Yeah, you've shortchanged La Marseillaise there. A French crowd singing it a cappella is a great thing. It never gets played at the right speed though, like most of the anthems. A whole bunch would work much better if they got rid of the professional singer. Hell, the Scots can even do their dirge justice when they don't have a mezzo-soprano getting in the way. Also, I have just realised that my friends' wedding is on the 10th of October. Welp.

Are they doing concurrent war dances this year? I can't remember the last time I saw that.

I'm sure I remember seeing a tournament where they did them at the same time, shouting each other down.

A neutral colour commentator for some of the minor-team games. Talking about the play of people he has no pre-existing opinions of and whose names he can't remember.

Wales are going to either play the most boring, negative rugby known to mankind, or throw endless wild passes because their back line can only hold one game-plan in their mind at a time and someone suggested "flair" in the bar last night.

Is it one of those tedious leagues with 8 billion substitutions over the course of the tournament, or a "pick ~20 dudes and pray they don't die" one?

Last play desperation drop goal after they royally gently caress up for a 20 minute period, and they'll still fellate them like they spunk champagne.

It's got to be a simple enough song for drunk idiots to sing. You'll note how they sing one bit of Swing Low, and it's a bit with a lot of repetition. Good to see that both teams have already forgotten how to play in the rain.

The Ref is trying to lay down the law to get a clean tournament. I'm betting they just average more than a card a game.

Oh my. He dropped it. How loving long does the Ref get to change his mind? If he'd kicked that conversion before they blew up again, would it have counted?

The tournament's in England so the TMO is apparently allowed to be a time lord or some poo poo.

DickEmery posted:The real question is would ITV have shown the dropped ball if it was an England try. The TMO sits next to the camera angle man, so in theory he can call it without it ever going on TV first.

I'm starting to think ITV might have one of those things where they're not actually allowed to criticise the England team. Kind of like some Australian broadcasters do with the cricket.

England's offensive line looks all over the place. Far too many passes that should be simple but people are having to stretch and spin to get control of.
