Rugby World Cup 2019

He and Mark of Two Cent Rugby are good fun. Robbie's analysis of matches is incredible and his dry wit makes it very entertaining. Mark's more of unbiased Kiwi view point with a bit of stats thrown in. Haven't really watched much of Off The Ball but they seem high quality as well.

Squidge Rugby is brilliant, love watching it way more than anything Supersport puts out as "analytics".

 

Think he is going to have to pick his battles this World Cup, else he will surely burn out if he goes his standard full-depth in each match.

How superstitious are you..... The last time we won a world cup there was a player in the team that won his second winners medal 12 years after his first.... Same again for 2019 with Frans Steyn in the mix??[emoji16]

Our rugby does seem to go through a sinusoidal pattern of peak and bust....coincidentally with a period of 12 years...

 

Allot of the stars seem to be aligning.

 

But the only thing that matters is the final numbers on the scoreboards when the ref blows his final whistle.

 

Looking forward to following the proceedings.

And the last time we played Canada at a World Cup we won that World Cup.

 

Not sure you can read anything into that though.

They might as well just give us the trophy now 

 

Jokes, coincidences and superstitions aside, I have a good feeling about this World Cup

[IceCreamMan]

while it would be fantastic to see the boks win the cup, and there have been very encouraging signs in the championship this year, realistically I believe the AB's will beat the boks twice in this campaign.

 

would dearly like to see a 6 nations side do really well, particularly England, I think the best to be hoped for is a semi.

 

However, I have been wrong in the past, likely to be wrong again

Does anybody know where I can buy a junior England rugby shirt in SA?

 

Being lazy as I don't really feel like ordering  in England and getting family to DHL it over as the sizes for junior are so 'out'.

Have you tried Total Sports and Sportsman's Warehouse? I know they carry both Bok and AB jerseys in various sizes but can't recall whether they had the England one.

They deliver 2 to 4 days in RSA

Was that the express international service with a tracking service? as I was not keen on the other option which was via the PO with no tracking number.

 

Sorry I am presuming you have bought from here so apologies if not and ignore my question.

boks leaving on friday. 3 weeks before opening game seems a bit early to me, with 9 weeks in hotels before the finals.

I believe the plan is for them to get adapted to heat hence leaving that early. Hoping that this will turn out to be as smart a decision as the decision to send our 'A' team guys ahead to New Zealand prior the second round of the RC.
