Only ten minutes of madness cost the Yarps a decent shot at that one.

A couple of stupid errors cost the Boks 2 tries. Another referee might also have blown a few of the areas of the game differently.

France and Australia don’t look contenders so far, but it’s early days... we once lost the opener 36-0 and still made the final.

No, just let opposing teams square up to it and do something silly e.g. line dancing, Morris dancing, Macarena...

What about the Braveheart gesture?

Assuming of course arrows are banned.

I don't think it's too far of the mark.

Hodge suspended for 3 weeks.

Rugby’s descent into clown sport status continues.

Tutus and leg-warmers will become mandatory safety wear soon.

Japan doing well to hold Ireland.

by taipan Sat 28 Sep 2019, 10:02

Ireland need a goal to tie.

by beamer Sat 28 Sep 2019, 10:44

And they got nowhere near it... throws that group wide open. A disastrous result for Scotland, who probably now have to beat Japan by a wide margin to stand a chance of going through. Samoa could still have a say as well.

Missed the Argentina win earlier... clearly Montoya was motoring and Carreras was on song. Wink

Did I read that Marnus’ brother plays for Japan?

Well, they have a Labuschagne, but no obvious evidence they’re related - seemingly born in different parts of SA, and no suggestion that the rugby player ever lived in Australia.
