Anyone been watching the World Cup? Japan playing really well against Ireland
Anyone been watching the World Cup? Japan playing really well against Ireland
That was freakin’ cool.
Watched a few matches. Japan with a good win over Ireland. Good to see. Hopefully the Wallabies can smash the Welsh tomorrow. Anyone but the Kiwis…and Pommies
The welsh/ Australia game is a massive tomorrow…
Awesome to see the Japanese hold on against the Irish… every tournament needs a shock and this one has delivered early
Been better starts than this from Australia
Tv guide said 1735. It started 12 minutes later. I wonder how many people get bored and start surfing.
Not as many as would get bored if they were watching Union
I’m comfortable and the remote is out of arm reach.
I’m watching the Berlin marathon instead.
This will be an interesting final 15.
And just quietly, I wish the advantage in football lasted as long as the advantage in Rugby.
France only up 12-9 against USA after 65 minutes
The advantage in rugby seems much longer these days than I remember. In the Georgia - Fiji game on now Georgia went through about five phases right on the Fiji try line, and the ref was playing advantage the whole time for a penalty back on the 22. I thought that once they got over the ‘avantage line’ it was advantage over.
I thought advantage was done by distance moved forwards in rugby rather than time? Or am I completely wrong?
It’s not measured on time.
I did a bit of googling and advantage can be either territorial or tactical. Territorial is fairly obvious and is usually employed for a knock on or minor infringement - if you get a clean ruck one metre further ahead, that’s enough of an advantage over a scrum at the site of the infringement. Tactical advantage is much more vague and is entirely at the discretion of the referee, so in the Georgia-Fiji game the referee must have decided to play advantage until Georgia scored, and that no other result (not even a 20 yard gain) could be considered a tactical advantage over a probable 3 points from the penalty on the 22.
Who knew Uruguay even played rugby?
Don’t they know we have a divine right to win?
Great win from Japan
Great win from japan (again)
Top half of the draw looks loaded with
England v Australia
NZ v Ireland
Wales v France
Japan v South Africa
Those are a bunch of juicy rugby matches.
I might actually have to watch a few games.
Wallabies with a decent start but in the end the Pommies way to good.
Ireland v NZ in the other qtr final. Irish fans singing over the top of the Kiwis Haka was class
The welsh go super lucky against the French… but they’ll give the South Africans a tough battle
England v NZ is going to be a classic game.
Looking forward to the semi finals
