After the All Blacks victory last night over South Africa, a formal thread for the RWC is in order.

NZ seriously doesnt play again until Oct 2?

It's against Canada, I'll have to locate an establishment that is showing the match.

No Canadian media is giving much coverage to rugby unfortunately.
I get my rugby fix with the highlights on YouTube. They do a good job.

Not daily, only world cup cricket. They have crazy 5 day matches. Fuck that noise.

A man's game. Surprising to see a thread on here, till I remember we have a few down unders around these parts.

Comes as no surprise. All blacks are the team to beat. Canada has a fairly young rugby organization.
It'd be synonymous with NZ playing us in hockey.
Yep
Many of the comments on YouTube went along those lines
Errrr kiwis come n play us in ice hockey well kick your asses woof woof

BenAskrensStrikingcoach @Suicidalforlife how did Ireland lose to Japan?

Isn't Irish rugby/Gaelic football your national sport?

We haven't been performing well, even against Russia there were a lot of mistakes, Japan did well, they are a good side.



Home field advantage matters here too, couple of questionable calls.

We will still make it to the next round, SA or NZ, will be the toughest match, see if we are worth the world number 1.

How are the yanks getting on?

Ouch, thats a shit group, no chance.

I've been busy as fuck , have only watched the highlights of 5 or 6 games all tournament, 1 full match.

Brits look the part, Kiwis look the part, SA are dangerous.

We aren't holding up well, should beat Samoa but I don't fancy our chances, lads looked tired and anxious out there against Russia.

NZ are the best, they also had Rubgys biggest crossover star, rip Lomu.

We did the grand slam in the 6 nations 2018 and followed it up by beating NZ in November the same year.

It was our only home soil win ever and only second ever victory against them but we have a win over them in the most recent meeting all the same.

Ireland had the world number 1 spot at the start of the tournament, despite Wales getting the grand slam this year and NZ being the best.

We probably wont leave with it though.
