The Rugby Thread

[Hand Shandy]

France are painfully bad.

[ZonkoVille77]

Used to hate rugby but it's actually a class game.

 

Even if it has a massive support solely from bellends.

[Hand Shandy]

That was a terrible game.

[sir roger]

It's as if the World Cup never happened.

Wayne Barnes is a fussy bastard.

Awful ref. Knows all the rules but has no feel for the game.

 

Shit game but a win's a win.

[Anubis]

Good result for Wales. Did Joe Allen play well again?

[Hand Shandy]

Parisse is just ridiculous. Where the fuck would Italy be without him?

[Hand Shandy]

Have Ireland been in England's half yet? Seriously need to get some points on the board here.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Good first half from England spent mostly in the Irish half, could and should have had a lot more to show for it but the Irish backs put in some shift. I can see us overwhelming them in the second half though, they just luck happy trying to soak up the pressure and hope they can get a break away on turnovers or England mistakes.

Don't underestimate the Irish, G.

They're as self-important, unrelenting and serious about anything to do with besting England as that smart new avatar of yours.

[Hand Shandy]

While it's this tight, it's still anyone's game. However, England battered Ireland in that half and you'd like to think that will take its toll in the second half.

I'd never underestimate them mate but you can't keep making 180 tackles a game and expect to keep fitness levels going, the English forwards are going to put them under some serious pressure in the second half and if we can get an early try it'll break those huge Irish hearts. Ireland have to try and play a more expansive game at some time, they can't keep doing what they have been doing so far.

I would have thought I'd have put my Irish wife away after 14 years spent camped in her half, G, but she keeps scoring tries against the run of play with monotonous regularity, and no doubt will for the next 25 to 30 years until she buries me, mate.

 

It's like a Pole continually saying "fuck you, I'm better" to a Russian, which you'd be well aware of.

Ireland are a tackling and penalty team. That's just them, since St Patrick, bless them.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Jesus, Irish bastards. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Daft yellow from Haskell has given Ireland the advantage here, stupid twunt. 

[Hand Shandy]

Back to a point. Itoje has been excellent.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Back to a point. Itoje has been excellent.

 

He certainly has been, nice to get points on the board despite being a man down. 

[Hand Shandy]

Finally!

[Anubis]

Oh English rugby. Not you as well. That stupid fucking music.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

About time we got a try when in their 22. Back up to 15 and it showed, aided by that knock on by the Irish like. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Oh English rugby. Not you as well. That stupid fucking music.

Annoying as fuck. Be fucking skanky cheerleaders next.

Just thought that myself.  Worra load of shite.

 

Swinging very low there.

[Hand Shandy]

Vunipola is a wrecking ball. Another try.
