phil bottle 9,796 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Not often I post about Rugby but there was a major result this weekend. The USA beat Scotland. No offence Americans but that's got to be one of the biggest upsets in world rugby. First US win ever against a tier 1 team. Lol Scotland are shite🤣 GazzaGarratt, J4MES OX4D and Plumbers Crack 3 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/5839-rugby/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil bottle 9,796 Posted June 17, 2018 Author Share Posted June 17, 2018 England rugby boys are on a poor run of form, which @Diddums will be happy about, as South Africa have been taking advantage. Meanwhile the Irish rugby boys beat Australia on the same day the Aussies got beat by England in the cricket and by the French at f.ootball.

GazzaGarratt 11,065 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 England are in a right bad patch of late.

The3rdWalker 1,273 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 USA is in the era where we have players in our systems for 10-20 years now. I started playing at 16 in 2004. We now have the MLR (Major League Rugby) We've taken Union very seriously over the past decade to develop youth programs and high level camps. I was losing my mind during this game. 7s success started the itch, now it's 15s time!

I played a handful of matches but it was all of the parts of rugby I loved that are missing in league. However, I will say that until our elite rugby programs took off here in the States that League was the best form of the sport to bridge the cap for Americans who love the NFL to get into Rugby.

Particularly the 5 attempts to move forward before having to relinquish possession. I'd say League is the tougher game requiring higher levels of fitness, it's also a more exciting game to watch as there's much less starting and stopping.

USed to really enjoy it bakc in the day with Wigan and St. Helens dominating but its a sport that hasn't really lifted off and very heavily centred around northern England. Sevens is a great spectacle on the other hand with the high fitness required. Some Saturday mornings are spent with the whole tournament on in the background.

Ireland hammered Scotland the other day and South Africa were stern opposition for the All Blacks, but not stern enough.

Didn’t help that I was sat in a barber’s chair on Saturday afternoon when a smug fuck in an All Black shirt came and sat in the seat next to me. The japs are a force to be reckoned with, make no mistake. We made a grave error of underestimating them last WC and learned from it.

Japan has continued to grow it's sport over the past 10 years due to a very healthy influx of expats coming over there to play. I love the growth they have went through as a rugby nation.

GazzaGarratt 11,065 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I thought it was a solid display from England against a strong, physical Tongan side. Also lots to improve on as we gave away some almighty stupid and naive penalties throughout. Just glad to get through it with a Bonus Point as well. Scotland just ended up being as inconsistent as they usually are. Ireland were probably there for the taking but the potential that the Scots always seem to have just faded as they made unforced errors and mistakes in Irelands 22. Ireland could build slowly so very wary of their progress. Also, England have to be at their best against Argentina. France were very lucky they played a completely different side in the first half to the second. Really enjoying this WC so far.

Laidback Lankyman 173 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Today’s England v South Africa was a fucking awesome game (soz Didds). The autumn internationals have produce some real gold this time around, especially off the back of Ireland’s win over the All Blacks and, even though the score ran away in the end, the at times 13 man Fijians scaring the shit out of Wales, but the game today was an great one. Just a shame it wasn’t 2 years ago. Hopefully the Wales v Australia and France v New Zealand games will be as good.
