[Other Sport] Rugby (Union) World Cup Official Thread

Nearly all the 2nd half played in the Welsh half
I think the Welsh will need another score

Edit Argentina try

 

[timbha]

Welsh fans have gone very quiet again

 

[Hugo Rune]

Come on Argentina! So close now!

 

[kojak]

The argentinan support is amazing

 

[Eggman]

HaHa

Epic Welsh failure

So sad. I think today of the 2 Welsh fans sat behind me in Yokohama in 2019 delirious at England’s defeat in the final. Ha ha ha.

I’m in Aix still going to the England game tomorrow. There were loads of Wales shirts in town this morning, I wonder how many will be seen tonight!

Cya Wales

It's good to see a rugby world Cup with Argentina. Not sure how they got involved with the game, as there doesn't seem many countries involved in the American continent.

Indeed,I believe there is/was a Welsh community of sorts there
If that had any influence I don't know
But more the merrier

Argentina's rugby hotbed is Buenos Aires. I know this as when I was a rugby coach a few years ago, we hosted an Argentine club from further north in that country, and my Spanish speaking mate was asking one of them about the game there. He was told that it's all a bit of struggle for them because they always have to travel at least two hours to get any games.
The game does get popular nationwide during world cups though.

Pathetic post game interviews with the Welsh, especially Gatland

The game could have gone either way...

29-17 says otherwise

Anyway here comes the big one...

In a way the AB losing to France was a blessing
They will be even more determined to prove themselves
If Ireland are within a score with a couple of minutes to go,I'll be surprised

I’m fancying the AB to win even though the bookies have Ireland as favs

Prefer Ireland

 

[Jeremiah]

It would be a good day , rugby wise, if the All Blacks won tonight.

 

[Simster]

Not sure where all this love for the ABs comes from. They've benefitted from all sorts of dubious refereeing down the years. Ireland are a better team too.

I will chuckle if Argentina end up as the only southern hemisphere semi finalists.

Ferocious stuff
