dugg90 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Best game of the tournament so far I think 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraziekatz1 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I am a sore loser....hate rugby now! I feel the blame lies solely with Pr. William.... Good game though, and fair play to the Welsh, let's hope they can recruit some more players for their next game. As my m8 said: Football is 90 mins of men running around pretending they are hurt.

Adrian@TORQEN Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Who on Earth watches football again after watching a rugby match like the England vs Wales game yesterday? Off to Wembley for Romania vs Ireland 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Was that a good game then? I'm not a huge rugby person, and don't understand most of the rules, but it didn't seem particularly exciting to me. Too much kicking, not enough running.

Adrian@TORQEN Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I'm not an expert, but IMO it was the best match so far in the RWC2015. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kraziekatz1 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Exactly right! The ref last night was pretty cool....handled the er, small disagreement very well I thought! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 What a game!!!! Being a Welsh support Im hugely happy with how the team played, especially in the 2nd half, really stepped up the game. Shame about the injuries, but hopefully this means some fresh players with some new lines to surprise the rest For those that do not support Wales, England or rugby, the game probably wasnt the best, but from about 2 hours before I was nervous and it was nail biting to the end!!! Thats a brilliant video.... and I remember seeing a couple of soccer players that came to a six nations and they got interviewed and they were saying how great it was...... oh yes and they can have a pint!!!

galgazza Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Football everyday for me everyday im afraid. Watched Wales beat England last night but failed see nay skill in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioneabee Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 That video is the reason I won't watch football - their referees (and association) need to grow a pair and sort it out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilogikal1 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 The referees in football are terrible these days, agreed. Nearly as bad and bemusing as the "bonus points" crap in the rugby. Nearly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a huge rugby person, and don't understand most of the rules, but it didn't seem particularly exciting to me. Too much kicking, not enough running. Kickings a big part of the modern game now Dan I'm afraid. There's so much more passion and respect in rugby. I do like football but prefer to play and watch rugby. Gets the adrenaline pumping more.

docwra Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Posted elsewhere but thought I should probably stick it in here too: Loving all the Welsh telling us they "smashed" us .......... it was 3 points guys, and even the bookies were backing England until the death. Fair play to Wales but I thought we lost it more than you won it TBH. As for not taking the kick, I can see his thinking - it would have been a difficult kick, our maul was stronger every time other than the one we needed it to be, and the Japanese got unconstrained praise for doing the same thing, albeit from a much easier kicking position. What I will say is I dontt hink either team would get close to the big three ......... I guess we will find out later this week though Best game Ive seen so far was SA vs Japan, but I reckon Ive probably watched 85% and I havent seen a bad game yet. The gap between the second and first tier is closing, but I havent seen any ball handling to touch the Kiwis/Aussies/SA yet, and I dont think any of the Northern Hemisphere teams are gong to win on the forwards alone. While Im here, can anyone explain how it the groups ended up with 3 potential winners in Group A, 2 potential winners in Group D and only one each in B and C? Wales/England/Australia not making the second round while Scotland win a group and Argentina potentially go through after 2 losses isnt really fair ........... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Not a sport i follow but any pundits i heard all said England played the better rugby and were the better team. I just dont get why so many penalties are given within kicking distance though, if i were a coach, that would annoy me beyond belief, although one penalty were the english dude was trapped between two Wales players and was done for not rolling away is ridiculous, sorry but if you are interfering with play and can move fine, but if you physical cannot get out the way, it shouldnt be a penalty, perhaps a scrum at best.

docwra Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 One of the beauties of Rugby is that the better team dont always win As for the penalties, youre bang on the money, discipline is something England have always struggled with. Compare that with Japan who gave barely anything away and kept the ball live for 8.5 minutes after the final whistle, or the Kiwis who cheat all the time and never get picked up for it and its frustrating to say the least. Sometime it can look like its an over refereed game, but watch Rugby from 25 years ago and youll see the difference, it used to just be fat blokes lying around in mud for 80% of the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I understand if penalties are forced, collapsing the scrum, maul by the opposing team pressuring you, but handling the ball on the floor, rolling away (unless impeded), in from the side etc crazy to give away in your own half.
