Un-Australian Activities 2019

Getting a bit boring now. Think I'll go watch Boise State play on their psychedelic field instead.

EDIT: Ah, that's right. All the damned ads. Back to the rugby it is.

C'est magnifique, mais ce n'est pas la Test Footy.

Late surge from Tonga not quite enough to steal it at the death. They'll be disappointed with that, but gives them something to build on going into the RWC. The All Blacks, on the other hand, looking shaky in letting Tonga score all their points in the championship minutes. Smh. Based on their respective warm-ups, South Africa have to be firm favourites for the opening pool match.

NZ practice for RWC red card syndrome by purposefully playing with 14 for last 20 mins? NO, WE'RE NOT ARROGANT, WHY EVER WOULD YOU SAY THAT? ​

Jordie had to be carded. Tongan guy has to just wear an illegal and dangerous hit because of some 2 klutzes out of control accidental collision and Jordie's reckless irresponsibility? AH CANT SPAKE. WE ALL CANT SPAKE.

ffs Tonga. They even made Ryan Crotty look like Bo Jackson.

lol Pakalani should hand in his wingers card after getting sized up by a flanker and flat out gassed for pace on the outside

Actually DP I thought the Tongan wing that tripped Reece was lucky he didn't get in the shit for that.
I thought playing with 14 made a lot of sense, if you going to practice for WC games, you need to pracyice if you got player in bin too in a game like that. I pleased the ABs didn't crack a 100 as that would of been even worse for Tongans!

54-0 at HT so 100 under serious threat. I don't see how that benefits anyone, AB included.

I kind of agree who benefits WOB, but who knew Tongans would be so bad or ABs so good whatever the case may be. I didn't see anyone on any rugby forums suggesting game shouldn't be played!

^ fair call Dan, I guess after watching Tonga v Fiji last week I expected them to be a little less porous on defence, like maybe 54-7 or somesuch.

Ireland 19-10 Wales to go top of the WR (World Rugby) rankings.

RWC's in 2003, 11 & 15 were won by the team who went in ranked no. 1 so Ireland will be hoping to continue the trend, everyone else will want to join SA 2007 in contradicting it.

Yeah,

Not too much in it lately.

Personally hoping SA wins it to become the first team to win the RWC on three different continents.

This is brilliant by the way.
