Rugby Union World Cup is being held here in Australia at the moment, went to Australia v Romania on Saturday night...tonight I have tickets to Scotland vs USA.

Didn't know you guys could play the game they play in heaven. :yowsa:

Any other Brisbanites going? :)

LOL! Saw this review on TechTV the other night about a computer game made by Brits. Some weird kind of "Ghetto Soccor" where competing American gangs (oh yeah) "duke it out" playing soccor on a concrete basketball-type field.

They said the one American "hood" leader was named Giles. LMAO! They then told whoever wrote it to get a bleeping clue!! :stout:

And if I'm not mistaken ENGLAND :okthumb: did quite well on Saturday :D

Those poor Romanians took quite a beating!

You would have fitted in well with the hoards of drunken Pommies staggereing all over Sydney late Saturday night (and the game was held in Perth!)

Can't begrudge them a little celebration though... poor poms dont win sporting contests very often :P


You can see what Scotland is doing to the USA team live right here if anyone likes :P

I may have partaken in a beverage or two in celebration :D


With the Rugby World cup, the Cricket recently and Euro 2004 next year, it's looking like England are finally beginning to learn how to play all those games we invented all those years ago :yowsa:

in the prayers of Europeans everywhere.
"Oh Lord, Grant us a sport as good as American Football"

LOL KIDDING there peeps!

spaz

Scotland had better watch out for USA wearing body armour under their shirts ;)

:okthumb:

Yeah ra ra the poms and good on em... the supporters sure do come out of the woodwork when the team starts winning too!!

It's actually good to see all the Northern Hemisphere teams making it a proper competition again all around!

Although I can't believe Italy is still in with a chance to progress.. love to see them smack Wales and make it to the next round!


full time for the Eagles... Scotland beat the USA 39-15 ... pretty good effort though.. I bet Scotland would think that was a lot closer than they would have hoped.

my cousin's Catholic H.S in cleveland has a rugby team

little fuck is Kicking asssssss

:wnw: :rokk:

It's my national pride I guess :D

Quite frankly, the USA sucked. I was rooting for them (in the American sense of the word...not the Australian...lol) but it was all to no avail.

They had numerous penalties close to their try line but opted every friggin time to take the 3 points rather than taking a kick for touch or a scrum. At 12-15 points behind, they could have come close to winning had they had the guts to go for the try line. :huh:

Highlight of the game was a naked Scottish supporter being escorted out by the cops. :agrin:

hey lisa, icq me when you have a minute please ma'am

Hey Danny :)

Trying to get you added but ICQ is fscking up. You can try msging me on 3092587 if you want. :)

Rugby would be one of the few sports American's aren't good at...

and the only sport in which a tiny island such as Fiji could beat the USA!

Ahem... Soccer (real football, no hands), Cricket... :D

The USA are the reigning Olympic champions in Rugby...of course it was last an Olympic sport in 1924. ;)

I looooooooooooove cricket! :D

that's because your country's been so goddamn good at it for what seems like forever :D

Got into Rugby as a kid in Hawaii...still remember our teams bumper stickers:

"It takes leather balls to play Rugby"[b]

Now that one I like :D

:okthumb:

Real Football bah to you Trev! ;-)

Soccer is mostly played so crowds can come together to drink, sing and have some biffo

Gridiron is mostly played so advertisers can come together to sell shit

Rugby Union is almost only played so the boys can go for a drink afterward.

and Rugby league was an attempt to make Rugby like Gridiron.

Which one sounds the most real to you? :D

if by 'biffo' you mean a 'bit of a punch up' then thats the one for me :D

Hahaha :D

give me snooker, football, cricket and lots of beer and I'm a happy bunny :okthumb:

Went to Australia vs Romania.
Although Aus destroyed them, i did notice the romanian fullback was an excellent player. Did anyone see that catch he took hanging over the sideline?

rugby is for pussys.. play football

What with all the padding and the helmets and shit.... hmmmm which game is for pussies you say?!?!
