If I was to put money on the tournament it would on France. I've not seen how the draw shapes up, but assume it's very feasible tonight's game could mirror the final?

spudski Posted September 8, 2023 Report Share Posted September 8, 2023 Opening ceremony is interesting as to how they are portraying French 'Culture' in Paris. Wish it was still like that. Anyone who's been there recently will know what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the best chance they will have of winning it Hope I'm wrong but I see us losing to SA in the group and then France in the QF. If we beat SA, NZ are very beatable and then anything is possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the retirement of some of the best international referees in recent years he is the right man for this game. He's not one to be swayed by players or crowd.

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted September 8, 2023 Report Share Posted September 8, 2023 What is the commentator wittering on about. It was clearly no more than a yellow card for Will Jordan. The last thing Rugby needs is for the review team to show the inconsistency of VAR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Olympics opening ceremony was lapped here but the rest of the world that it was dogshit. It was just an observation, and a thought that crossed my mind. As to the ' committee ' that came to the conclusion that that was how they were going to portray modern day Paris/ France to the world. Basically a fanciful concept of how the world observed French culture as it was in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
