I'll start the ball rolling
The Rugby World Cup - A Guide for Wendyball Fans

Some of you Football Fans will doubtless want to give some of your time to the RWC over the next few weeks, so you may find the following useful. Firstly, you may have noticed that England have been paired with Uruguay. Do not be alarmed, they are actually sh*t. Surprisingly, more worrying are Wales, who are half handy, and Australia who are more than handy, they are Feck...ing Good. You may also have spotted Fiji. Fiji does not play Left side midfield for Southampton, its actually a place and we are playing them tonight

During the Matches you will see some disturbing sights. Players are going to get Hit. They are going to get Hit Extremely hard, and they are going to get up again without complaining, and without rolling around in agony. This is normal in Rugby, and is called Manning the **** Up. You will also notice that the Players will not surround the Referee and call him A ******. They will also not call the Touch Judge A Blind ******. Finally, the Crowd wil not sing 'The Referees A ******'. I know its Odd, but we kind of like it that way.

The Rules. This obviously is a tricky one. Four Years ago the Call of choice from Footie Fans was 'Over the Top Ref'. You were never right then, and chances are you wont be now. Far better to go with 'In at the Side'. Since neither the Players, the Ref or the Crowd ever get this right, there is every chance you may pull this one off. Just don't shout it during A Scrum or A Lineout as you will look A Complete Dick. Finally, don't bother shouting 'Not Straight' at A Scrum. No International Scrum has been fed straight since 1987, and that was an Accident

Watching in the Pub. This will be equally strange for You. Supporters of both Teams will be present and wearing their 'Colours'. They are not going to attempt to Kill or Maim each other, And they will not abuse each other with Foul Language. The Atmosphere will be pleasant (unless too many of you ********* turn up....) It will most definitely NOT be A wise move for you to 'Offer someone out'. In the unlikely event that someone from A Rugby Club 'Offers you out', The wisest course of action will be to leave via the Toilet Window.

I hope you find this useful, and please try not to be too much of A pain in the Arse. Enjoy!!

Typical Scrum Half ..... always wants to be in charge....... it's Laws not Rules :p ...... it's only Rules when the Queen's playing in her chosen position of blind side flanker.
As to scrums ..... don't get me started.
Ireland 29 v Canada 0 (HT) ......... it's like watching a schools game ....... don't think I've ever seen so many defensive gaps in a senior international.
Mind you I thought that Canada should have got a penalty on that very last move, don't think the Irish player tried to catch the intercept, just tried to knock it out of catchers line.

Today I am mainly drinking Orval (y) ,
 
On the Woodpecker for some reason got a hankering for it, currently dealing with a one eyed Jock on another site re the England game :facepalm:
"The mark of a team which had the match officials ensuring that the other side did not gain any advantage, plus a team that had Home advantage, and have come out of the draw in such a way that three of their most challenging games have Home advantage! I suppose to be kind I would use "Lucky" rather than "great".

On last night's performance England are not a great team. If they improve and step up their game to match and beat the other teams in their group then I would say they are a great team - so let's wait until at least 10 Oct before going down that route."
My measured response has been "Really England had the match officials in their pocket ? Give your head a wobble ffs. I think England did enough and took a 5 pointer from what might have been a disaster which shows some potential, they made some stupid mistakes, lets see if they learn from them."

Nothing wrong with Woodpecker (a bit industrial maybe) but OK when cold enough.
Try Addlestones Cloudy....... really a Gaymers product masquerading as a craft cider but reall pretty good drinking at 5%
His name wouldn't be Barry Sandilands by any chance. If so I was there when he left his eye on a roundabout returning from a game against Stirling County, bit careless of him really ......... Happy Days:D
As for England hardly a great performance but nothing of great concern either ..... a bit nervy maybe but thats to be expected.
Wales is the potential banana skin
 
FFS That makes Wednesday interesting. Don't often see that level of determination.
Just shows how important it is to never let the opposition get too far ahead, do that and play quick ball and the game can turn in an instant.
A surprising level of quality and self belief in the Japan side. :nailbiting:
 
How's this for an headline?

I just wish they'd respond to a Haaka with a Morris Dance :LOL:.
To clear up a couple of points, you can't get the ball rolling, it's the wrong shape, and although those on the pitch get hit, the spectators don't :). Enjoy everyone,
Regards, Gary.
