That was amazing. They're going to be looking at Samoa, Scotland and the USA and picturing a quarter final place. Brony Hunter posted:The balls on their captain. THE BALLS This. Turning down the option to kick took guts.

tarbrush posted:I mean, I understand that they need to review things, but really, make a decision and stick to it. Yeah, if you've gone to the effort to stop and review something, you may as well check the grounding to make sure. These reviews based on the ref seeing the replay on the big screen are a farce.

Heid the Ball posted:Welsh backs shovelling absolute shite all day. They keep that up and better sides will murder them. Priestland comes back into the side, and the backline turn to poo poo. Coincidence? They did the minimum and got the full 5 points, but didn't look impressive at all.

Vagabundo posted:They conceded 140-odd points when they were more-or-less a full amateur side 12 years ago. These days, a fair chunk of the team is playing professionally, even if it might be in the lower end of the South African domestic competition. There are also players in the upper end of things like Burger, who have not only not looked the least bit out of place in the Saracens, but has commanded a virtually permanent starting spot. To be honest, I was expecting this to be a 100+ massacre, largely down to 2 reasons 1) Wales being able to 80 points past them last time around, and 2) Namibia being coached by Phil Davies.

The only thing worse than the Canadian 10's hair is his goal-kicking Edit: Actually, maybe it doesn't look that bad, just from one angle looked like some side-parting with a ridiculously long fringe at the front. The kicking is still terrible though. stavros880 fucked around with this message at 15:15 on Sep 26, 2015 |

And scrum half Lloyd Williams, following up his cameo as a centre last weekend, covering as a winger and giving the assist for the winning try. Who needs a fully fit squad playing in position when you have High Priest Gatland and his human sacrifices?

The Clit Avoider posted:Roman Poite is one of the worst loving scrum refs on the planet (anyone who just goes with the "they look dominant" technique falls in here). Guess what, Garces is too. This. Look at the 2nd and 3rd scrums in the Wales-England game. Marler just turns and drives straight across. "Why, when your hooker is trying to hook the ball, would your loose-head drive him away from it?" Because you get a penalty and a shot at 3 points. It's not loving rocket science.

el dingo posted:Bonus points confuse me - do they kick in if two teams have an equal number of wins/losses or can they still somehow make a team qualify even if they've lost more games? E.g. win two games with try bonus points, lose two games with try+losing bonus points gives you a total of 14. Another team in your group can win 3 without bonus points and only have 12 points, so you qualify ahead of them.

Plucky Brit posted:The entire coaching staff is gone after this; they completely lost the plot in squad selection, team selection and tactics. Picking Burgess in the squad over Burrell, keeping Barritt in despite him being terribly limited, avoiding Slade, the list goes on. This is what I don't understand. England have finally found a dangerous back three, but seem to insist on picking centres that refuse to (or simply can't) give them the ball.
