[Other Sport] The official I LIKE rugby and The Rugby World Cup thread.

Jesus, one of the greatest sporting moments I can remember for years. Brilliant. Just stunning by the Japanese at the end.

Yep, that was up there with the best of the best. Cracking game, edge of seat stuff throughout and love it when you see the underdogs pull off a shock....that was incredible. Sure there will be many more great games this WC but that will be hard to beat.

Sooooo glad I didn't join that rugby betting syndicate

Blown out on the second day.

 

[Marlton & Hove Albion]

Great result today for Japan/NZ Reaerves.

Curious how much $$$$ the club will collect from two capacity crowds and hospitality? Will we clear 1M quid?

Wales v Uruguay starts at 2:30 on ITV

No chance. We'll make pennies from it.

Everyone in the Uruguay team have jobs along with their professional rugby careers

Some blatant cheating being well dealt with here.

It's only been the first weekend so this could change, but I think Rugby is showing cricket why you need the lesser nations.

Georgia and Japan shock wins and none of the lesser nations have been well and truly smashed yet and have improved on the previous years.

Totally this. I remember only 12/16 years ago, some of these 2nd tier nations would be being beaten by a three figure score. They really are improving very quickly.

Just got back from the game. The argie fans were great. We have much to learn from rugby. Crowd mixed up meant chats were joined in around the ground from both sides. Great banter. Beers in seats, no trouble. Happy days
