Damn I forgot this shyt starts today, I been so sucked in by the US Open

Anyway Ireland have been looking like a well oiled machine so I'm picking the to break through the glass ceiling and win the tournament

 

[Kunty McPhuck]

If England manage to get out of the group it will be just as good as winning the Wolrd Cup.

 

[Kunty McPhuck]

apart from the first 2 mins to start each half France utterly dominated New Zealand who did phuck all else attacking wise. South Africa's beating they put on the All Black's at Twickenham looks to be more than just a bad day at the office.

 

[Jean toomer]

NZ need to bush the haka. They are a damn disgrace right now.

 

[BlackAchilles]

Wouldn't shock me at all if Georgia beat the Wallabies here

 

[Jean toomer]

Romania should stick to gymnastics and dictators. Ireland dropping 82 on their head

 

[BlackAchilles]

Wallabies player took a nasty knee to the head

Looks like I was wrong, Australia are playing relatively well while Georgia look sloppy

 

[Liu Kang]

Watched the Ireland game and the passing from the Irish was neat. Romania is probably not a top team but still, Ireland looked great.

Taniela Tupou putting in an all time "Athletic fat guy" performance today, I want to see him start at 9 for them

I looked him up on the strength of this comment and I don't even know how he physically runs. His legs are so fukking big, it's like they're each occupying space where the other leg should be.

Reminds me of the time I played against I team that had some refrigerator built guy guy that was some kind of Pacific Islander

Though he was a prop but then he had the 9 shirt on and I couldn't believe the way this big ass dude was scampering around and the soft hands he had passing

England truly are trash and now 3 red cards in successive games.

The early reds in big matches really do kill them

I remember they had the big Six Nations clash vs Ireland a year ago and went down to 14 men in under 5 minutes
