some revisionist thinking going on in the England camp the reality of this world cup Argentina win. mauling and scrumming. the other really poor semi finalist off the park. they were poor all wold cup imo. Japan win. poor game and poor team. Chile. non contest Samoa win, poor game, a non contest turned into a 1 point win. Fiji.win another game England should win all day every day in a qf. another average showing. South Africa. the big brave game which was determined by a ref giving imaginary penalties to both sides as they refused to do anything but kick and chase. that's the absolute maximum possible for that England side who started from nowhere last December. but kick and chase is not rugby imo. if it had been a dry day what would have happened? if it had been another ref would England have been given the lead pens. some of those were complete fantasy.
Anyone watch the so called rugby game last night. Another hard watch. The argue kickers blew the game by allowing themselves be blocked down on an easy clearance or by rushing an equalising kick. England were not playing, they were kicking possession to the argies. The draw for this world Cup set up this debacle of a semi final and 3rd place play off. Since the groups we've had 2 games that could have been the final in nz v ireland and france v sa. Not good. Now we get to witness sa anti running game rugby where they will try a scum, kick, scrum, kick game again.
I think he just edged it . But 96-93 is a joke scorecard, especially considering Ngannou had a 10-8 round with knockdown. The boxing commission were never going to go against the boxer in a boxing match, it would make their sport look even more of a joke than it is
fury thought to breeze this then fight for unification. Well he's now proved he's not in shape and such
Ferrari celebrating a front row lockout (rightly) but Max in the best starting on position in Mexico; third!
they produced two good laps then couldn't repeat it if the first lap doesn't take out verstappen he will coast this. ferrari to go backwards all day
England pulled it back well against India. Brilliant knock by ollie pope to give England a chance. Need to not let them build partnerships though. India should still win from here but nice to see the fight.
Brilliant come back from England to win that after the first innings scores. Brilliant for Hartley and the faith shown in him by Stokes
Rugby was on today. I turned off Scots cos it was a terrible game to watch ours. England v Wales was absolutely awful then. really really really tough grinding watch.
