There are two Japanese guys in rugby shirts trying to walk down the street in Cardiff and they can't take two steps without someone shaking their hand of trying to hand them a pint. They've moved about twenty steps in ten minutes.

EL BROMANCE posted:ITV do the commercials between anthem and KO too. Gotta get the ads in, surprised they don't sneak them in when the clock stops too. We had to watch the adverts in the stadium as well. I'll do a full post about how bizarre the match day experience is,when I get back.

kustomkarkommando posted:Uh, good luck Wales? Three of our 5 props went off with suspected injury, and if Jarvis it actually injured, Wales need to call up a hooker. At what point do we call Adam Jones? Corey Allen is definately, absolutely out for the rest of the tournament, and it looks like we also need to cover Liam Williams at full-back. At what point do we call for.. The man?

Fortunately I can watch it on replay that evening, but it means avoiding spoilers all day. Spoilers : Vaders Jester will be sporting some sort of terrible anime avatar by the time you get home.

As a neutral, that's probably my All Blacks dream team. I genuinely want to see all 15 of them play rugby.

I'm going to contain my excitement until Fallingdown Joe gets back from his gig, so he doesn't feel like he's the only man in Wales to find out about this at 2 in the morning. Can I stress enough that Wales beat England with a back three of Rhys Priestland, Alex Cuthbert and Justin Tipuric?

Ratios and Tendency posted:Rugby doesn't work as a game and is practically unrefereeable without resorting to NFL style video feedback and stoppages. There's really no noticeable difference in the outcome of decisions between the big international games, and the lovely Pro 12 games being played in-front of 300 people with no TMOs or video screens. I think the technology being there just makes people feel obliged to use it, and referees at the World Cup are trying really hard to prove they're doing everything by the book, so that they can impress the selection commitee who decide on referees for the knockout stages of the tournament. When there isn't a TMO on-hand for the game, the vast, vast majority of decisions in professional matches are proven to be correct when they're replayed on TV, and removing "TMO Time" from the game doesn't make the match noticeably quicker, because there are still a gently caress-ton of stoppages for scrums restarting, and people falling over with cramp during winter matches.

fallingdownjoe posted:Jamie Roberts? He's the biggest and most terrifying fully-qualified medical doctor you'll ever meet. My doctor is the greatest Welsh captain of all time, and I never realised they were the same person, until 70 minutes through watching a documentary about his life. He looks exactly the loving same now, as when he played rugby.  I have a prescription for really strong painkiller that's he's written for me, and I'm torn between exchanging it for vital medicine, or keeping his autograph, and living my life in constant pain! :wales:

EL BROMANCE posted:I'm finishing work in an hour or so, then will probably hit the City Arms for a pint, going to the fanzone to see what it's like (my friends seemed to enjoy it) then make sure we're in the stadium nice and early so we see any pre-kick stuff. Pint after the match? Were parked in roath, so were hoping to head out in that direction to avoid crowds.
