up their game a fair bit I see very little for England to worry about next week .

 

I have to agree, it was tense towards the end but as an overall spectacle it was terrible. England need to ensure they don't get sucked into those tactics and play their own game, if they stick to their game plan and release the ball early they will win. Totally baffled why Wales kicked the ball away so much. Gatland has been a great coach but got that one wrong.

 

I think you are living in the past. Since it became professional its not just posh boys anymore. Have you listened to the Engkand captain?

 

No.

 

Sinkler was brought up on a council estate and went to the local comprehensive school where they did not initially even have a rugby team, real story of local boy done good.

 

The final a damp squib so far. Too much kicking and poor handling.

 

Hope the second half is better than that turgid first half. Christ it was dull.

 

Can someone please explain how every time the scrum collapses South Africa get a penalty.not a rugby fan.dont get it

 

Can someone explain how an advantage can go on for over 3 minutes. Nearly three quarters of the game gone and one try scoring opportunity in the whole game. Like watching Rugby in Bill Beaumonts days.

 

Rugby is a load of bollocks. Just meatheads running into each other.

 

Must be in region of 15 minutes gone in setting scrums up .its garbage

 

Don't they have forward passes in Union, it looked like there were two in the build up to SA try ?.

 

It's like watching a really bad football match. Time wasting at.every scrum, continually slowing play down.

 

It was always the risk with SA getting to the final, the semi against NZ was near perfection.

 

Well that makes it SA game for sure, they looked the better team through out the whole 80 minutes better team won.
