Rugby World Cup 2023

[Tim of the Oak]

I’m not a real rugby head but, I’d take it over Rugby League any day.

Ireland vs the All Blacks is the pinnacle of rugby Union atm. In a way it’s equivalent of the State of Origin games that’s arguably the highest standard of RL globally. Tonight’s match is amazing and so are the State of Origin games

To stop start rugby union for me. Penalties every few seconds rarely lets the game get going plus a sin bin for a deliberate knock on seems very harsh

.... and sin bins for constantly being offside, which don't make any sense.

Much prefer rugby league

Both great sports.
sound like they should be the same but quite different really.
A bit like comparing flat racing to steeplechasing

I'm not really a rugby fan but I admire how they officiate the games, compared to what we get in the PL every week.

the players put footballrs to shame
but the game holds nothing to me

NZ defence has been excellent.

.... another QF exit for Ireland?. At least if worse comes to worse the Semi-Finals won't be like 2015; a Rugby Championship straight knock out affair.

Enough time left, need to stay calm and not to force it too much.
