RWC Week 2: Springboks v Romania

[OomPB]

Fourie will be a success in 2. They can call up Pollard but then Libbok has been great so far.

[DaGrubster]

@OomPB

If you only have 2 hookers and 1 gets injured at the captains run (like Cane did for the ABs)

Who becomes your bench hooker then?

[Smuts]

Reports are that van staden is registered as a reserve hooker

That's pretty callous

Really? How?

Maybe I misinterpreted it but it came across like:

Sorry your Mum died

But, hey, everyone dies

Not of that level, obviously, but it seemed dismissive - maybe just how it reads on a thread

[MiketheSnow]

First ton of the tournament coming up

[stodders]

Romania lost 56-6 to Georgia in August. Just to give some context. Weakest team at the RWC IMO

[stodders]

South Africa pinged in the maul. #lottery

[MiketheSnow]

That is fucking bullshit

YC possibly RC

[stodders]

Erm…Kleyn very lucky there. Shoulder definitely connected with Romania attacker’s head. No drop in height either. Why no TMO?

[stodders]

@MiketheSnow it is becoming a joke Mike. How difficult is it really? Even the TV comms spotted it!

[stodders]

Hahaha. Romania penalised for flopping. Obviously aren’t do it properly.

Surely Namibia or Chile are equal, if not, even worse?

Moodie does what every Irish dummy runner does for the last 4 years.

[stodders]

@The-Irishman just my opinion. Until Tier 2 teams play against each other in the World Cup, we won’t know. Would be good to have a plate competition to allow them more games.

[stodders]

@The-Irishman I will say, Chile look a lot better on attack. Not sure where Namibia sit these days. Will know more after they play Uruguay.

Maybe there should be an earlier Tier 2 comp, and the winner chosen from the "Minnow A Minnow" final (forgive the butchered Spanish).

[Jailbreak7]

Yep. These one way contests dont do rugby any favors. People will be switching off.

[stodders]

@nostrildamus there is something like that (Final Qualification Tournament) to settle the final qualifying spots. Tonga and Tonga qualified in front of USA, Hing Kong and Kenya

Canan “the butcher” Moodie

Sometimes you can have too much time to make a decision
