The Rugby World Cup

Postby Metal Iain on Fri Sep 21, 2007 10:21 pm

Yes yes, I know many of you think you're too straight to watch rugby but I'm starting the thread anyway.

I just thought I'd make my approval for Scottish and Welsh tries be known (Rory Lamont is Jesus, Chris Paterson God). Fuck knows what England and Ireland are playing at though.

It's looking like a pretty hard World Cup to call seeing as the three Tri-Nations teams have all played disturbingly well. My initial prediction was a Springboks - Frogs final but I'm not so sure now.

Is anyone else following it, or are you all slack-jawed faggots that love ale and crappy hot pot?

Cricket now thats a mans game, thought our recent 'attempt' at playing has been rather shocking.

Rugby.
Played by public school boys and farmers.
Played by people who enjoy ejaculating into a pint glass and betting their team-mates to drink it.

Aye, but I was hesitant in starting a thread about it because the vast majority of people I know have the same, ignorant and out-dated views of rugby as you.

Have you not seen Habana yet? He can run the hundred metres in 10.5 seconds. Even front row forwards aren't allowed to be fat any more.

I don't see what is manly about sitting in a pavilion sipping Pimm's and chatting about jolly sweaters.

I haven't been keeping up to date with the World Cup, although I hear Japan took a beating recently. :lol: Comes to something if all my boys can manage is to beat the Japs.

Aye, but they also scored a potential try of the tournament. It was like watching the All Blacks. Seriously, one end of the pitch to t'other.

I don't like rugby because I played it as a child and wasn't very good at it.
