Rugby World Cup

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.

Like most sports, I take an interest in the big international competitions, in anything from golf to rugby.
Tennis and athletics are the big turn offs for me, find the Olympics and Wimbledon etc a complete bore.
I don't include GAA as a sport, just a hoarde of inbred culchie redneck fucking sheep shaggers chasing each other around a ploughed field.Cheered on by halfwits.
Very accurate description, sid! 8) :lol:

Hurling is embarassing shit to be fair to Sid and DB10.

Rugby's a great game. Don't play it as playing it really is shite and it's rugby or football.

Support South Africa, should really support England but same with Arsenal, wasn't given a choice at age 3 :lol: cheers Dad.

Fancy the Skippy-shaggers to win, they were unbelievable in the Tri-Nations and their backline is deeeeeeeench. NZ to come 2nd, Bokke/frogs 3rd/4th, England out in quarters

DB 10 I couldn't agree with you more.

I can't stand watching Accountants in the Making giving their chortling posh boy talk before games and implying that the whole country is gripped by this mickey mouse affair.

There are only 3 teams capable of winning the thing so why not cut the crap and have a glorified 5/6 Nations . At least it would be over in a week or so.

Also why whenever there is a Rugger Bugger discussion does the subject of 'HEMISPHERES' come up every time. Why is it so significant in Bounder Ball and not in any other sport?

I don't know, singing dirty Rugger ditties whilst quafing weak Bitter just does not appeal. Absolute posh minority sport.

Bugger me even the ' world cup trophy' itself has a double Barrelled name!!!

I'm a budding accountant and I, for one, do not give a shit about the Rugby World Cup 8)

Just to summarise:

Football

Cricket
























































Rugby

Depends where you come from, its a working class game in Wales, before it went pro players would be down in the mine or steelworks in morning then lining up against the all blacks in the afternoon.

My dad was there in '73 when llanelli beat the all blacks 9-3. All the pubs in llanelli ran dry.

Sorry I meant to type ' Solicitors'!!!!

Yes agree re the Welsh but the English Rugger Buggers are the epitomy of Upper Class, Silver Spooned , overpriveleged knobs.

Personally I feel a Southern Hemisphere Team will win it!!!!!

Altogether now- ' 4 and 20 Virgins......'

Its going to be the All Blacks to do over the Wallabies on home turf. Boks/England for 3rd place England to get 3rd. Wales & Ireland quarters, Scotland group stage, not sure about Argentina this year and the French are always there or thereabouts.

Calm it!!!!

Only one thing worse than an England Rugger fan and thats a female England Rugger fan. Jodperrred up lesbos with beards trying to emulate their dirty ditty singing heroes.

Come on you Argies..

In my opinion Mr weller got it right

'All that rugby puts hairs on your chest,
What chance have you got against a tie and a crest'

Hello hooray I hope rain stops play for the Eton rifles Eton Rifles

Hello hooray I'd prefer the plague to the Eton Rifles Eton rifles'

100% Knobs.

For the lads slagging rugby as a posh boy sport..

Do you actually play it? I mean beyond School level. You'd be in for a fucking shock if you played for my Rugby Club! I'd love to catch one of you offside at a ruck.... you'd have a lovely stud-mark tattoo across your face!
