Scotland should have complained when the scheduling in typhoon season was announced and brought in their expensive lawyers then. Failing that, they should've done what the New Zealand coach said and won their early matches or did they wait hoping for the chance to be in Japan's position themselves.

Just came across this islamophobic news from Canada, of all places

The text message from Chase (Riley's dad) began with the old classic:

“I’m not a racist but…”

Canadians have an extremely unfair reputation for being "nice". They're just as nice as anyone else (i.e., they're not).

It be india and pakistan's national sport. What he talkin about

Ignorant people are ignorant.

Riley's dad is a tool, and if he's not careful he'll live out his days as a hopeless North American middle class sheep.

England off to a dream half against Aus in the RWC QF (17-9). We're set up for a cracking return to play.

Booya! 40-16. Four more years Aussies!

Beating the Aussies at Rugby :drool:

Bold Tone

Big for nothing lumps. 😃

Nothing better than thrashing the Aussies at a World Cup. That's twice in 2019 now.

KingslandBarge

Certainly a strange feeling getting used to England having the best cricket team and nearly the best rugby team in the world.

Thanks for coming Ireland. Looking forward to hearing how you’re ready to challenge the big boys again after another exhibition game win in three years.

invisibleman18

Well Ireland were a bit shit. We'll get thrashed by a similar score next week but no shame in going out in the semis I guess.

Bosscielny

Nah it’ll be a lot closer. I kind of see the Irish rugby team as similar to Arsenal. I’m never really too worried about them turning up and performing when it really matters.

I think the winner of the All Blacks and England game will go on and win it all.

Have you been living in NZ long enough to see how the country reacts to a poor World Cup outing?

invisibleman18

Yep, definitely have. It's always been the referee's fault.

Think our defence should be better than Ireland but we'd probably need an early red card or a really scrappy game in terrible weather to stand any chance. Probably only South Africa could conceivably beat them.

KingslandBarge

Speaking off, Springboks on in an hour against Japan. While they usually do give the All Blacks a true wholesome test, All Blacks have edged just about every encounter in the World Cups. Its quite frustrating really.

Wales and France going down to the wire.

Clrnc

Wales is very very very lucky.

invisibleman18

What an idiot that French lock was. Think he'll be allowed back into France?

I didn't watch the match but this "old school" mauling is both ridiculous and impressive.

invisibleman18

Fuck we actually did it. Beat the All Blacks in the semi final. Can't believe we held on. Thought we didn't have enough points from the early dominance and they'd overrun us at the end.

Fucking awesome. Close to the top of my all time sporting memories, but still need to win the final next week for it to matter.

Not quite for me as I'm trying not to get too excited as the worry has shifted to not winning the whole thing after toppling both Australia and New Zealand.
I want Wales.
