Good article in the telegraph about Dawson and this nonsense about why it makes people who hate rugby hate it even more.

Nigel Owens to TMO

'shall i tell you what i see'

TMO then insists on further replay.

Get on with it, Owens had made decision

We were discussing then at work this week.  A couple of weeks ago they were ranked ahead of Italy.  A few I know have adopted them and are going to see all their matches as they are all close together in the south west.  All their players seemed very chuffed at the end.  Good to see. 

Should have took the 7500/1 e/w!

georgia are hard men. one of the best scrums in the competition

huge win because if they can finish 3rd in the pool they automatically qualify for the next one

Loved the bit on 79.50 when the Georgian kicker seemed unaware he should be just kicking it out and had to be stopped and pointed in the right direction.

and while we are griping, shut the heck up when the fijians are doing the cibi, the all balcks are doing the haka, samoans, tongans etc

i don't want to hear 80,000 ra-ra's singing a frankly incongruous negro spiritual while one of the greatest specatcles in sport is drowned out, as last night

and while we are at stop singing swing low entirely. utterly ridiculous

http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/rugby-world-cup-why-its-time-for-england-to-stop-singing-swing-low-sweet-chariot-10505568.html

but mainly, shut up while the cibi and the haka are on. its fantastic, don't ruin it

Nah drown the fuckers out and make them feel intimidated 

not likely

a bit like cockerill and hewitt

challenge it, fire them up and get smashed or just respectfully accept the challenge and enjoy the spectacle?



I'm with Woodsey on this one, wouldn't even watch 'em prancing about if I was playing.

Do you ever really get big upsets in the Rugger?

I'm cheering for Japan here, do the underdogs ever win because I've never seen it in my limited experience.

No i think it is impossible for a team who are 40 point dogs or bigger to actually win a game of rugby.  Backing these teams at 1/100 to win is literally stealing money.  The combination of possesion/terrority and 15 man a side game (one player getting injured just has such little impact on the game) all combine to make shocks literally impossible imo.

I take it most of the smaller teams like Japan are amateurs with normal jobs most of the time?
