RWC: ENG v WAL (Twickenham): POOL A

[Mr Doug]

I'm expecting to hear of a major sponsorship deal between England Rugby, and the VW Auto Group.
It would be a good fit, given that both organisations have recently been accused of "performing below expectations"!

Any citing? There was some discussion over a similar incident involving Dan Carter in the NZL v ARG game.

The deadline has passed.

Unless Wales put in a request yesterday then it isn't likely to happen.

Oh God Huw don't lets start that up again!

 

[Dewald Nel]

It's a by-product of doing it 3 years in advance which is completely unnecessary

It's 2 years and 9 months.

Obviously there are logistical reasons as well. I'm sure they do it as late as possible.

Why is his nickname Sanjay?

Why is his nickname Sanjay?

Think it's cos he looks like sanjay off Eastenders. Must've had the name for a while mind

Just wondering about the apparent inconsistency of the passion about such incidents on here.

With so many broken heroes, someone knocked out cold just seems like a malingerer.

 

[Cardiffblue]

As you can see we didn't in fact win. The cheer squad has already re written history. Please knock them out so this lot will stop printing drivel!

I'm pretty glad I didn't get the reference then.

Can someone tell me if George North is actually good? He never appeals as a winger of actual quality but my southern hemisphere bias may be showing.

hmm well he does have 5 tries against AUS to his name.

Rise for your fathers sheep shaggers

S'funny. Dunno why but perhaps because I hadn't heard it for so long, since your posting I Just thought of Rob Brydon when he rails against anti Welsh racism by telling the joke,

Q. 'what do you call a sheep tied to a lamp post in Cardiff?

A. A leisure centre

The hearing is in a few hours -- it's only 4 in the morning in England right now. The video footage just showed Wood crawling back off the ruck, and that's where it looks like Williams catches one of Wood's studs in the forehead. But apparently Wood caught Williams in the head with his shin going into that ruck -- which is why Wood was falling over when he kicked back getting back up to his feet.

But the producers didn't replay any of the possible angles, and only showed the kicking back once. Don't know what evidence there is to go on right now.

(Let's not dredge the Carter one up again. If hands are feet, he kicked him.)

Nah you're right he's rubbish! Hold that thought in case we play NZ

 

[Cardiffblue]

Yes, Blue, it was only because of work commitments back in the accounts dept. at the Whistler Blackcomb Ski Resort!

bummer of a job! cant see why she'd want to leave England

 

[mxyzptlk]

The Telegraph reporting that Wood has apologised to Williams, and

Wood wait to have until 10am on Monday to discover whether he has been cited by Italian citing commissioner Maurizio Vancini for the incident, with any disciplinary hearing to be held within 48 hours from the final whistle on Saturday night.

I thought he was bloody fantastic on the weekend.

 

[Braveheart81]

Here's someone's video of the Wood/Williams incident.

It probably looks worse from the opposite angle which they showed on The Cup Runneth Over last night.

It's definitely a reckless play from Wood. In AFL this would be "kicking in danger."
