john stones 1 - Moderator Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 3 game ban for Curry, reduced to 2 if he attends a tackling course. Seems harsh to me, and don't mention consistency, they'll turn Rugby into a farce like they did with VAR in football. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Fry Posted September 13, 2023 Author Share Posted September 13, 2023 I think the rules already make it a farce. It’s dangerous to boost in the line out, illegal for many years, then it’s OK, but it’s illegal to interfere until he is back on the ground. Bonkers. Kick off ball, can’t tackle until catcher is grounded, not don’t jump, stay on the ground. And it goes on. A mixture to conflicting attempts to prevent head injury, with efforts to create ballet.

Don Fry Posted September 13, 2023 Author Share Posted September 13, 2023 And while I’m ranting, in a sport seeking to reduce impact injuries, do the brains that be decide to allow padding the the clothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyGnome Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Lots of the 'undershirts' seem to have padding already.... I can easily see compulsory headgear before the next world cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangely enough there's often a significant time lag between our programmes though both are from Discovery+ (now Eurosport on-line seems to have stopped).

Compulsory headgear, ummm, rule of the giants methinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyGnome Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Wales very unimpressive; Portugal very impressive - they should give Georgia a good game and the score vs Fiji could be like a cricket score! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Well done Fiji, can't see the Aussies beating Wales, dreadful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron evans Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I hope you're right John, but I expected the Aussies to come put of the blocks on fire next week after that loss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyGnome Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Yeah, I was torn..... wanted Aussies to lose (for many reasons) but didn't really want Fiji to win. Wales will probably lose to the aussies 'cos we always do..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outrunner Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 George Fords kick to Steward was sublime, the rest was mostly frustrating. The Joe Marler header was, well else do you expect from big Joe 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Fry Posted September 18, 2023 Author Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) Scorer of third try, Courtney Lawes actually watching the ball, and not assuming. We’ll done he. Edited September 18, 2023 by Don Fry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Georgia v Portugal. Enjoyable watch. England v Chile. Not getting overexcited but enjoyed it. South Africa v Ireland. Preview of the final. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Fry Posted September 23, 2023 Author Share Posted September 23, 2023 I’m glad you enjoyed that fest. I on the other hand never stopped all day, shmbo disappeared this afternoon, shopping with mate, inc a light lunch, these shops do so tire. Also the exhaustion drove from her mind she was going to finish dinner, so everything ended up timed for half time. Agree with England. Relax now for the main dish to come. I still fancy France, but if the winners tonight meet again, I reckon the memory sticks, same again next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
