Rugby World Cup 2015

It's all a load of Cannonballs in here! This is the virtual Arsenal pub where you can chat about anything except football. Be warned though, like any pub, the content may not always be suitable for everyone.

Nope. Strictly a vadge man. In fact that would be my superhero name; Vadge Man.

HERE WE GO AGAIN- HEMISPERE FEST 2015

Post by Step »

Can't believe this load of old tosh is upon us once again.
Be prepared for a load of Brown Shoe Billies pontificating about the importance of this tournament as essentially 6 Nations (that tournament's bollocks as well) take on 26 villages.
Can someone take it upon themselves to carry out a HEMISPHERE count. How many times will that word find its way into conversations from the so called experts? Why does no other sport see the significance of it? Probably because there is none. It's just an intelligent sounding word which fits in with the whole public school ethos.

Get ready for Ian ('I can't believe they waste Old Trafford on football' ) Robertson to spout his middle class drivel ably abbetted by his equally irksome side kick Chris Jones.

The pubs will be full of quaffing Sebastions and Marcus's have a jolly good beer up and singing all sorts of hilarious rude rugger ditties! As I've said before even the bloody trophy has a double barrelled name!

In my opinion they should reduce the whole thing down to one play off match- THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE Vs THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE and spare us the 3+ weeks of irrelevant thrashings.

And please God don't let England win or we will have months of the likes of Blue Peter and The One Show (adult version of the same show) thrusting Rugger down our throats in a vain attempt to convince the public that it is an important/popular sport.

And sorry I spelt the initial Hemisphere incorrectly (state education I'm afraid).

Great to hear the Rugger buggers stick the boot into footy at the first opportunity today.

The RFU stated that faking of injury would result in banishment to 'the sin bin' hoorah!!!

They added that they were introducing this to try and avoid - ' football style behaviour on the pitch' !!!

Well excuse me but if you have so little regard for the beautiful game and the facilities/stadiums that are generously being given over to your petty upper class sport for this 'World Cup' then kindly piss off the your marvelous pits such as The Stoop or The Recreation Ground and leave us alone!!

PS My money's on the Southern Hemisphere for the WEBB ELLIS (Aggregate points score basis)!!!

Blooming egg chasers yawn. They say this is the third biggest sporting event behind the Olympics and the footy WC.

By a long bloody way if you ask me.

England's kicking style doesn't help, at least the teams from the Southern Hemisphere try to play a more attractive to watch expansive game.

Not interested at all, but I'm not going to let it envelope me in a cloud of rage for the next month or so, I've got Arsenal for that. If you're not interested just ignore it. Avoid the BBC and ITV (neither of which I watch anyway) and the papers (which I don't read) and life will go on as normal

Not a big fan but a passing interest. If New Zealand click they're a joy to watch, as are Wales.

Just got back home from Rugby town centre after a few of us hit a nice back street pub after work just down from the big fanzone area. Watched the opening ceremony,(which featured prince harry as a gardener at Rugby School :shock: :D ), but I decided to head home as the eggchasers began to rev up.

OK

After the first engagement the latest score is

NORTHERN HEMISPHERE 35 SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE 11

Lets see how the aggregate hemispherical encounters develop to see which Hemisphere will be crowned Rugga World Cup Champions .
