Rugby Tests With No Matchday Thread

[Dismal Pillock]

Nations: Japan vs Uruguay
Venue: Tokyo, Japan
Date: Saturday, June 18, 2022 3pm kick-off Japan time

Japan with their 3 locals in the front row and 12 mercenary ring-in gaijin on fuck-knows what visas behind them will run riot over Uruguay today. They almost tipped over Ireland last year ffs.

Idiotic eligibility rules, pathetic sham, etc etc

 

[Dismal Pillock]

well, that's weird.

Jamie Joseph has actually selected some JAPANESE people to play test match rugby football for Japan.

This is actually a Jap "A" team. The top team, who will feature names like Gunter, Cornelson, Riley, Leitch, Moore etc, is gearing up for bigger matches.

Few Aussies kicking around in there.

 

[Pfitzy]

Is it being streamed?

 

[Dctarget]

Giddy up folks, lots of good 'other' rugby, all times AEST:
Fiji v Tonga 1.30pm
Japan v France 4pm (clashes a bit with NZ v Ireland)
Argentina v Scotland 5.10am Sunday

 

[Derpus]

Fiji v Tonga good fun so far. Fiji murdering Tonga.

 

[Derpus]

Try of the year contender that.

How’s the Tongan all star backline going

Havn't fired a shot. Folau off injured. 29-0 after 60.

 

[Derpus]

Australia A will do well to be within 20 of this Fiji side. Powerful, athletic, skillful and their set piece looks rock solid (usually their downfall).

I think this shows how a season of playing together has really knitted the Fijians together. They're going to be a force at the RWC.

Hopefully they can stuff Wales - that'd be fantastic.

Okeefe making up the time peyper couldn’t be bothered reffing

 

[Dismal Pillock]

LOL Japan vs France B, 34 degrees and EVERY sad fan in the crowd still wearing their mask. This after their govt explicitly told them to take their masks OFF when outside as heatstroke is more dangerous than covid at this stage.

34 fucking degrees and I bet the humidity is off the chain.

Lets go the frogs. Fuck this frankenfarce of a Japan island academy poaching sham forced rugby programme right up the fucken clacker

 

[Dctarget]

Japan doing well so far, didn’t realise how big Riley was. Good player.

 

[Derpus]

How are you watching

 

[Dctarget]

How are you watching

I pay for Canal+, that I use a VPN to use. It’s how the missus watches all her French stuff and I keep on top all Top 14.

I’m sure tho there’s many ways illegal streams floating around.

 

[Derpus]

Eh ceebs finding a dodgy stream.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

France not a huge amount of fucks given here. 34 degrees and happy to hoof it downtown then walk up in a staggered d-line and let Japan have a bit of a run around.

All the signs are there though. That pack has some absolute munters in it
