morning Agree, watching the so called lesser teams thus far play should be a wake up call to us England and a lesser extant Scotland . Regarding Female commentators , much more preferable than listening to the droning of the only gay in the village Thomas , every time I see his mug I shiver inside, the mucky pup. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Hi. I detest GT in every way . I well remember his hysteria on Scrum V with Eddie Butt. I feel all events now are featuring female pundits for signalling reasons Sky cricket a perfect example . What a loss Gower,Botham,Bumble etc I’m not liking this World wide Fiji love in. Saffas are good value for a wind up though on Facebook. Like Pavlov Dogs . I had an exchange with a Terblanche chap in the Western Cape. Too much time on my hands | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

I can see it being a real scrap. Austraila are weaker in forwards (particularly without Skelton) but the backs are very dangerous. Options are to go out and try and win it or keep it tight, keep the ball away from the backs and stop them from getting 4 tries. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

Never write off NZ mate. But Ireland are going to be top 3 at least. After watching ulster+munster last 10 years im not surprised in the slightest. I don't think we are getting out of the group sadly | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

The 2023 Rugby World Cup Thread on 22:32 - Sep 23 with 846 views | majorraglan | Really pleased to see the Irish prevailing, it was a ferocious game with no quarter given. Thought the ref favoured SA who are very cute with their off the ball obstruction. Wouldn’t discount the South Africans winning it, if they’d had a kicker they’d have won. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
