RWC23 - Pool B - SA, IRE, SCO, TON, ROM

[Dan54]

By geez that was pretty impressive by the Bokke I thought. Forwards creamed Scots, and backs just play within themselves. A very good win I thought.

A 7-1 bench, and now 4 halfbacks in the match day squad...

Something tells me they're going for some quick ball this round

Apparently Marx has done his ACL. A genuinely irreplaceable player. Massive. Especially with only two hookers in the squad. Mbonambi is such a step down.

Whichever 9 gets the least amount of tries will be going home...

In comes the fridge.

Mbonambi isn't half the player Marx is and he's gobby on the park too, which pisses a lot of refs off.

Mbonambi still better than any of our hookers to be fair

I'm not that sure he is.

He was playing tiddlywinks in his hotel room. Injured on a off day in the hotel, suspicious brother.

I got jammy and drew Ireland in the office sweepstakes so now find myself more invested in their remaining pool matches than the ABs. Fortunately this one is on at a reasonable NZ time, and Ireland are enjoyable to watch, so will definitely get amongst it.

The Tongan front row weighs 387KG, that's impressive. I'd expect you will see Ireland moving the ball quick in this game, I don't think Tonga will handle Irelands break down speed and will end up very one sided.

Halftime 31-13, Ireland look to be a bit strong .

I can not wait for the hour long Rassie video on this one, at least the world can now see what we have been saying down here for years BOK is terrible lol. Boks lost it with their kicking but that decision at the end omfg it was Raynal bad.

 

[Highlander35]

Simple equation.

BP wins against Tonga and Romania. Win against Ireland, Ireland no BPs.

Or Ireland 1 BP and a PD turnaround of around 130

the stan app has anti screen technology so I screen shot it to show, but when BOK blew the whistle at 80.13 as a collapsed maul he said "it hasn't come out" it was in the hands of de allende playing 9 at the back. He even held it up in front of BOK & he just looked at him & walked off.

Yeah OQueefe is one of the worst
