11.02.19 | England were destined to lose as soon as they tried turning it into a football match |
fogza
11.03.19 | It was amazing. Can't believe we put 20 points on England in a final. Goddamn, I'm so happy!!! |
SAPoodle
11.03.19 | So there is another South African here! Amazing stuff |
fogza
11.03.19 | Lol. Did you watch the game, Poodle? |
fogza
11.03.19 | Yep, we pop up in the weirdest places. |
SAPoodle
11.03.19 | Of course I did. I'm in China though so it was a bit lonely haha I had some English and New Zealander friends over to watch with me |
ramon.
11.03.19 | the medal fiasco was really fucking lame, gg SA |
fogza
11.03.19 | Is that when the prop whipped off his silver medal with disgust? Wasn't sure what that was all about. |
fogza
11.03.19 | New Zealanders are hilarious to watch rugby with, glad you had company! |
SAPoodle
11.03.19 | I went to some of the games during a week's holiday we had here, got to see SA vs Italy so it was nice that I got to see the World Cup winning team in action! And yeah, New Zealanders are pretty enthusiastic about their rugby haha |

11.03.19 | Despite the disappointment South Africa smashed it. Quality team who thoroughly deserved to win. |
DoofDoof
11.03.19 | Weird sport tbh
Penalty this penalty that
Both SA/Wales and SA/England were a tedious spectacle but Baby Thor bloke was amusing |
Wubs
11.03.19 | Hah, I'm from NZ and grew up bored of rugby. Though keeps it interesting when we loose. Although I saw a few posts warning about likely a higher rate of domestic abuse. |
SAPoodle
11.03.19 | @Doof tbh the knockout stages are rarely where the spectacles happen, that shit's reserved for the pool stages and non-WC games. Knockout rugby is all about the result |
fogza
11.03.19 | Respect for the graciousness Zak. Doof, agree about the Wales game, but the final was actually quite a good game to watch, there was a bit more running play. |

11.03.19 | Such a topsy-turvy WC that was. Bokke with the deserved win in the end.

DoofDoof
11.03.19 | The first SA try was class I will agree on that. The constant scrum penalties not so sure entertainment wise - kept saying SA had the rugby rules cheat code |
blastOFFitsPARTYtime
11.03.19 | If England had played even 80% as well as they did against the ABs, they would have won pretty comfortably I reckon. |
shibole
11.04.19 | SAPoodle, where about's are you in China? I'm an Englishman living in Nanjing and I didn't think I would find another person living in China on here. Congratulations to South Africa anyway, you guys whooped us! I've met loads of lovely South Africans here over the years and am genuinely pleased for you guys. |
SAPoodle
11.04.19 | @shibole I'm up in Jinan, Shandong Province. And thanks man, I honestly gave us very little chance of winning right up until about 10-20 minutes into the game. I really expected England to be too good for us but I'm glad the Boks proved me wrong! You're not by any chance going to see Opeth in Beijing/Shanghai when they're here in December are you? |
shibole
11.05.19 | Dude it was not even on my radar that Opeth might even come to China, that's insane! I would love to get to the Shanghai show but it's on a Monday and it would be pretty hard to take the time off work. Sucks so hard. When Maiden came here a few years back it was the same kind of situation. |
Demon of the Fall
11.05.19 | I don't really watch RU anymore, the final reminded me why - the game was incredibly dull for the most part. Nice bit of class from SA for the first try, but until that moment what a horrible spectacle. I guess the final was never going to be the best example of what a sport can offer and I have seen decent games in the past, but blimey was I unimpressed. It was mostly a game of kicking and trying to win scrums/penalties by any means possible.
Well played SA regardless, stout defence, great tactically etc. Not that I'd know much about these things.
I'll go back to completely ignoring the entire sport till the next big England game I guess. Beginning to understand why people around here prefer League. |
blastOFFitsPARTYtime
11.05.19 | I might be well and truly in the minority over in NZ, but defo prefer League as well. |
fogza
11.06.19 | I prefer a mixture of forward play and backline stuff. League doesn't appeal. |
Trundle
11.06.19 | my bro sent me a couple pics of his head busted up playing in Wales, duded is like 1 month away from getting his PHD and he's still playing competitive sports,
fucking talk about a standard to live up to |
