Our very own RWC thread.

Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England will join 16 other nations as they compete for the ultimate prize in rugby – the Webb Ellis Cup – which was last won by the Springboks in 2019. The opening match of Rugby World Cup 2023 will see hosts France face three-time winners New Zealand on Friday 8th September. The final will take place seven weeks later on Saturday 28th October.

Interesting 1st half ,good start from the ABs with an early try which I thought more would follow but both sides looking nervous hence the kicking , two penalties awarded for collapsing the scrum which seems to be the ABs weakness and considering the conditions the ball handling from both sides has been excellent .Just wondering who's going to take a few chances to get a grip on the game otherwise it's going to be more of the same


Excellent performance from France ,well deserved win ,too.many errors from the ABs cost them the match.I think we've just saw the winners not only of tonight's match but the tournament

Never seen the All Blacks playing so poorly, they're a complete shadow of their former self's, France had at least 75% of the game, dominant in the loose, dominant in the set piece, dominant in every facet of the game.

Their kicking was far too often and far too inaccurate. Very unlike them. When they did run at France they had them by the bollocks. First minute of the game an example.

Mornin all.
Well,it’s started and it’s something to look forward to.
I’ve LwYs though we in the northern hemisphere have deified All blacks throughout the years.
Yes,they produce great players but we make them into Gods and consequently we are beaten before we start .
Bokke don’t have that attitude,neither do the French . It’s annoying.
Most of the GOATs have not been Kiwis.

This lot look distinctly average and for them to lose two games in a row will upset them from Auckland to Invercargill. Tough titty.

The opening ceremony ,to me ,was gash as was the anthems . Pitiful really.

And best of all,a change from the relentless football drivel that drives us whether we like it or not..

Enjoy it

I saw the headline...

...and thought, they can't change the result after the game. Then I looked at the story and it's the score that changed. Blooming WOL and their crap headlines.

Close game between Ireland and Romania then.

Equivalent to a football team beating a World Cup opponent 15-0…farcical.

Well if either are playing S Africa they will certainly be there or there abouts because they will be on the same pitch.

Any upright direct head contact is a red these days. Thought it was borderline myself but not surprised I’d was given. The Argentina chap will stay yellow as the first contact wasn’t direct to the head

Yeah playing extremely well. Really intelligent play and George Ford third dropkick. Argentina will need to make the one man advantage work, so far they playing a poor game but let see what happens.

Fans apparently having trouble getting into Stade Velodrome before KO. More great French organisation there then.

I wonder if they'll pull a champions league stunt and blame the English?
