My missus has been utterly transfixed by these weekends games.
Fantastic entertainment and quite why anyone is looing to denigrate it is beyond me.
The games have been brutal yet the sportsmanship shown makes footballers look the shites they are. The likes of Diego Costa- hard man etc_ need to look at how sport is played .
Players have shown staggering bravery and commitment and all should be commended. |  |

Just to put something straight, the All Blacks were in Mumbles this time last week (The Mermaid for the pub fans) and they were sampling (2 pints each) a certain Mumbles Gold tipple. So much for the ultimate professionals and how they'd never do it eh. So that's one myth that can be safely put to bed. |  |

It's actually good to hear that the old standards are being maintained. These are human beings who play rugby after all |  |

The late and violent challenge on Hogg after he kicked to clear their lines was not looked at by the ref and/or TMO, when it was blatant. The whole stadium was booing.
I am gutted for the Scots, who were well and truly shafted by the officials. |
Scotland shafted maybe, but shed no tears for Hogg he loves to late charge people and give try scorers some afters.
The fact is we arent good enough, unfortunately. |  | | |

Hogg dives a lot and pretends too, so a bit of karma. I just don't like to see underdogs, who have next to no chance anyway, having to overcome institutionalised bias towards some teams, which to be fair has been going on since I started watching in 1968.
If rugby wants to grow though it simply can't treat its tier 2 teams as it does. It could be argued that Scotland would not even be there had Japan had a fair roll of the scheduling dice. And as for the citing nonsense....and sentencing variation...well. Amazing to say, given the issues with it too, but football is like a glowing beacon in comparison. |  |

Rugby is very predictable.
Only 2 of the 40 group games was won by a lower ranked side. |  |

It's official the ref screwed up and gave the penalty to Australia when he should nt have. Was enough to knock the sweaties out by one point
Shame |  |

All blacks just gave a masterclass on how to close a game out. | |

They were the opposite of the negative Boks who were trying to win by the errors of the ABs rather than create anything. I could almost see them sneak it again even though they didn't deserve anything.
The ABs were very nervous for a lot of that game. Not as nervous as my Kiwi son in law who was silent apart from the occasional feck. |  |

Blues is Patchell, Dragons is Jason Tovey and Scarlets on Friday night was Shingler I think although Aled Thomas went back there after Priestland left.
What's your view on Mcaw's elbow deliberate or accidental? Looks like you could read it either way if it was deliberate it was virtually undectable certainly not an obvious movement of the elbow. | |

Australian first try just goes to show that when refs give penalties and yellow cards for attempted interceptions because the attempt was with one hand it's complete b0LL0CKS. |  |

Wouldn't it be nice to see a team play running rugby instead of just kicking it to the opposition. |  |
| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

Better debate with rugby.
Why is it discussions on this sport are less fractious .
Football clearly brings worst out of people | |
