"If we don't win it won't define me". He's not embracing the challenge, mentally he's already on the back foot

[booboo]

On a journey.

Can't blame Deans.

[booboo]

Ok, prediction time.

Poms to flog BFs in the final.

France knocking off Canucks for 3rd.

Am assuming the draw works that way.

[Bovidae]

Obviously not the first-choice team.

Sufficient fire-power you'd expect

It's hard to compute when you try to think back eh.

[Bones]

This is the opening ceremony? Fuck

Just fuck

It's awful

[Bones]

England showing their intent by looking fucking nigh on incapable of even going one pass from the ruck and still appearing dominant.

[Bones]

England scrum seemingly coached by Itoje.

"Agghhhhhhhhhhh"

[Bones]

USA need to be smarter, that ball was out before the pen was signalled.

[Bones]

Oh good, work experience ref calls advantage over without even waiting to see the outcome of the play.

[Bones]

Refereeing appears to be circa 15 years behind the men's game in terms of calls and interpretation.

[Bones]

Holy shit. If that's worthy of the tmo then fuck off.

Dumb fluffybunny commentator saying you can't play the 9. The ball's out you retard.

She was still part of the ruck no?

Shit call, no way was that a YC

Female commentator is doing my nut

Talk less, talk slower, talk deeper

[MiketheSnow]

Now that was a YC

[MiketheSnow]

Fuck this ref is shit

That should have been a penalty against England for holding on

Great turnover

Is it still a ruck if the ball is out? Which it clearly was.

Female commentator has seemingly spent a lot of time around people who only watch rugby every 4 years.

[Bones]

At least the reffing might be less hometown now that England are pretty much guaranteed to win.

[Bones]

Ball not quite clearly taken at the lineout by USA

[MiketheSnow]

Score does not reflect the half

Should really be 14-7
