They should just have a five minute time-out for a punch up.

Each side picks a representative and the rest of the players form a circle around them cheering their guy on.

HappyCamperGL posted:It's also a silly argument because even if they did the draw more recently Argentina were outside the top 8 for the last couple of years. Ireland were out the top 8 just two years ago too. Which could have had just as tough a group. This is a good point. Bottom line there are 8 "top tier" teams, NZ, Aus, SA, Arg, Fra, Eng, Wal and Ire. All you need is for one of those teams to slip out of the top 8 whenever the draw is done and you have "GROUP OF DEATH". Now that Argentina's a proper top tier side (if they can beat SA and Aus, you bet they can beat any NH team having a mediocre day), you're almost always going to have this. And this is a good thing, not a bad one. There wouldn't be this much gnashing of teeth if Wales or Aus dropped out of the group, it's just England are feeling doubly entitled since they're hosting and they're, well, England.

It's just England. They were happy with the group when they thought Wales were going to be the ones to lose out. In previous bouts of English over confidence we've had "England should join Tri-Nations", "England should break off with France", "England will put 100 points on Wal/Sco/Ire soon" Their media are hilarious and the next few months are going to be stellar because of it.

Anyone know of any pubs in York that will be showing the rugby this week? I know I could always watch it on ITV Player on the laptop, but it's not quite as good. Also, my lovely Travelodge TV doesn't get ITV4.

The Beast is looking to take some American knee ligaments home with him today if he keeps tackling like that.
