>>156606067This has been true for the last 20-25 years
GONE GOTTEM lol shit defending in the end
might go get a crate after this gamewhat beer thoughwhat fucking beer
>HE MISSED KWAB Ireland lose the story
>>156606104how about 2022?
>>156606011phwoar loves a choccy Nippy'snostalgia in a box
mfw australians name stadiums after american fast food chains
>>156606119Where do you live?Should get a local brew
Kek and lel at that kick
lets gone nips
>>156606143Even worse they’ve named a stadium after capeslop franchise.
>>156606140Fucked based, didn't know it was sold over there
Its mad how in all disciplines of sports commentators can pronounce the last names of Japanese players but can never get the Pacific Islanders correct despite it being easier
>>156606129I have virtually no memory of the COVID era, it's like static
>>156606168yea that really is fucked
haven't had a nippy's in years. might grab one tomorrow and die from the sugar.
>it's easy to say Mark Nawaqanitawase
>>156606189decidedly after covid hence why Ireland were allowed to travel there
>>156606218NRL commentators get it right every time
At this stage of his career I’ve no patience for Kelleher not being able to throw.
>>156606185Japanese names are incredibly easy to pronounce what are you on about?Some of the Poly names are absolute nightmares, especially the Samoan ones with apostrophies all over the place and a g that is pronounced as an ng soundThey both pronounce vowels the same though so there shouldn't be any confusion there
>>156606189Years since covid are just a blur for me, crazy to think it’s 2026 and the cough was basically over over 4 years ago.
* = 5 years ago
>>156606196For me, it's a chocolate nippy's and a dim sim
>>156606219assumed you were an Aussie x
Yeah we're gonna lose to the Japanese with this performance. Lads who went to the same schools Teikyo, Waseda and Meiji Universities
crazy, >our first lockdown was in March 2020these 6 years since have absolutely flown by
>harry hockings holy shit throwback alert i remember him with the refs >>156606264ill allow this trangression as youve been here sporadically for years so you pass cazzie status
>>156606318that's all in the other end of the decade now.if another covid-like event happened now, would our politicians even want to go through all that again?
highly advise big Andy to put Frawley in the bin
Nipponbros are gonna be gassed by 60 methinks
Japanese shoulders are made of porcelain and washi tape
>>156606339no way, it would be political suicide for any partyI don't think there can be any similar government overreach like that for at least another generation, the negative publicity would be overwhelming
Eddy may need to inject Michael Leitch earlier than planned if Japan loses another possession at the ruck
>>156606259based dimmy enjoyer
>>156606339they'll never get away that again for at least 3 generations the next pandemic will have to be what the spanish flu was to covid
The real question is why are the direish so easily mindbroken by the smallest bit of banter? People like razzie and eddie jones unironically cause random irish people to lose sleep at night when they say random offhanded comments they forget about 5 minutes laterAnd if you ever banter with them irl at all they just become subtly nasty and irate rather than giving anything back
genuinely how the fuck did they manage to lock down an entire planet for what was a spicy flu at best, which cleared out those who were gonna die if a stiff breeze had hit them.
>>156606427>And if you ever banter with them irl at all they just become subtly nasty and iratekek so truethe quarter final build up and aftermath was a prime example of this
>>156606427>And if you ever banter with them irl at all they just become subtly nasty and irate rather than giving anything backthey're a truly nasty species. at least they're on an even keel though - they've got a chip on both shoulders.
>>156606423>spanish flualso a massive state overreach here for that at the time, but only for censorship which was in place because of WW1 anyway. people thought it was "spanish" because they had zero other information on the where's or what's. nobody's ill chud.
>>156606432boomers own the world and were most at risk of it its that simple
we have an unspoken company policy of not hiring them, it's just not worth it.
>>156606427they're ok in my experience, can say anything to the ones i know and get equal patter back. maybe get to know one. you might even might someone you quite like, a soulmate perhaps. to have and to hold.
>>156606512Nice post however you made a grammatical error "you might even might" lmao so shan't be reading any of that hahaha what a fool
used to hook up with an Irish stunner back in the day and she had pretty good banter but would get proper menstrual about Englander-related bantz which I always found hilarious kek
>>156606540meant *smite
Whole thing was just so badly managed, I think it just shows how bad modern politicians and government is. Like there's no reason Britain or Australia should've had a lockdown, they could have brought in steps much earlier like shutting the borders, introducing quarantine systems and testing at least two months earlier than they locked down in the UK but didn't. Scared of doing anything because muh money and muh public reaction and the initial reaction is to ignore and then they wonder why things get worse and the consequences are worse when they do do something.
>>156606512What do you even say you spastic>hehe remember le troubles xdd
>>156606556i send famine jokes.like a picture of rodney dangerfield but with a potato sticker over his head and "i just flew in from galway and boy am i ready to be exported".
>>156606544was smashing one winter last year before she kept traveling, the women are fine it's the men who can't handle the jandle.
>>156606451thanks for your nothing reply retard
>>156606432Aging population mate. Covid killed off a lot of old people (60+), but young people tanked it. And of course politicians (old people themselves) didn't prioritise the young people.
if based Nippon can stay within 7 they might be in with a shout here
>>156606579kek great bantz
>>156606579>fwd: fwd: fwd: fwd: fwd: fwd: 10 funny irish jokes!
Lesser known fact but sweden had a full test run of the lockdowns and vaxxes with the swine flu a couple years before, it was a 1 for 1 localized version of covid, instead of myocarditis the main side effect was narcolespy, like school kids and people in their 20s started getting it, this is why sweden didn't really take part in the covid lockdowns, they already used that card in the public here.None of this was reactive or "poorly" handled like you're discussing
>>156606609Dare I say it: Japan might win the game if they score more than the Irish
>lock down the world to protect boomers >all it does is make them richer at the expense of nearly everyone elsethey really epic styled on us
>>156606589>the women are fine it's the men who can't handle the jandleyea you might be right there, the only ones I've ever had anything to do with through work etc seemed to have a chip on their shoulders some of their lasses are very, very lovely too
>>156606645source?
the vast majority of Irish are like 5'7 and tubby, you can literally banter them for free and there is zero pushback. It's like they've been bred for meekness or docility
going bed, so you in the england norway thread
ive got a chip on my shoulder (chicken salt)
we fucking suck...
>>156606698night lad x
>>156606589There was one of them working at the pub in my home town when I visited lastyear and my first day there I made a joke line about the WC or something, and then every time I went back for weeks she would hound me with bullshit about every mistake the all blacks ever made and not in a funny way at all, even took a date there and at one point she stood at my table saying something about how shit sam cane has been playing and wouldn't leave until I agreed.
>>156606734clearly a very easy-going people kek
endless adverts for Chinese and Korean electric pickup trucks on kiwi TV. Surely nobody buys these
send this to the mrs and her dutch dad whenever i come across it
>>156606734did you try hitting her?
>>156606787I make my dutch friend speak her mother tongue whenever I can because it truly is ridiculous to hear, always has me laughing with tears in my eyes
It's frustrating to see Japan catching high balls better than the Wallabies and ABs
>>156606836made her read out this right now and pissed myself
fuck me the stan sport commentators are fucking boring
The dutch would be a great rugby nation genetically, completely wasting themselves on soccer
>>156606895lineout kings for sure
everyone is wasting themselves on fucking soccer
>>156606926Nah it's perfect for third world protein deficient "people"
stadium atmosphere absolutely dead
absolute moral victory for the nips so far. they're losing rather than direland winning.
newcastle is a rugby league town
>>156606895cricket saw them first
>>156606875their ball handling in general has been way better than whatever the ABs were displaying tonight
>83 year old AkiFor what purpose?
>>156607021to get you to another 1/4 final and then lose
>>156607006Handling balls in wellington is always a shitshow, they need to stop playing there>>156607004Yeah theyre doing pretty good there which is cool, hoping they fall into the pathway of not being able to play cricket in winter and transitioning to rugby
>>156606895I mean, South Africa already exist>>156606836Had a south African friend in high school and hearing him speak Afrikaans to his dad was a magical experience
>michale leitch
>>156606937Knew when you mentioned genetics you were going to be a weirdo
>>156607103>voluntarily moved to sw*den shouldve told you that already
If you don't believe in genetics you simply havn't experienced the world, that's not on me
>>156606143>>156606168Based
>>156606895For me it's >They play field hockey >They skate>Fucking crazy about itBut not ice hockey
>>Japan actually putting on a more dogged fight against the higher ranked Irish than the Wallabies did against the France in 2nd half. Just fuck our shit up
>>156607195Does being huge help in ice hockey? I wouldve assumed being built like a hooker would he the prime hockey build
we looking fucking shit
>>156607048>they need to stop playing thereI genuinely wish they wouldI don't know what it is, but they have been dogshit there for about a decade nowsmall blessing it was against Italy and not a more capable side
got ourselves a finish here lads
Dermot Murnaghan has died
>>156607221They're not basketball height but anything over 6' is fine.
>>156607245Definitely a planned thing, would'nt waste eden park on italy and wouldn't risk a france loss therePersonally can't wait for the statisically overdue wellington fault line 7+ quake to put wellington out of comission for a few years, rebuild the place.
>>156607221i think defenders ("defencemen") in ice hockey are tall
mad how the only thing I know about Irish history is the famine and the troublesdid absolutely nothing happen there for most of the last 2000 years
So is this the Irish B team? Because if they allow the ABs this many opportunities in their own territories next week, they'll happily run at them all day
the paddys look a bit shook to be honest
>>156607349theres enough starters for this to be above a B team
>>156607349B/C tbf
Ireland playing like its a world cup quarter final
What's he thinking right now
>>156607314they're playing the Dirish at the Fortress next week which concerns me somewhatunless they play like this in which case things should be fine
>>156607378
>>156607373nah it's embarrassing and I'm not diminishing thatbut 3 debuts on the bench and 1 A team starter in the backs and 2 in the forwards where it's mostly a bunch of 3rd choice lads does not make a B team
>>156607378that can't be right, they're leading.
>no place like home >both teams are away
>>156605974Fiji vs England — 10:10 (Argentina) | 01:10 Sunday (New Zealand) | 15:10 (CEST)South Africa vs Scotland — 12:40 (Argentina) | 03:40 Sunday (New Zealand) | 17:40 (CEST)Argentina vs Wales — 16:10 (Argentina) | 07:10 Sunday (New Zealand) | 21:10 (CEST)

doak winding up short passes like a goober
direland looks so much better when they aren't fielding that astroturfed twink at 10
phwoar nice turnover that
unrelated but fuck I had a laugh
well you did /rug/ proud Japbros gg
nz would be up by 40+ here (against either team)
story victory for the nippy's iced choccy's. shamefu dispray from the potato dodgers
gomenasai
so union sucks at calling forward passes too huh
>>156607641yeah despite this sport near constantly stopping, having new rules the referee is only aware of, and ofc TMO.
thisthat try doesn't reflect how close /ourguys/ were the whole matchDirish should be better next week but this'll out the shits up them a bit I reckon
Back to back bonus point wins, /rug/ seething, too easy
>>156607691i always support my fellow inhabitants of the british isles tho
>>156607641some meme about backwards out of the hands to encourage flatter passes and faster play to sell the product betterfucking infuriates menothing as bad as the neutral injection rule for scrums that I haven't seen enforced in a decade
classic gutless West British post thatshameful bullying really
>>156607726yea you know a ref is rigging it one way or the other when they pull that dogshit ruling out
>>156607641>>156607726Union and league have had very similar officiating problems for ages.
my countries suck at rugby still
well I'm off to bedI'll back England for this test, but I think I have to throw my support behind Norway for the football latergn lads x
honestly think the six games all on one day is a bit much. I'll be watching Newmarket in a minute anyway.
i see we are still pretending to dignify the "culture" of headhunting cannibal lads
gwan fiji
>>156608396I like the singing, definitely a vibe
>>156606185Jap names are literally Dingdong Harakiri, Pingpong Sudoku, PongHo Hikikomori, Pingpang Kamikaze, Chingchong Miller,
Upon Englands 1st try I will crack open a cold one
>>156608481still much too early for me, i don't want to be staving off early-onset hangovers before 10pm
>>156608469Howling at this point lad, hilarious. Must've taken a bit of time to think this one out.
I wish fiji did the hymn they do in league over the haka https://youtu.be/nOiv1Xz0AFY?si=cohRH7ziGOxDVmpU
>>156608499Yeah that's really nice

Hydrate!
>31 degreesComfy dare I say

>>156609505Put some respect - argie was carrying /rug/ for a couple threads
>>156609505if only you could hide ireland's rwc record
>>156609462I'm going to bed. Please beat the Welsh

The Welsh and Argentina are friends
>>156609712kek they're all delulu

>>156609725Good flag>>156609846Kino
>>156609744probably an overreaction to beating the all blacks without realising how shit they ABs are now
think fiji will need to score a few tries to get back in this game
Imagine getting battered by this England team.
Will Fiji go 0-6?
>>156610228Most likely

dat saffa anthem hits hard
South African anthem is way too fucking long
Lmao their kit is so gay. “Anthem” is shit as well
The Fagerson brothers
>>156611209But enough about the Boks
>>156611261The Fags playing in pink
dubious call
Scotland are missing 2 or 3 forwards to be a top side imio (in my illustrious opinion)
Lmao that we like watching an u15s v the 1st XV
pls south africa
that breakthrough by Wiese was kino
Saffers won’t be this rough next week will they?
ahh fuck sake
Apologize to the nations championship its based
scotland are BACK
based
I was scrolling through the catalog looking for another thread when i saw this and was reminded this dead on arrival comp was actually on, my god, world rugby have truly destroyed union.
>>156612051that expression is supremely relatable i think of it often
Da fook?? They locked in
based scotbros
well well well
Shit africa vs shitland in shitby
Headbutting like a bull
The real question remains, how will scotland embarrassingly throw it all away?
Did you see that miotti chose to play for italy instead of argentina? What a fucking retard fuck him
>cute white girls>show some black girls
saffas singing the irish anthem
>>156612676Probably gets paid way more even if italy are a joke compared to the pumas
>>156612676Got contaminated with Montpellier dumbfuckery. Sorry for your lose. At least, you'll get the Ledesma and Reggiardo kids soon. They're good for what they show during the u20s WC.
>>156612701Too much ass?

there's literally zero chance Scotland don't chokeit's in their DNA
Instead of the usual beers to watch the rugby I went with a bottle of red Alain Jaume - Côtes du rhône 2023is this what you french rugby fans do?
>>156613067yeah, we drink beer as well
6 beers in, reckon that's still good enough to drive ya?Just in the sweet spot like
>>156612754>Got contaminated with Montpellier dumbfuckeryYeah, its doesnt bother me tho >>156612746Dont think so i thinks its a being in the six nations thing
>>156613136How much do you weight? If you're not victim weight you'll be fine
>drinking alcohol lads...it's 2026
Alcohol is a fundamental white activity to destress the subconcious, other races never understand it and don't have the kind of fortitude to withstand medicinal alcohol use but the modern world was built by it
Why are there so many ads in the middle of the field?
>>156613296just say you're fat, it's fine
Scotland can really play such exciting rugby Shame they can't do it for 80 minutes
>>156605974Why doesn’t this board care about Rugby?
>>156613440The fact that you got offended by what I said says it all, go smoke your hookah pipes or whatever you people do but drinking won't be shamed out of the white man by you
the game that saved /rug/ :;)
>>156613447non-euros
>the absolute township of saffa ruggers
>>156613447It's 99% soccer, all other sports are appreciated pretty equally outside of thirdworldball
Scotland No
Quintessential scottish moment, give the people hope then know it foward during a certain try
>>156613447tbg i quite like that we have a general that only comes up when needed and the people in it are still familiar enough, instead of it becoming a daily poomunity only kept alive by non-entities
>>156613296Weed mogs>>156613447/rug/ doesnt care about club rugby to sustain a permanent general, but the other general usually survive by having 2 or 3 schizos spammers
russell spastic
rassie means stale in french
>>156613585Atleast it's not /heem/ where it seems active but it's just a hangout for muslim fundamentalists, or /tennis/ where it's just 3 posters talking about teen female players
DROPPED THE NATIONS CHAMPIONSHIP
was gonna ask what does Kriel do but then he goes on to score
the krieling blow
what a game good effort scotlandgg
So just how shit is england if scotland can put up 28
>south africas best player was named after a game of thrones characterHoly cringe
So they can kick the ball forwards. Then why don't they just spam that?
>>156613827It happens constanly
>>156613827you need the ball to score tries
>>156613929This is the second rugby match that I watch and only saw this happening now
>>156613946I get it but in the worst case if an opponent catches the ball it would still move the whole game closer to the opponent's touchline, so it sounds like a good strategy
Time for the main event
Bretty good game. Fassi's kicking was absolutely shocking. Held onto the ball trying to play to the cameras and got manhandled like a bitch. Lucky Kriel decided to wake up.
>>156614087I watch to support sophie dee
>>156614045Watch more this is exactly the tacticYou just watching an era where the passing is dominating
>>156614045Yes absolutely. Then maybe you can even win a penalty or compete to catch the ball after you kick it (if you go high and short). It's very much a territory based game.
this is a proper test for wales, are they on their way back or still proper shit we will seecan see a typical plucky performance, down by 20 only to come back and lose by a try
>>156614782We can win but i am still weirded out by last week performance but seeing scotland do well against south africa makes me think we should win easily
>>156614782>or still proper shit

Of course there’s some apes with horns in the crowd. Non-whites can’t help themselves but to make as much noise and disruption as possible.
>>156616506Its a rugby game not a funeral bitch Our local rugby has chants and songs for the 80 minutes like southamerican football does

Yeah, fuck this, I’m sticking the footy on, more of a footy nation anyway tbqhwyf.
