Shameful of England to let that try in at the end. We are going to get battered by the first good team we face.

No games tomorrow. It'll be a good opportunity to catch up on all the early games that I tried to wake up for but ultimately slept through.

the only joy from that USA game as an American was when they put in the jumbo fullback for a blood sub, everything else was pretty awful. the downtown Tokyo fanzone is really nice btw and will be good when it's a good game and not full of English fans making castles out of spent Heineken tins. I'll definitely go again after work next week.

Why do I continue to insist on rooting for teams that continue to disappoint me ![]() After watching the replay of England-USA (finally, these time zones are a bitch being in the US) I would like to clarify that I meant Fiji. I have no national pride. sephiRoth IRA fucked around with this message at 07:23 on Sep 27, 2019 |

My brain decided to play tricks on me by rearranging itself to wake me up at 3am, probably because I told it it'd be daydrinking. Now I'll probably be wired all day and sleep until midday tomorrow.

Tempted to make Jiffy's noise at 50 seconds the notification sound for my phone. Has this been discussed yet? https://www.bbc.com/sport/rugby-union/49845414 Reece Hodge (the Australian winger) has been banned for 3 weeks for the high tackle in the Fiji game. During his hearing he said he had no idea about the new rules/guidelines for high tackles, and hadn't received any training on it from his coaches. stavros880 fucked around with this message at 11:39 on Sep 27, 2019 |

That it's being enforced is kind of new, but I don't ever remember a time when it was technically OK to smash a fella inna face.

Think Lee-lo and Quill got 3 weeks as well. Motu Matu’u is awaiting the sentencing.

USA's John Quill has been banned for 3 weeks, for Schadenfreude. The ban was reduced from 6 weeks to 3 weeks, because Owen Farrell spoke in Quill's defense ![]()

One of the things I appreciate most about rugby is the concern about player safety. I mean, at that late England breakaway in the Eng-USA game they were 100% going to score a try and the ref stopped the game because a player was down. I think that the focus on high tackles is a good thing and that Twitter dude is wrong.

Farrell has had worse, he probably just sees it as the price of being him. Quill didn't call him a oval office at the same time so it obviously wasn't malicious.

The dust-up that happened right after that was because of the high tackle, right? Also the arm-tuck on that tackle was extremely telling, in my fat couch spectator opinion. Dude didn’t even attempt a proper tackle, it was a hockey check.

Pro14 kicks off tonight! Perfect for anyone jonesing with the world cup on a break day. The pro14 started as a Celtic league but now includes Italian and South African teams because reasons. The Cheetahs are currently 10-0 up against the Glasgow Warriors, while Ulster kick off against Ospreys in an hours time.
