Rugby world cup
- Thread starter scream

Who is the Heinze lookalike at the end of that French row there?
are France +17 decent value at evens??
Yes. I can't believe those odds.
How good are England nowadays in Rugby?
Same as football, great players however not so great as a team.
France could snatch this!
come on France!
So New Zealand choked and only just got away with it.
Kiwis win
Thank god its over...
Watching the presentation and a bunch of backroom staff, how hugely symbolic was it that Bobby Charlton refused to wear the 08 CL medallion he was given.

Rugby is boring..
Congrats to Kiwis, but French very unlucky.
I am now convinced that the "so called" gap between Southern & Northern Hemisphere rugby is as good as closed. The 6 nations teams can now compete with the tri-nation boys!

Maybe true, but it's a sad day for rugby when the shit, boring NH approach can compete with the SH style.
Because that hasn't changed - France played tedious efficient rugby, England and Ireland played tedious inefficient rugby, only Wales made any attempt to be expansive. (Scotland were just shit).
Why comment in the thread then?
It would've been off-topic in the cricket thread.
No one comes into the cricket thread calling it boring. Discuss the sport (in this case the rugby world cup) in question in the thread, keep all other things to yourself you cock.
Calm down, it's just an internet forum.

Perhaps the same reason Euro snobs stick their nose in the American sports threads and spout the same tripe?
It is rather pointless but for some reason people love to rile others up. I can't stand cricket but you won't find me posting in there these days (though I probably have in the past).
The reason I posted that was that this is the second Rugby world cup I am following, and the game seems to be a lot more boring. Most of the points are scored from stationary positions(penalties and conversions). There are so few tries. I don't know anything about rugby, but this is a bit like watching a really attritional football match with the match being decided by a penno or two given away in the 90 mins.
The last time I watched a WC, I actually enjoyed it.
