Fez of Mahrez Posted 11 September 2007 Posted 11 September 2007 So in that case why don't South Africa or another country (Not a home nation) play some games at the Millennium Stadium or Murrayfield for example? i.e Not Wales or Scotland playing at there home grounds? It'd be fairer that way. Only in the same way that France have an "unfair advantage" by playing in France. Makes more sense to let fans watch their own team in their own country rather than making more of them travel hundreds of miles unnecessarily.
Finnegan Posted 12 September 2007 Author Posted 12 September 2007 Tbh, if there's rugby, in Europe, there'll be a good thirty to fourty odd Welshmen at LEAST watching it. We packed out Nantes or wherever we played Canada and we'd do it all over France. It's a case of you scratch our backs and we'll scratch yours, really. Things work differently in rugby, generally, the top eight or nine teams are going to win no matter where they play.
Finnegan Posted 12 September 2007 Author Posted 12 September 2007 Farrel at fly half. AAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA. Vickery out? Sackey "ready" for Habana? Farrel... at fly half. Aaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahaaha.
Milky Posted 12 September 2007 Posted 12 September 2007 Farrel at fly half. AAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA.Vickery out? Sackey "ready" for Habana? Farrel... at fly half. Aaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahaaha. You should get your own house in order before taking the piss. Such a bitter obsession
MPH Posted 12 September 2007 Posted 12 September 2007 ... watching the fiji chaps lining up for the anthem...... I know its all the rage this year to have the figure hugging tops, but some of those Fiji chaps perhaps should of gone for bigger sizes...
Finnegan Posted 12 September 2007 Author Posted 12 September 2007 You should get your own house in order before taking the piss. Such a bitter obsession We've spent nearly two years struggling with injuries, a very small squad pool and general disarray. It's good to see someone else know our pain.
dandannieldanok Posted 12 September 2007 Posted 12 September 2007 Farrel at fly half. AAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA.Vickery out? Sackey "ready" for Habana? Farrel... at fly half. Aaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahaaha. I don't think it really matters for this game, we would have probably lost with a full strength team anyway, this just means heightened embarassment
Finnegan Posted 12 September 2007 Author Posted 12 September 2007 But embarrassment is a knock to the squad's confidence and rhythm, there's always a knock on effect. Like I've said before, rugby's different to football, if South Africa cream you by fourty odd points you're not going to be in a very good shape going into your remaining games. Samoa will seriously, all bias, banter and joking aside, be licking their lips right now.
dandannieldanok Posted 13 September 2007 Posted 13 September 2007 Mike Catt will play at Fly half not Farrel. This just gets better and better
Milky Posted 14 September 2007 Posted 14 September 2007 Half-Time England 0 - 20 South Africa. It was to be expected really. SA are just a much better team.
Brainy Posted 14 September 2007 Posted 14 September 2007 Taking away the "this is South Africa" factor.. is it just me, or has this been an embarrasement? (Bar Robinson)
davieG Posted 14 September 2007 Posted 14 September 2007 Taking away the "this is South Africa" factor..is it just me, or has this been an embarrasement? (Bar Robinson) I'd call it shite, so many errors, poor tactics, poor execution.
Wycombe Fox Posted 14 September 2007 Posted 14 September 2007 I heard before the match that the bookies were offering 10/1 on Robinson scoring a try at any point in the game. They're not usually very wrong and sums up our chances! We're a very poor side at the minute.
Brainy Posted 14 September 2007 Posted 14 September 2007 I'm not the biggest cricket fan, but when I look at the Twenty20 World Cup squad, I think I recognise each name. Here, I'd say i've heard of 9.
davieG Posted 14 September 2007 Posted 14 September 2007 England played like a bunch of second rate amateurs.
davieG Posted 14 September 2007 Posted 14 September 2007 I didn't think SA were all that special, how many times did our players run straight back into the ruck and lose the ball, instead of passing. Against teams from the southern hemisphere heavy weight tactics don't win you games.
Finnegan Posted 14 September 2007 Author Posted 14 September 2007 I'll be honest, shall I? I was going to come on here and post about as many HAHAs as I could fit in a post. I was going to really, really, really lay in and have a good old roll around the floor. But you don't deserve it. To be honest, that's got to be one of the most demoralising, embarrassing and disillusioning performances a major nation could give. I feel for you, lads, I really do. I know what it feels like. I've spent most of my international rugby life watching an underachieving, second-rate side and only in recent years have we REALLY had something to sing about. Welcome to the dark ages of rugby union, lads, I only hope it doesn't take you the 20 odd years it took us to get something of a renaissance. My condolences to you all, I genuinely, genuinely feel for you.

lcfc_jme Posted 14 September 2007 Posted 14 September 2007 I'm not the biggest fan of egg-chasing I must say, but that actually was a complete joke. We were bloody useless. South Africa tonight were from my limited knowledge an average side and didn't play anywhere near their best, and they still murdered us. Poor all round for me.
Bert Posted 15 September 2007 Posted 15 September 2007 I'm glad i didn't watch it. I'm not that into Rugby so i don't really have hatred for any of the home nations as i do when it comes to football. England are in the doldrums and going to be stuck there for a few years, so we have a few players missing means nothing. We should at least be able to put ina half decent performance with any team we field. We only just beat the USA.
Finnegan Posted 15 September 2007 Author Posted 15 September 2007 You should wait until the Australia game is out of the way before coming on here and having a gloat.. If proof was ever needed that Ultra can't read... There are times I think you're a bit hard done to on here. Then there are times I think you're fooking retarded, christ.
ASH17LCFC Posted 15 September 2007 Posted 15 September 2007 If I was an England Rugby fan I’d be really embarrassed
