that was the MOST disappointing game i have ever seen.
the rugby admin have to change the send-off rule.

it completely ruined the game for the 60,000 spectators, the millions of viewers and the other 14 members of that team

I think the red card for a spear tackle is good.
You could easily break a man's neck & turn him into a quadriplegic.
The captain - of all people - should know the rules.

or much much worse! tetraplegic...death...im sure rugby followers/players/supporters etc know at least one person seriously hurt due to rugby? ALOT is unreported in both codes.

still....go the abs!

Thanks for agreeing with me.
Not long to go now before the big historic game.

Yes Sprint,
I was dissapointed with the last 2 games.
The scores were so low.
I mean only 1 try in a whole match?

It was a bit boring compared to some of the earlier matches.

I would still watch the last 2 games.
Imagine if France won? Grin

I agree I prefer watching Union against league..but when you see this WORLD CUP...so they bring in all this minnows to make it look like the world plays Union..they are doing themselves an injustice I think and making it all a bit hohum... its isnt interesting/exciting watching one team go over the line 50 times.. it just isnt!

good luck with countries like Korea and Japan.. but to put them in the same basket with the likes of NZ.. Eng.Aust.and SA..makes them look like fools for turning up.

maybe having divisions like the soccer
