Rwc 2015?

**Woodman** · 28th October 2015, 16:55

Its normal that whenever Rugby is mentioned some tosser has to spout out that "it isn't the most popular game in the world you know".

We all know that you tosser, so just fuck off and let us enjoy the footy.

...I heard some txt read on National Radio this morning, something like, 'violent, gladiatorial, game played by male thugs...gladiatorial game, are the only two accurately descriptive words in that shite...I agree Woodman, fuck off ya wankers...

Tonight's tri-fector will be won by the strongest team - I sure hope that it will not be the referee and his team that dominate!

Australia will (as usual) win the talkfest yap yap yap yapping away at the referee!

Too much to hope for an all round performance like the Super 15 final between Hurricanes and Highlanders - almost the perfect game to watch IMO!

If Australia win tonight the whole of New Zealand will haemorrhage from every orifice for another four years (and beyond) - it will be insufferable!

Like last time just 1 point will be enough to numb the nagging pain!

Thank God I don't work with any Aussies if that result does come to pass.

Any of those top teams are capable of beating each other on the day - still think referees have too much influence on the outcomes - despite the days actual play!

The local Honda shop has an Aussie parts guy.

I'm either going to enjoy turning up on Monday morning to pick up the parts he's ordered for me or I'm going to have to send my wife in to get them.

A 1 point win will be because Ritchie McCaw held on too long, did not roll away, head butted, shoulder charged, took over the ref's whistle, was still on the field, according to some. I would like to see some daylight between the scores.

If Aussie do win, the sun will still come up the next morning. Just don't read the papers for the next 12 months.

I have been reading the pommy comments on their news websites. Most want the Aussies to win. The 'Tall Poppy' syndrome isn't just a kiwi thing.

I am pretty sure NZ invented it though.

Yes, I guess that's because any penalty they give within say 45 metres of the posts gives a chance at points whereas in football (the round ball one) a refs decision generally just means the opposition has to stand back 10 metres while the other team takes a free kick. A couple of ways to reduce the impact of the ref on the final score:
- Make more offences free kicks instead of penalties
- Perhaps some penalty offences (technical nature, rather than trying to seek advantage or slow the game down, are only worth two points.)
- Allow a captain to request review on decisions as they have in cricket (Yes, I know it would slow the game down). Similar deal to cricket ... you're allowed 1 or 2 unsuccesful reviews per game. (I thnk they do this in American Football).

Oh I don't know, it should make for an enjoyable few days if you ask me.

I really don't mind the Aussie team winning if they deserve it - but Australia the Nation is beyond the pale!
