SWING LOWWW - The Rugby World Cup Thread

Was at the Amex today. Only WC game i had tickets for and probably the best atmosphere i've been in at a sport event. Incredible stuff.

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.

Sick read you should gamble for a living

Bit of a rub for the woodsey's of the world!  

Don't fuck with the rugby gods mother fucker, they just gave me that gift so I could stick one back in your eye!!!  

2nd lifetime 1.01 loser.  2nd biggest ever losing bet in 20 years.  First ever pre game 1.01 loser.  Might have to upgrade my 'impossible to win' range to 50 points!  40 must be too low.  Incredible what i can get beat when i post on this forum.  Literally the first game after making the statement.  Japan were 250/1 pre game on betfair.  got another 1.01 cert for everyone tonight.  lolazza will be back with a new account. 

wonga and ocean finance must be busy with man city losing at 1/4 as well.  

You got owned muthafucka, suck it up!! 

Cheers woodsey.  Nothing like a fellow tory's support when you are being carried out on a stretcher!

Sorry mate, didn't clock till just now that you had lost a lump. Was just intended as a bit of banter not a genuine rub about losing a wedge

No worries bud.  It happens.  It was a wedge though!  I can take banter with the best of them.  I had enough practice.

Someone must have backed Japan at 250/1+ surely just on my ability alone to get things beat on this site when i put short ones up.  Reckon Marky has paid for vegas with a fiver on at 250/1 and keeping quiet!

They were cat D tickets, row b in the south stand - just behind the posts that Japan were attacking first half. My brother in law got the tickets and i believe they were £15!

Eng v Aus and Wales tickets been popping up all night, mostly singles. Got an Aussie one myself, couldn't resist it, an excuse to go to London is always welcome for me.......

Yep was for sure, decent school/uni player. Problem I had was I was good at 4 or 5 sports, rugby, squash, shot putt, discus and Javelin. At uni just loved playing squash the most so went with that really....fat fuck now so the truck loads of sport I did in my younger years did me the world of good lol.

Yeah was a shame to see your post. I'm sure most people shared your analysis but wouldn't have the conviction to follow it up. At least there are a bunch of similar matches left still to claw a few % back.

South Africa has now played international rugby against 25 teams and has a positive win/loss record against all of them except two - New Zealand and Japan.

Rugby for newbies

the south african sports minister has his say

Japan are still 6/1 v Scotland tomorrow despite being ranked above them.
