Because we can't have a World Cup without the Islanders being hosed over, Alesana Tuilagi has copped a 5-week ban for "kneeing" Japan's Harumichi Tatekawa in the head. gently caress knows what the citing commissioner was watching, as it was clearly accidental contact caused by Tatekawa going in too low.

I love Leinster and I couldn't be happier that Jordie Barrett has signed with them on a short term deal.
Hahaha, the English judicial final decision is amazing :

“I have seen Mr Tuilagi play rugby many times, enough to know that what I have seen is not his normal running style".

Banned for a World Cup game and Newcastle's first 4 games of the season, for running funny?

On the plus side it's showing the game. On the other hand there's a massive group of what could turn into Bantz Lads later on. There's also not a single woman in here apart from the barmaid. think I'm too old for this place.

Ma'a Nonu is set to earn his 100th test cap, making him the 6th All Black to achieve this milestone. Remarkably, 4 of the 5 previous test centurions are in the current squad with him (Richie McCaw - 142, Keven Mealamu - 128, Tony Woodcock - 117, Daniel Carter - 108; Mils Muliaina finished his test career exactly on 100 test caps).

The 2nd half is going to kick off before the 1st half ends.

When do Namibia get to bring their guy back on?

All I can hear is banter and poo poo music but it seems fundamentally wrong that you can survive pressure like that by going to uncontested scrums. Are all Namibia front rowers dead then?

Both tight head proper are in the sin-bin, and they don't have anyone else who can play that position.

I thought you could bring them back on and have to take someone else off ( usually one of the back row). Basically I was under the impression that there has to be no fit front row left before uncontested scrums took place.

I'm probably wrong though, I've not followed rugby as closely as I used to over the last couple of years.

^^Only with tac subs. Sin binned players are off the field. They're never allowed back until the time is up.


They should try doing it more often. Georgia can't exploit uncontested scrums as well.

That makes sense. Still seems like a bit of a loophole though.

You're not actually wrong.

Due to the physical requirements of the scrum and the danger it can present to untrained front-rowers (who can be quite specialised in their roles), front-row forwards that were removed due to tactical reasons can be brought back to replace an injured teammate. If they're injured, basically they're out of the game.

It is. There was another international sometime in the last few years where something similar happened, but I can't remember who it was.

It could easily have been avoided by stopping at the point of "Do that again and you're off" and just awarding the penalty try.

Loud and annoying. Although to be fair I'd probably have been doing the same when I was a student. There's millions of good pubs in York, that wasn't really one of them.

Saying all that mind, I'll probably go back there to watch the rest of the games this week.

Japan probably. Tuilagi, as always in a major competition, has probably spent more time making sure he's looking good or putting in a big hit for the camera (that usually results in a missed tackle) than actually playing rugby.

I'm struggling to think of the last time I saw him play well for Samoa.
