Salford ram Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Need to simplify the rules, refs have to much influence , in one paper it rates the refs performance ? Don't want to watch to see refs performance , want to watch running rugby. Trying to explain rules to others a nightmare , not gonna get neutrals to watch if to complicated. If simplified rules , like rugby league, but kept line outs , mauls proper scrums etc, game would be much better ? IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salford ram Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Cracking semis , NZ vs SA , Arg vs Aus, can't call it, gonna be good. Can the best team of all time , deliver ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Really hope NZ crush SA today. The standard of rugby the All Blacks showed against France was awesome and a joy to watch. SA are just a rucking unit that tries to bully the opposition.I still think that had England picked a side to win rather than a side to stop the other team, we could still be in this. But then, that's just like the football, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salford ram Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 New Zealand won it 20 - 18 close but probably deserved it. South Africa ran out of steam and needed to score a try but couldn't. NZ looked nervous at times, gonna be a close final and good game hopefully. Hope Argentina show up this afternoon , not bothered who wins , but would like to see a good game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Australia and New Zealand in the final, been pretty much the perfect World Cup for the Southern Hemisphere. Even as an Australian, there exists a small part of me that thinks New Zealand really should win it. They are an incredible side, and with Australia having already taken the Cricket World Cup this year, and it being a case of their favourite sport against our 5th sport, it would be nice for them to finally be able to have the trophies to back up their claim to be the greatest Rugby nation on the planet. That said, if Australia wins they'll be holders, have the most World Cups and be World number 1 in Rugby. For Australia though, it'll be a tense week making sure that Sio, Folau and especially Pocock are fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 14 minutes left, 21-17 to the All Blacks. Great match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 That'll just about do it, New Zealand score after Australia commit numbers to try and get that much needed try. Congratulations to New Zealand, deservedly the first team to 3 World Cups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon the ram 2009 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Was a great match, I wanted NZ to win but I did cheer when the Aussies scored there second try, just for the fact I wanted to see a good game of it, NZ thoroughly deserved it, best team in history and in Richie McCaw the best player ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inglorius Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Stuart Lancaster resigned today as England coach. Maybe some football managers should take a leaf out of his book doing the honourable thing. Not that he won't have negotiated a massive pay out with England RFU beforehand.

ValeRam Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Reading today about all the off-field, 'motivational' stuff that Lancaster introduced and did. Like putting up inspiring slogans all over the place and orchestrated letters to the players from their parents saying how proud of them they were. Not a follower of rugby having been force-fed it in a rugby-only playing school, but with hindsight, wasn't it all a bit of nonsense when surely the priority should be to fix on a way of playing and knowing what your best starting team should be ? Sounds like a classic case of style over substance to me and the same principles apply equally to football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
