NadaTeTurbe Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Any rugby fan here ? Are you going to watch it ? You're sure to find me on my TV for England-Fidji. And I have 0% of hope for France to win... well, to win something. We're so bad. Urg. But I'm going to watch France-Italy of course ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKolbe Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 We mostly have carpet, but we could use a good throw rug... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anomaly Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 We were invited to watch rugby at a local pub where we've befriended the manager. It may be too crazy and we don't know the rules. We were all shocked the way the UK sports commentators refer to the Fiji players as "blacks" and making a big deal of that. They would be sacked within hours in the US for comments like that.

I think you may well have misunderstood what was being said here The All Blacks ( named for their playing kit ) are the famous New Zealand rugby team ......and some of the players hail from Fiji originally, before joining the team The commentary was about that, nothing more Rugby is a national sport in both Fiji and NZ.........hence the good natured team rivalry, and interest in who plays for what team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anomaly Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 35-11 England. Fast paced game compared to US FOOTBALL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NadaTeTurbe Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 The english win. As a French, I can't be happy about it, but hey, nice play. i've never understood US football. There's always a part of the game where I get lost. The most important in rugby is the third half-time ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Japan beat the Springboks. Crazy! I follow rugby a little bit. I like the NZ all-blacks some but I get behind the USA for tournaments like this, even though they aren't very good. As far as Gridiron goes, It's a good game. Is it slower than rugby yes, but the strategies, play calling and such and such make it interesting. Especially on the college level. American Football does resemble Rugby League a little bit if you are familiar with that. They both have a tackles/downs system before a turnover.

NadaTeTurbe Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 ON A GAGNE, ON A GAGNE, ON A GAGNEEEEEEEEEE ! Yes, France winned against Italy. I'm super proud of us. My friends and I celebrated it, of course. There was a few headache on the morgnin... And yes, the whole Japan/South Africa was unexpected, but they deserved it. As said JK Rowling "it can happen in quiddich, but in real life ?"Today, the All blacks-Argentina was painful to watch. The all blacks had a hard time. Not their best match.On a gagné, on a gagné, on a gagné... ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
