>>156881538What kind of rugby is this
>>156881572XVThis the XIII thread >>156881222
>>156881538Argentina shall defeat England in rugby this weekend just like how they did in football 2 days ago. Screencap this
it's over for the all blackeds.......
>>156881996Anulo hdp
>>156881996Derrota digna here we come
when did rugby lose it's aura?like, i know we're playing tonight. a pretty big game. i'll probably watch. but i'm not making it the entire point of my day. and if something comes up and i miss the game, i won't really care
>>156882540I think thats only true on new zealand and i dont know the reason
>>156882667Not sure if it's because we got worse or if other teams got better (probably a combo of both)But over the last 10-15 years we've gone from being easily the best in the world, to being just.. pretty good.Rugby had been NZs entire identity for decades, so now that we aren't the best at it a lot of people have lost interest
>>1568825401995
looking forward to this one
>>156883399First world rugby problem. Spare a thought for the Wallabies
>>156883512>muh amateur>>156883399It wasnt your identity if when you have a bad streak people stop watching, maybe someday the all blacks come back to form
>>156881572globalist rugby, basically failed rugby that no is watching anymore.
>>156882540covid
WAHS on the big screen, all blacks on the laptop, simple as
>>156882540Nations Championship is utterly soulless.
>>156884655You never gave an argument
>>156884135I dunno some of the clips of random tries or tackles from back in the early/mid 2000s had millions of views. 6N used to be huge in England but now it seems it is an afterthought. Rugby needs a strong England really. Their selection of coaches has been absolutely terrible for years. Borthwick lolRefuses to give Ojomoh any caps and allowed both Willis brothers to fuck off. RFU are a pack of donkeys it looks like wilful mismanagement at this stage. Managed decline.
>>156882540the price of sky and its exclusivity made it inaccessible to poor householdsbasically executed all growing interest in the game in lower class householdsalso nobody in richer households wants their kids to play full contact and become a lemon at 30 from severe CTEs
>>156885312all the zoomers down here play golf in winter and criccy in summer
>>156884727I'm answering his question. It's not that rugby lost its aura, it's that it's bloody hard to give a shit about the Nations Championship.
>>156885654Yes and you being saying this since nations championship started why dont you like it? Just cause its new?
>>156885312>severe CTEsCurrent rugby dont give you that much cte atleast not boxing/nfl levels
not sure i'm going to be full kinetic for this game
>>156886054crisp broken newtons cradle
I been watching the nations cup and holy shit the tier 2 nations just been having banger games all really close I reccomend it to watch the highlights
>>156882540There's just no star players anymore. I couldn't tell who you this generations Lomu/Umaga/Carter/McCaw are meant to be.Hell even mid players back then like Jerry Collins or Ali Williams or Maa Nonu were memorable, I don't care how many records they break I will never give a shit about Ardie Savea or any of the Barretts
>>156882540The nations cup is just glorified friendlies really. The bledisloe cup being such a one horse race has done a lot of damage to rugby in this part of the world.
>>156886162>>Collins>>Nonu>>MidMate I ought to bash your head with a handbag
rugby was better when Australia was competitive I truly believe thisNZ and SA dominating is boring for most cazzies
>>156886162Will Jordan
didn't know the nation championship was a thing til earlier this week lolthought we were just in the middle of international friendlies seasonguess that makes things a bit more interesting
>>156886246Jerry was pretty mid mate, just a brute enforcer reallyMa'a was good but it was his paring with based Snakey that made him a great player
>>156886273remember that time he whipped his cock out thoughbased
>>156886283based sideline pisser
anyone tried the new whittakers block
>Kaino>McCaw>Readwe really were spoiled with these lads
>>156886273Jerry set the bench mark for a brute enforcer - someone on the team who's mongrel enough to intimidate even the boks.Conrad certainly elevated Nonu, but the latter's raw crashball penetration and post-contact metres is sorely missing since his departure.
>>156886372Don't forget, the ABs had 3 of the top 5 test scrumhalves all in the same era. >>Smith>>TJP>>TKB
>noooo we don't have McCaw and Carter anymore how can I be expected to watch rugby anymoreeeeInsanely spoiled tbqh, you should be forced to be shit for a decade as a cleansing ritual.
>>156886396you now remember Ngani Laumape
>>156886363I am a bitter old man who only ever buys the same flavour (berry forest)
>>156886406Aaron clears the other two in my opinion, but they were for sure fantsticSmith is arguably the best halfback >we've had
>>156886425I do, and I still can't help feel Hansen should've taken him to the RWC2019
>>156886406>kerr-barlowwut
>>156886424odd postthe point is we haven't had anyone come even close to their calibre in the decade or so since they moved onNew Zealand likes a successful rugby team, I don't know why that's upsetting, or surprising to you
piri weepu > kerr-barlow
>>156886254Yep, 24 years since we has won the Bledisloe. Utter joke.
quite literally the best rugby team ever
>>156886473take me back brosthe talent on that list is mind-bogglingI'd take a prime Tony Woodcock over Joe Moody, but it's otherwise *chef's kiss*
>you now remember waisake naholo
Maybe the game is too professional now to really be interesting, whenever you see a sovlfvl player it's always from a country that doesn't really care about union like australia or france.Everyone in NZ rugby is PR trained and boring and feels like they came off an assembly line, you never get those classic "doug howlett has shacked up with a hamilton porn star" or "zac guildford stripped naked in rarotonga and beat up a bunch of tourists" stories anymore
>>156886521>aaron smith shagging someone in a toilet and asking for an after david
>>156886521France dont care about union? Kek
>>156886536do they lol?outside of Toulouse and some other southern areas, they're pretty indifferent overall I would've thought
Will Jordan score?
>>156886473Not bad, however:>>Christian Cullen>>Jeff Wilson>>Frank Bunce>>Walter Little>>Jonah Lomu>>Andrew Mehrtens>>Justin Marshall>>Zinzan Brooke>>Josh Kronfeld>>Michael Jones>>Robin Brooke>>Ian Jones>>Olo Brown>>Sean Fitzpatrick (c)>>Craig Dowd
>>156886586Cully v Bender and Jones v Kaino is an interesting discussion
>>156886553England v France six nations match peaked at 9.5 million viewers, it's pretty big.
>>156886162Will Jordan and Roigard are two great backs you have, winger and 9 respectively. All the bog stars are wearing Bok colours thesedays. Marx, PSDT, Ox Nche, Wilco Louw and Thomas Du Toit would all displace the WC winning ABs Mealamu, Jerome Kaino, Woodcock and the Franks Bros in a composite side. How long until the Ireland-All Blacks match starts cunts?
>>156886473Malcolm Marx, PSDT and all current Props would replace the NZ shitters in their positions
>>156886637Cheers
>these current players would displace those guys that haven't played in a decade
>>156883553>tfw you see somebody do the haka
>>156886658I gave you the wrong time mate, kick of is in about 45 mins.
For me, it's 2002-2005 era NZ.Spencer, Rokocokokocookooo, Howlett, Marshall, Collins, Ali Williams etc. all soul players.
Win streak going tonight. Heard it here first.
>>156886697that was when rugby peaked for me. Australia was good, England was good, South Africa was good, NZ was good. Every team had star players whether that was poofy kickers like Wilkinson or coked up giga abos like Sailor
>>156886744*unbeaten streakbut I have the same feeling to be honest mateah well, it was a nice 30+ years while it lasted
>>156886697They failed at the WC but they were absolutely insane to watch. Spencer and Joe Rockacoco together was insane. I'd say the 2005 team that killed the Lions was probably the team in history that had the most separation between 1st and the rest. They came up North every year and destroyed us all without breaking a sweat.
>>156886744>>156886771Lads we are starting Pretendtograsp at 10. You already won.>>156886688Cheers lad
Might grab a beer and watch the rugby
Is it a general thing in international rugby or is it just for NZ that they can field foreigners if they've been in the country for 5+ years?
>>156886553>some other southern areasIle-de-France and Vannes would have a word or two with you.In fact, it have grown more popular than ever to the point that fucking TF1 broadcast more international rugby game than any other french TV channel. It's still not making >sawker numbers, but the fact that TF1 decides to broadcast more rugby games over football to me was unthinkable before 2019. Dupont effect or not, he's been a major contributor.But I'm not going to lie but we've lost some major older powerhouse that not vegetate in Pro D2 and in lower division like the basque clubs, Dax has been irrelevant since the late 90's, Mont-de-Marson has been relegated to Nationale over Nice (which was another old french rugby bastion but not in the same level as Béziers or Toulon), Béziers and Narbonne are irrelevant as fuck and Colomiers tried their best. Now as true historical teams remaining in Top 14 this season, Toulouse is still going strong (minus their early European Cup elimination against Bordeaux) while the likes of Toulon, La Rochelle, Stade Français, Castres and Clermont all had a really rocky season, Bordeaux made their choice of choosing the European Cup and that didn't paid off in Top 14. We've had major turnovers in playoffs presence compared to the season before (Montpellier, Pau and RM92 among them) and only Toulouse seemed to be the most regular and that went not without any polemics with salary cap and the such.
i have to mute any time they do this "talk to the crowd" thing at any nz sporting eventthe cringe is unbearableis this something everyone feels about their own countrymen? or is just a kiwi thing?
>>156887020its weird, you don't really see it in aus
>>156887020our country is just inherently cringe ladhigh time you accepted this
massive earthquake just before half time which swallows up eden park. heard it here first.

>>156887140neat
>>An actual good delivery of the national anthem with pianoWhat the fuck was wrong with Wellington? Why couldn't you just do what Auckland's doing?
The haka gets more cringe each time its used.
WAAGHHHHH BLEEHHHHH WAKA WAKA ONGO BONGO PLEURURGHHHHHHH GUGU WAGA WAGA BLLLAARGHHHHH
my spine: tingled
omg guys pls no im so scared now :(((- said no one ever
>>156887253NZRU actually have a more stringent eligibility for their players. Players born in NZ can't spent most of their time playing overseas for foreign clubs if they want to be an AB.
Das rightStand there and watch me dance, cuck
i enjoy the hucka
australia should do a haka
get the feeling we're losing this game

>>156887330your mens netball team did some kind of dance, there's a video of it somewhere
>>156887374don't worry about posting it, lets just watch the game
stupid fuckin haircut on prendergast
Line up the runners either side of Prendergast because there is almost zero chance he takes it into contact. Instant turnover if he does
>>156887383i'll have a look for it at halftime
>>156887403nah don't bother, its not that good anyway
Match isn’t fair. NZ has two islands. Ireland only has one. Cheaters.
>>156887414and what is this island called?
>>156887333nah we'll fall off after about 20 minutes, the squads just not that good rn
FUCK that was a quick penalty call
dmacky my dear
>>156887414only have themselves to blame for not conquering the one to their east
>>156887414But the irish have potato power.
pinekenzie doing things the worlds never seen before
What does he do?

Dmac needs to play a sport where you are fast but don't have to think.

Pinekinography is the most electrifying man in world rugby

seriously though ka mate is the only haka they should be doing, really jumped the shark when they started making up new ones

This try was built on the foundation pinekenzie has built
PADDY
Prendergast status?

jesus christ these turnovers
TUIPOLOPOLOPOLOTU!
just a bit of boof mate haha
are irish players always like this? (whiny little crybaby bitches)
>>156887550God no. I was exposed to the ARC on ESPN3 nearly a decade ago. Spain dies today.
Little bit of mongrel in the ABs was missing under razor.
mouthy lil cunt aint he?
>>156887589>shiiii we dindu nuffin
>>156887571Didn’t know if you were talking about lemuria. Would’ve been based.
>>156887541the Ka Mate is what it is thanks to Buck as well. They need a hard player like him again to clean things up the attitudes
crazy handles from the groot
british isles not in the game yet
wish they would swing real punches
Ireland's finest Bundee Aki

>>156887594nice mate
ABs have resorted to mind controlling our own players to knee each other in the head at the breakdown. Disgraceful.
>Bundí Ó Achí
>>156887633>muh genuine attemptlooked anything but
Warriors game just started lads
>>156887633Should be a penalty try and a red card. Incredibly malicious
*instantly switches over to the wahs*
>>156887660we're playing the bottom of the table dragons, so that means the result is already guaranteed (we lose). so i'll keep watching the rugger
when does ruben love get carded?
>>156887660Why bother. They'll never win a championship.
why did the game stop?
>>156887685before halftime
>>156887696what about a premiership?
OH NOOOOOOOOOOO
Brutal Prendergast mog there
why are the irish players trying to fight us all the time? it's just a game
rigged
Ireland more of a cricket nation anyway
>>156887660Will be more competitive than this. Ireland are shit
He didn't get that down

this will be the game that validates pinekenzie's time in the ABs
so poor from ireland!terrible!
oh here we go.... refball begins
savage, send him hoff
Why is there always some British wanker in the TMO booth tattling on us at crucial moments?
Based retard
woah, that was a white guy who had that #certifiedcoconut moment
>>156887796True. Just 10 years ago they wouldn't have even looked at it.
So.. we were about to have a great chance at being 21-0 up, with ireland on a warning to have someone cardedInstead.. we're now a man down, it stays 14-0 and ireland will probably score 2 or 3 times before we get that man back
Why the fu->Waikato playerOh, that's normal, carry on then.
Comeback starts now, Irish

>>typing a post about 14-7 as the most dangerous lead>>hear something>>Jordan scores another tryWhat the fuck?
>>156882540You've got Australia and Wales actively trying to destroy their national teams, club competitions are a dogs dinner and the whole thing has become big brother ball. To give an answer, probably when the idea of the TMO was conceived
the fuck was that dmac

I TOLD YOU ABOUT EDEN PARK BRO>it keeps happening!I TOLD YOU BRO I TOLD YOU
if it wasn't for that one moment of retardation from jacobson, we'd be going into halftime at worst 35-0 upwasn't ireland good at rugby only a year or two ago? what happened?
So this is the vaunted irish golden generation.
>not one iri*h flag here COWARDSSHOW YOURSELVES
hold on, the all blacks have scored 28 points in just the first half?
>>156887796Their national pastime is playing the role of big brother, what did you expect?
>>156887969Hate it when TMO overrules a try after the conversion has been taken, going back to something that happened in play 5 minutes ago.
>>156888087Ben Shitehouse HAS to make the game about him, as he failed at being a top tier referee.

>>156888004Yeh, that would be right
>>156888058Ireland were only good under Schmidt
>>156888113bit gay these fellas
>>156888058Prendergast basically.And the coaching set up is world class- shite. The only way a good Irish player (not named Prendergast) can come through is if there is an injury or catastrophic loss of form. Farrell got lucky with that crop of irish players from 2021/22 and he would be playing that exact same team if he could. He has zero imagination
Miss us yet?
>>156888058in all seriousness, team in transition, the #1 fly half is injured and the kid they're bettting the house on being the future is constantly shitting the bed
>Australia lost to these Irish shittersFfs
>>156888058Either Farrel is foxing or the Irish just didn't do their homework. >>Allowing McKenzie to make post contact metersThat's not on Eden Park magic, that's on themselves
what's the deal with Prendergast?
so I just checked and as expected, the Warriors are indeed struggling against the bottom of table Dragons
>>156888161ir*sh
>>156888161reckon the issue is he's used to sitting behind a Leinster pack that is always on the front foot giving him perfect service, and gets little to no experience of back foot high pressure rugby. also he cant tackle at all and probably has severe mental health issues from online abuse
>>156888161Slow and has no ability to run with the ball or take it into contact. Hes just bad basically and every excuse in the book is being made for him.The coaching staff suffering hard from sunk cost fallacy.
If you went to a game and there was zero entertainment in the half-time break, just singalongs over the loudspeakers, would you complain?
>>156888155It's absolutely fucking hair-pulling. If Schmidt can't make it work, I don't know how Les Kiss is going to do any different
>>156888237I'm fuming even when they play songs on the loudspeakers. If boomer NZ crowds can't manufacture their own crowd noise that's on them.
>>156888239Also the Wallabies better fucking beat the Italians. I will accept a meager 1-point victory, win something.

>>156888302My son loves that ad, should I be concerned?
Surely Farrell cant keep persisting with Prendergast now. Its just horror show performances back to back to back.
>>156888435You now remember back when the Wellington 7s used to be good
imagine if we had a good fullback
>>156888431>AUS - ITA at 12:10I guess this one overlaps ours too somehow. Whoever was in charge of the schedule deserves to be lingchi'd
>>156888452he wouldnt if Crowley wasnt injured
>>156888459You'll be sad when pinekenzie retires
>>156888466im fuming
>>156888459we do. they've just put him on the wing.
melie rooter NO!
should be a red card. not one of those bullshit 20 minute ones either

Caleb "run it straight" Clarke
open the floodies
>>156888480The thing is Jordan keep scoring tries at wing. Somehow he just does. You'd find it hard to play him elsewhere as well
Lamothe needs to play more for the NT I reckon. Dude was a beast for Bordeaux last season
team looks tired, old, bereft of talentthis is squarely on farrell for refusing to bring through talent in big games in favour of past-it hasbeens regardless of formthe only player he really tried was clearly not ready and repeatedly got exposed amplifying his shortcomings absolutely grim times ahead and I will be killing myself when it hits rock bottom
>>156888630Way too slow now. He had a pretty anonymous super rugby campaign.
>>156888656has any other player tarnished their own legacy more than o driscoll did with the way he handled this?
>>156888622If he can still stay on the field like that afterwards it's unlikely to be serious. Fortunately a break is coming before they embark on their first matches against the SA club teams
reckon players should try hipdroppin cuntsits quite effective
>we will have a look at it YAWNfuck off I CANT STAND THIS AAAAAAAAAAAH IM FUCKING TURNING THE GAME OFF IM CRASHING OUTDOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS RISING RIGHT NOW
Getting sick of this cuck chair referee, worst thing about rugby
thats a shit call
>>156888696Or lewd with the head. It works for our giganiggas.
business idea: get some refs who actually understand how to play the sport that they're officiating
>tmo desperately inserts himself again
business idea: hats for dogs
my eagles could beat the hell out of all these teamsespecially the irish
>>156888719
>>156888711good post>>156888719even better post
Man why are TMO allowed to interject so much?
>>156888719I will now buy your product
How do you even watch this in Australia? I was thinking about watching a Union match for the first time in about a decade so I tried looking it up but a broadcaster isn't easily listed anywhere I could find.
What the fuck is the point in a boxkick when you can send it to the no.10 to do a proper kick.
>>156888765>pisses on youor stan sport
not being funny but I've just seen a replay for the first time of that yellow card for the clear out, and that's a stonewall red lol whole result is tainted now
>>156888765It’s live on the world rugby YT channel for me, but the rotten sons of bitches block VPNs so it might not be available to stream for everyone.
>>156888766For a quicker kick of course, easier for your own teammate to contest and less likely to be distracted by opposition charge down
>>156888796every box kick these days takes longer because they have to form a human centipede out the back of the ruck first
>>156888796In reality it barely gains any metres and is usually comfortably caught by any good opposition.
these Japanese fellas are jacked af damn
Lomu-esque from Clarke
Yes. Good try.

Thank you based Jailbait
Whats wrong with Rennies eyes?

wahs winning
Very good France, however
>>156888940Thanks for the update king
>>156888940but for how long?
Based Antoine Le Inert Brun
>>156888888
reminder that the margin would be a good 20 points larger if not for some terrible refereeingterrific performance from us
>>156888986Don't blame the ref it's the TMO cuckchair pretend referee trying to involve himself
just have the dog a cheeky piece of ham
>>156889008just meant the officiating in general (but yes mostly aimed at the tmo)
>>156888986Ireland did not play well in the first half.
Pinekino haters on suicide watch
>>156889008TMO definitely, but Berry has been very lenient all night with the Irish slowing down the ABs ruck. They were in no realistic position to compete for the ball at all, but Berry just keep reminding them no jackaling without blowing the whistle
Japan has collapsed.
>>156882540New Zealand in general has massively lost its aura going back to john key flooding in the chinks/indians while actively polluting our waterways and while there was a delay it eventually spread to rugby, but the entire nation is a shadow of it's former self
Our scrum is having a heyday today. i expected a tighter game.
>slop
defensive bp should be for 6 or fewer points behind
>>156889103Due to the Plaza Accord, so thanks to you guys
We are so back
>>156889117>he deserves credit for getting stuck in can we stop with the fucking kid gloves for him
Damn Gunter was defending angry there
>>156889174What did we do this time?
wahs won
Fine HT, except for whatever abysmal dogshit Maefou, Gazzotti and N'Tamack did in the last 5 minutes.
unironically think Japan has what it takes to become a decent nation but their domestic league is too focused on luring South African roid monkeys and washed Kiwi stars to develop homegrown talent
Dogs vs Titans or Ausfailia vs Italy?
>>156889282BOTH
>>156888186Dont forget his shit haircut
>>156889275We need several tall locks from abroad. But aside from that, a lot of homegrown talents are developing quite nicely because there are tons of elite Kiwis and South African coaches.
>>156889282why would you watch peeague
>rugbypass tv feed showing inside the locker roomdangerous
>>156889275Their u20s looked pretty decent in the Junior World Cup despite losing all the pool games but at least they beat those Spaniard fuckheads yesterday. I'm fairly confident about their youth formation.

Why is the U20 division not more popular? Seems like it’s minor league baseball tier based on the number of people in the stands at some of the matches.
>>156889516Cheers. Meanwhile,>all these subsMan, this really can go from bad to worse for Japan now that Mauvaka is on the pitch

flabba babba wabba jabba noongar is the no.1 aboriginal cultural export from western australia
>>156889564The lack of a timer and the ability to continue bopping dingers so long as you don’t miss made it much more fun.
Is every Aussie city considered Abo/ancestral land? Or is it just certain regions?
GOAT rendition of the anthem
ITALIA
>>156889623Well pretty bullshit. I missed the lead up - was it another case of TMO asking on-field ref to review?
FOR WE ARE YOUNG AND FREE
>aus lost 9 of their last 10damn niggas I thought we were shitdon’t you guys play this sport a lot?
>>156889662yep
>>156889656its all stolen land chud
this stadium is quite kino, not too big
they still say young and free here in the outback
Both teams passionate with the anthems
I like it when they mix in the players singing the national anthem into the audio
such a hot ref is gonna be distracting
Nice one Italians, just give the ball to us
>carlo tizzano shouldnt he be wearing blue
give it to potter
>>156889689>not too bigThey're all having to switch to smaller stadiums now that unions viewership has collapsed
>>156889776It's the only rectangular stadium in the whole state.
Don’t watch union much, where is “the Tongan Thor”? Reallly want to see “the Tongan Thor” in action.
>>156889831He's not playing this week kek
Tom Wright > Pinekenzie
sono pazzi questi romani

>>156889844Damn, as a public school prole I only really watch this gay sport to see “the Tongan Thor” (just like those popular superhero movies we watch)
TSSSSSSCHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA DONGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>156889972Why is he shit? He’s huge.

by god the dago’s done it
is monty ioane related to digby ioane?
>>156890011if being a big guy is all it took to be a good prop then all world class players in that category would be Fijian, Samoan or Tongan yet most aren't
awful kick damn
>predicted a win by 28>gets a win by 27Not gonna complaining. Pretty good test games for >us.
>>156890027Both related to Gold Coast Titans legend Mark Ioane
>>You're a try-saver Harry
Lmao
poor italy :(
honestly thought italy would give us a decent go
>>156890132they should start kneeling
he's already dead
>>156890164It’s not over yet. Wallaboos can easily gas themselves.
>>156890164They are gassed. Travelled to Japan then down to Wellington then across to Perth. Unlike the cowardly Irish who made Japan play in Newcastle.
>>156889776>unions viewership has collapsedchat is this true? how can we stop it?
what sport is italy good at these days
>>156890132Argie cunts will say it in Spanish, English won't understand anything >>156890426Tennis
>>156890426cricket
>>156890442They'll just interpret anything as a slur. Remember when they did that with the Boks in the last RWC?
Surely Slipper retires after this test
>>156885689Since well before it's started.>>156887183So the Stephen Donald situation again.>>156887541This is true too. Especially other sports where they stopped doing Ka Mate altogether.>>156888095Just had an idea. TMO can only check if try or no try until the conversion is taken, then it can no longer check. This will further encourage teams to take their conversion quickly. If the team declines to take the conversion, TMO has until the game restarts.
>>156888239Feels like Eddie Jones was right about RA being a mess.>>156888682Paddy Jackson>>156889365No /afl/?
