Number Posted October 28, 2023 Author Share Posted October 28, 2023 Disaster for All blacks. Their captain red carded. Will play rest of the game 14 players. SA lead 12-6 at half time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vickydev Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 The game was too late to follow but SA won that again by a point. Absolute mentality monsters in this sport, winning all KOs in that manner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute mentality monsters in this sport, winning all KOs in that manner I think they got a bit lucky with NZ captain receiving yellow which got upgraded to red. But they spent majority of time defending after 10 minutes and looked quite solid. Amazing that they beat Eng in SFs too by just one point.

cowboysfan Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 i would consider this a choke .all blocks missed the 2 point conversion which would have given them the lead and a easy 3 pointer was missed by Barrett late in the game as well.I havent watched Rugby in a while but it has turned into a kicking competition in this WC.

jf1gp_1 Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Even i haven't followed rugby closely for over a decade now but i heard south africans made major changes to the squad which resulted in this win however it didn't work for aussies who brought in a new coach just ahead of WC.

Laaloo Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I watched for 10 minutes. Couldn't understand anything that was going on. coffee_rules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffee_rules Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I follow NFL or rather used to, but this game seems similar it looked very childish. They made rules as they went by, it looked as if. The only thing I could relate to was the Scrum. We have a daily scrum in our team. diga 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bharathh Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Rugby Sevens is better than Rugby with more players. Faster.. still IMO Rugby as a sport is boring. ravishingravi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a proud American you do not understand Rugby? I thought it was the pass time of elite there. Have a hot dog, drink a beer and watch grown men run at each other in a lot of heavy duty gear. Zero Assimilation. Multiculturalism has failed. Laaloo, coffee_rules and Lord 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugby League is a more free flowing end to end game with less rolling on the ground. ravishingravi and coffee_rules 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No American knows about Rugby even if it walks naked on the street! . It’s one of the sport like Curling that they make fun of. Hot dog and beer? That must be Baseball. If you mean Football, it is the one they use hands most of the time and use legs only to get 3 points to kick a field goal or a point after a touchdown, sometimes to punt. Punters and kickers are in different special teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. Stoppages are for people to stop yelling at their TVs and to go pee. Or for Super Bowl ads that run at 5 mil a spot these days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
