The Rugby thread

Having a look at Japan's announced team to play France. They made some drastic changes, not only player rotations, but also position changes. Their tight 5 is the same, but they have an 8/7 switch, new 9/10 pair, wing to centre switch, and new backline pair on the bench. Matsushima, who had a bad game against England, and also a playmaker is also benched, but that is a strategy at play.

Is this a better team, I don't know. I haven't seen these combinations play,

France isn't allowing them breathing room either,

though Dupont is suspended.

I don't think Joseph took Japan's loss lightly...
 
I never thought these words will cross my lips but please can we at least win against Italy?
 
For some reason I don't see updates to this thread and have to search for rugby to even see the thread

@bwana could you please check
 
Is the stream playing at 0.5x speed or is this the slowest rendition of our anthem I've ever heard?
 
Not conceding after scoring is something you would imagine an international side would master
 
Must say I might have been to hard on the Boks, had very close games with two best teams in the world but today you can see the difference between the top teams and the rest. We also seem to have some decent depth in all positions barring maybe hooker and full back.
 
People say that rugby has gotten soft because of all the red cards, and then you see someone gets knocked out cold because of a bit of a bump against someone's hip.

These guys tale a beating
