Although I laughed - that's actually the England FOOTBALL team coach, not Rugby.

That joke is about a year out of date

A year old and for another code Yet still very very funny.
They invented both codes too

Well, at least the England Rugby Union Football team has won a World Cup this century,
- whereas the last England Association Football ( soccer) World Cup win was nearly 50 years ago..

& all the other British teams are out of the contest now too..

I was sorry to see the Scot's miss out after coming so close. Guess Joubert wont be walking the moors of Culloden on his own any time soon. TMO usage is a prickly issue, damn'ed if they use it, damn'ed if they don't.

Joubert claimed the infringement was outside the terms of use for the TMO and he ruled according to how he saw it at the time!

In a game there are inevitably winners and losers - shit happens sometimes - congratulations Australia felicitations Scotland - next time maybe!

Edit: For what it's worth - I thought the Scots robbed Samoa - what goes round comes round.

Did anyone else realise that when the ref blew up the melee that was happening when there was the altercation after the non punch.
When the ref said to the person out of camera shot "get off the field now"
He was talking to Liam Messam. Who had you guessed it, again ran on the field during a fight.

Yes I definitely heard that!

I didn't know for sure but I certainly wondered about it and thought FFS! - Never really gave it much more thought until I read your post.

Do you know for sure it was actually him? - Stupid cunt if it was! (IMO)

It was mentioned on the post match that is was the All Blacks "WaterBOY"

That's the waterboy for you.

Fighting is thirsty work.

Pinnochio entered the Worlds Best Liar Competition.
10 minutes later he came outside crying.
"Whats the matter Pinnochio"? said Geppatto.
Pinnochio wipes the tears from his cheeks..."Who the fuck is Chris Cairns."

[Grumph]

To tie the two subjects together, I'm surprised Shag hasn't been accused of match fixing... I watched the game against France and could only think "Shag's taken his foot off the brake and put it on the loud pedal..."

[awa355]

Methinks Cairns might get a holiday with free accommodation from this. It is about perjury, not match fixing, and not looking good for him.

The NH rugby bosses still think they are on a winner with their northern style of rugby.

...re: NH rugby...Hansen said it all when he said NH rugby is at a disadvantage because of two things, the shit weather that is detrimental to ever being able to play an expansive game for 60 to 70% of their season and their use of SH players instead of utilising their huge club potential...I don't doubt him...

That may be quite close to the truth I think. It'll be interesting to see what is said about that after it's all over.

I think is was a combination of trying a few subtle things through the pool games (so just treating them as full on practice runs) and just not showing everything you have.
