Rugby World Cup

[c_dug]

I'm surprised there isn't already a thread about this, or have I missed it somewhere? A search revealed nothing!

I suppose being into motorcycles and rugby must whittle down the numbers a little but there must be more than just me following the (2nd?) biggest sporting event to come to our shores in recent years!

We're off to a decent start anyway, I was impressed by our pace at the end of the game, Brown impressed as always. Such power. Many aggression. Wow.

I enjoyed the game. Like you said, Brown was on top form. Let's just hope they carry on like they did in 2003.

I'm going to Wales vs Uruguay tomorrow at the Millenium Stadium. Pretty sure it's going to end with a cricket score.

A guide to enjoyable watching of the rugby union World cup 2015.

First pick a game and click on Sky +.
Wait until the game has finished, (try not to see the result)
Use the skip button to skip past the scrums, lineouts and penalties, this will leave you with between 8 and 12 minutes to watch.
This 8 to 12 minutes is called "open play".
During open play press your skip forward button until the number 12 appears on the screen, the sped up footage will now make it look very similar to Rugby League.
You may want to slow it down to watch try celebrations, but these are very rare, so don't worry.
When the game finishes, stay tuned to listen to a patronising snob put down one of the most talented players on the pitch, just because he once played Rugby League.

Follow this guide to enjoy the next six weeks.

I'm a rugby fan as well

wasn't overly impressed with the ref wasting time using the computerised ref so much

also had to explain the rules to my wife who hadn't watched a game before

Didn't see it, was having a curry. Much sad, very disappoint.

A colleague is stewarding for a lot of games. Paid time off work for it. I'm jelly.

Rugby, a game played by Gentlemen with odd shaped balls.

I'm probably going to be threatened with divorce by the end of the six weeks as I'm going to be stuck in front of the TV or in a pub!

I got threatened by the end of the football World Cup

I might go live on the barge for the duration

I've never really got league, I've tried to enjoy it but I guess I don't follow the game tactically like I do Union, having never played league.

Georgia v. Tonga is actually pretty good too, impressed at that final play of the half by Tonga, even if the try was disallowed.

League.

Can't stand it. Up then being brought up in Union country, the south West, there is no competition.

Sorry, didn't see this thread earlier.
Was busy watching the rugby ...!

What about those Japs, eh.
Putting the wind right up the Boks

Bloody lost a quid betting on Tonga. Lazy coconuts, very slack form indeed, for them! Georgians were awesomely neanderthal in comparison.

I know one style has less players and there is something about pay, but what are the main differences ?

I was very cross about that reffing last night. That little ref should have shown himself the yellow card several times for using too much telly.
