  • Amateur boxing is about avoiding being hit and landing scoring hits yourself rather that knocking the shit out of each other. More about the 'technical' aspect of the sport, as I understand it. Bit li

    Needless to say, you had the last laugh.

  • If you don't like it, don't watch it and you aren't compelled to comment on it. Simple enough.   If it's so meaningless to you why waste typing energy?   I will watch much of it and wouldn't cross

play suspended after 40 minutes? what's gone on?

Watching in pub.

 

30 fit tough men. It's tough and fast.

 

Could be so much more entertaining if they lost 4 of them.

4 from each side?

 

 

And the shape of the ball?

Flicking between this and the World Cup Of Pool, this is winning, njust

 

Swing low..........................

Nice to see them all giving 100% here, especially as all the Welshists are going off injured

kinell, we can't even beat wales

Should have kicked to level up with 2 minutes to play, fuck knows why we didn't.

Shit shite bollocks decision to go for the try

Terrible sport, Fooking hoof ball pile on.

Enjoyed that for nothing more than the brutality.

 

But come on.

 

It's like having a Ferrari on the pitch and putting a lawnmower engine in it.

 

Nigh on 60 points and two tries. No excuse when there are good for capable athletic people on the pitch. England even almost managed to fuck up a 3 on 2 overlap. Basic rugby continually executed like pub players.

 

Met as well play chess.

Credit to the Welsh but how the fuck did we lose that?

I watched it,,exciting I guess if you like that kind of thing. Bit like basketball, you have a shot, we have a shot.

Indiscipline continually undermines England, they seem incapable of learning from their mistakes.

25-18 and Wales have 3 taken off injured with about 10 minutes left.

 

That is right up there with the all time England bottle jobs.

Playing a rucking and kicking game undermines England, got away with it once without beating the All Blacks, try passing the ball and scoring a try, just saying like....

We won the World Cup playing a traditional forwards stick it up your jersey game and should carry on doing so. If you want folk flinging the ball about watch 7's. Or League.

Just watched the highlights from the England game and I'll stick with your recommendation. I saw better handling skills watching my lad's U7's RL game this morning.

Oh you've got it wrong, RU is a very technical game that us mere mortals don't understand. Nowt to do with passing the ball... and before anyone says if you don't like it don't comment on it, fair enough but stop coming on the rugby league thread telling us how shit it is.....

It could be so good.

 

If they could pass and catch.

In fact.

 

Fuck it.

 

I laughed when Wales won. All those ones a year rugger wankers....Fuck em.

Not sure why RL afficionados continue to post on this thread. For such a shit game they seem to be giving it a hell of a lot of attention.

 

One bad decision fucked England there. Hopefully, we'll stuff the Aussie wankers.

Serious questions - do the players know the rules? And what is the reason that it takes almost a minute to get the ball back in play every time it goes dead, there's a penalty etc?

 

They worked out that during the last six nations the ball was in play for 43% of the competition. In whose interests is that? It's 78% in super league. Why don't they want to just fucking get on with it?

Serious question in return. Why do you care?

 

Clearly millions enjoy the game and you don't. Can't we all just accept that and get on with it?

 

I hate golf so would never watch it or pass comment on it.

So you don't know then. OK.

 

Due to frustration really. It's half watchable when it's all happening, which is why occasionally I'll flick over and watch 90 seconds or so of it before clodding the remote at the telly. But more than half the time (statistically proven) they are stood about. Why? And why do its supporters stand for it? Could it possibly be because they don't care a shite what happens on the field so long as they get a nice day out?

When I have a glance at my mam's Daily Mail, you get about four or more full pages on RU, your are lucky to get half a column inch on RL.
