RWC 2019
The Bears run out of steam against the Cherry Blossoms!
The Wallabies given a hell of a scare by the Flying Fijians! Los Pumas denied by a cunning droppy from Les Bleus! The ABs put on the back foot by the Boks! And that's just the first 24 hours! |

I have to somewhat agree about penalising the attacking player (Kerevi) for dangerous play.
If a defender can be penalised because in the process of tacking, the attacking player falls so the tackle hits the head (so no real wrong doing from the defender). Then an attacking player should be able to be penalised for something dangerous. A fend against a the throat of a player would fall into that. |

attacking the head, banned |

Yep, if 8 years ago the focus had been on protecting the head as much as it is today.
I think there is a slight difference in a defender using his palm on the face vs using his elbow (which is actually illegal). But it could still be considered dangerous, maybe just in a different way. |

Daym, Namibia playing their hearts out.

Japan win, Scotland lose in Typhoon Hagibis chaos
Absolute bullshit if they can't sort an alternative time or venue.

Fuck me I've never seen the ABs absolutely dominated like that before. Oh well c'mon South Africa

It's been a while since I've had a morning-after-the-ABs-get-knocked-out hangover.
England deserved that. Eddie Jones is surely the craftiest coach in the game. I don't think any one of the Roses is superior to his opposite All Black but they were definitely the better team on the night. Grats! |

So far this World Cup England have convincingly beaten Argentina, Australia, NZ and if I was a betting man I wouldn't put money on SA in the final. This is England turning the last World Cup result completely on its head.

This “fined for disrespecting the haka” bullshit is bullshit.

The FINE is what's disrespectful as it shows they have zero concept about what Ka Mate is saying and what a haka is. The haka is a challenge. If someone wants to respond rather than just standing there like stumps, that's GOOD.

What an entertaining game! England just pipped us as the biggest chokers of the tournament. Bringing their A game to the semis then not backing up.

Totally. Was not expecting that game at all, England did NOT bring their gameplay of the previous week and South Africa played better than they have all year.
Gratz SA! |

I reckon their whole game was based around beating the ABs, what happened after that was of lesser consequence.

Haven't checked snopes but apparently in every world cup so far any team that beats the AB's goes on to lose their next game.

Yep - that looks to be correct.

I take that back - 1991 Australia beat NZ and then beat England in the final.

The game brought up the stupidity of the penalty advantage. England get a penalty near the goal line and basically the advantage doesn't end until they do something to lose the ball.
30+ phases. Even the commentator said they can just keep going knowing they have the penalty They have clearly played the advantage. Needs to be changed to something like if they advance 10 metres, or 5 phases of play then advantage is over. |

Oh, I forgot the crucial one, a drop kick attempt is advantage over.
