The Canadian Haka for when we play New Zealand mid-week

 

 

 

Would a haka like this not carry more implicit menace to your opponents?

 

[Anubis]

Is it wrong to laugh every time the camera pans to Lavanini sat on the bench in near tears?

[Anubis]

Get in. Try number two.

[Anubis]

Get in. Try three right on half time. Finally a nice chunk of daylight.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Poor half of Rugby if truth be told. Argentina with indiscipline and a deserved red card for Lavanini, sloppy from England, although they have kept the ball in play for as long as possible and due to the numerical disadvantage the Argies are blowing out of their arse. OF having a nightmare with the boot. Only going one way in the second half, hopefully we can get through it without injury. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Try no 4 and OF finally gets one between the sticks. 

[Red Shift]

All Blacks heading for a quarter final with Ireland if Japan keep winning, and Box get Japan as 2nd placers in that pool.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Japan are a joy to watch when they start shifting the ball quickly.

Destroy either of them. Bring it the fuck on.

Enjoyed that earlier, even if the contest was killed by a badly judged tackle.  I do think if they're so dedicated to player safety there should be an HIA after such challenges as well.  Also, I think it's mad they didn't have Cordero in the squad.  Their try showed what a clever runner could still do against our line as it tired and he was great last season, from wing and full back (gutted we couldn't keep hold of him tbh).

 

Mako and Slade looked a bit rusty, but good to see them get some time on there.  Cordero could've told the Argies to keep hold of Nowell when they try to tackle him as well.  No way that was going to stop him, great to see him getting over the line again.

[Pidge]

Great try. Was thinking they should slow it down and run the clock in the last five yards for a bit, but they go to the backs and make it look easy.

Been one of the better games this.

Samoa have found a bit of form but Japan still too good. Sets up a great game V Scotland, because despite winning all three games Japan might still not qualify, although you expect them to beat Scotland. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Another very good performance from Japan. They really are a joy to watch.

I’m not sure Japan are that good ;-)

Might be a bit of money to be made here , fancy Scotland for that one.

[Pidge]

Hope not, I want Hogg to Exeter as soon as possible.

Not so sure, they have a chance though.

Am I right the top 3 teams go through the groups

 

 

If so it's fucking pointless

[Stickman]

Have to say that Haka is a bit silly, grown men jumping up and down pulling tongues ...About as intimidating as Julian Clarey ....

 

 

Obviously I wouldn't say that to their faces 

[Lee909]

Not sure why the other teams line up to watch. Just get on with your warm up. Fuck em, shouldn't be a requirement to watch.

You can both wind your necks in, its rugby tradition.

 

If England wanted to do some Morris dancing before the game, they'd be quite welcome to.

Almost as silly as singing soppy songs from a Rodgers and Hammerstein musical before a game.

Careful a Nigerian Kiwi has just given a Aussie a beating in MMA and they all think they're as hard.
