>>158224258
no Jordie and Luke Pearce is reffing, so ez wobblies win.

Hardly anyone plays this shit game anymore except for new zealand
its a 3rd tier sport in every other country

hey siri, please let me know how many teams are at the rugby league "world cup" and how many games are being played.

I've already seen your posts in /nrl/ saying you're going to watch the game, so I win.

Anon international and club rugby never been bigger, and we are in the olimpics
You think that cause nz just switched to league after losing to argentina a couple times
Stop setheeing and enjoy your auswinslol world cup before the actual rugby world cup next year

switched to union after having a melty at the poverty ball world cup champ?

>>158224420

>>158224319
No Jordie is going to make a big difference in defence - he was tackling the house down last week.
I'm still not optimistic about the Wallabies winning though

*welcomes you to rug*

>>158224450
Why would i have a meltdown for reaching 3 out the last 4 wc finals?
Our game was england simple as

siri how many rugby world cups has argentiana won

The Wallabies jersey is honestly aesthetic, but god damn that ugly Cadbury logo at the front keeps me from buying one.
Why the tacky purple color? Why can't they make it green?

Hey look rugby got their own cripple to wheel out!

>>158224467

Just dumb from the NRL really, like why would you even want to share a team name with a successful union team

has an Indian ever played test rugby for a tier 1 or 2 side? or in a premier club competition?

don't like that decision. dodgy try.

if rugby wants to stop killing itself, they NEED to put a muzzle on the fucking TMO
ridiculous the amount of wasted time tied up in them just butting in, let the on pitch refs handle things unless they really need a reply

>>158224676
Surely the Fijian team must have at least one

>>158224676
Indians got a rugby 7s pro league, and its not india but they look a like, sri lanka plays 7s too and they got a xv team that plays in asia and they play the all blacks u85kg

How in the fuck did they beat the boks?
Australia better wake up or its gonna be more than 50

I think it just boils down to preparation. For all his excellence, Rassie went into the match tactically undercooked. Whereas I think the ABs just know the Wallabies like the back of their hands.

IRB/World Rugby just hates Australia. They always have.

Ay yoo good shot of the scrum

>>158224737
Reckon they ought to use that to build their front row. The scrum is one piece of puzzle they still haven't worked out at the moment.

People actually pay money to receive ads on these official sports streams.

we're gonna score like 70 points with no tries to Jordan lol

Not at all. If they were attractive in the first place they wouldn't need to "looksmaxx" surely.

what a dumb aspect of the game

>>Wallabies just keep giving away unforced turnovers
for god's sake

kek Beauden thought he was him

crazy try saver that
Beauden being able to turn that over was quite impressive though

Aus has a great attack but bad defense and they just cant play like the smaller team, which they are against nz, they just want to be flashy

Could this end up as a penalty try?

if this is a penalty try ill suck my own dick

wew

It ended a try but what the fuck he just jeeted the ball

real soft underbelly to this team. 2013 AB's would never concede a try like that.

Serious question Frenchbro, how does French clubs work and why couldn't they play Dupont against the ABs earlier this year?
Will he be able to take the field against the Boks in November?

>>158225334
there are explicit agreements where players can't exceed a fixed number of hours per year on the pitch and implicit agreements where players from the teams that make the finals don't play in summer internationals to rest
but yes he'll probably play against boks in november

I'm thinking Eddie Jones was right about the Wobs lads.

I'm on NZR's side here. V'landys is just going full retard. As usual.

Another pathetic abysmal disgraceful display from the wallabies

Long time handegg watcher just now getting into rugby. Why didn't you guys tell me this shit was so cool?

>>158228287
uhh what match did you watch

>>158228301
Aus vs NZ, barely had an idea of what's going on but you only see plays like this during desperation time in American football.

>>158228387
Well you're off to a good start tuning into the only level of the competition that matters which is international

>>158228534
It actually started with me watching a compilation of drop goals. I used to play kicker and punter in American football so that aspect of the game interested me. From there I started seeing highlights of gigachad tries and crazy passing sequences and I was sold.

>>158228649
Watch the usa games in november, the big international clashes and club wise watch the champions cup/top14 sounds like a lot but it isnt really

>>158228649
>>158228387
You hit the nail, that kind of apparent desperation is what I love about watching rugby as well.

In the game you just watched between NZ and Oz, that sequence of back-and-forth running in that 60-65th minute is actually relatively uncommon in top-tier team matches. You only tend to see it between teams who like to run with balls in hand - NZ, Australia, Fiji, Argentina. If you're keen to see more of that - Fiji is playing Japan next weekend and they'll probably put on a running show.

Why don't all teams do it? It's tiring to sprint back-and-forth. The English, for example, would choose to kick the ball out after only one sprint down the field so they can catch a breather

Canterbury

>>158241289
Case in point - here's 3 minutes of back-and-forth from SR 13 years ago (no better quality available I'm afraid)
It's only 3 minutes, but as you can see most of the players were gassed at the end of that exchange
