    Big Bad Bundee is on fire at the moment.

    On his day, he's got few peers at centre.

    It’s a rugby thread to talk about Rugby. Not French people at a fan zone booing the French President. Absolutely nothing to do with Rugby, plus nobody cares.

    I don’t go into the politics section talking about how good the French team looked last night.

    It happened inside the stadium at the opening ceremony during the rugby World Cup not quite a fan zone as you describe tbh.

    anyway Ireland are flying

    It was posted along with a post from the Insider Paper https://x.com/theinsiderpaper/status/1700227490952667268?s=46&t=KKUUah2E_HLCG7X5vHDW_A

    which clearly shows it taking part throughout the Stadium during the opening ceremony not just a fan zone which I’ve pointed out. Anyway best leaving it that as it seems like your missing points to suit your own agenda whatever that may be. Now go and enjoy the Rugby.

    Can't believe they beat New Zealand. They must be in with a great chance along with Ireland.

    The booing is nothing to do with rugby. You literally posted the video of a fan zone.

    Like I said. I’m not talking rugby in the politics sections because something political happened during a rugby event.

    Use your brain.

    You only got to go back a page and see exactly what he posted. Now we must go along with the fact we are wrong and we misunderstood his intentions. You get used to the way they do it after a while. Anyway let’s get on with the rugby.

    Btw if you’re wanting a betting tip, SkyBet have us at a +11 handicap tomorrow.

    There’s absolutely no way SA beat us by more than 11.

    England are a shambles. Hands down the thickest team in rugby.

    They can’t even blame head knocks because they are the ones dishing them out.

    Looks like England have learnt to play with 14 men. Drop goal yourself out of it , it’s working so far.

    Rugby Union has almost as many stoppages as American Football nowadays. Absolute penalty fest.

    To be fair based on the form they have been in over the past couple of seasons and having home advantage it is not really an upset. Personally I expected France to win that one last night.

    He was a monster today wasn't he. Sexton looked sharp after his long injury layoff as well so that was good. Obviously we were always going to win that game but we have had plenty of stumbling wins over the likes of Romania in past World Cup group stages so to see us being so utterly ruthless was promising. Step up now for game 2 against Tonga who will be rested as its their first game in the pool.

    Sinfield seems to have the same effect on Englands defence as edwards has done on the French set up.

    14 men almost all game, not playing no mugs, previous games almost embarrassing to watch. Surely the changes in tactics borthwick employed deserve credit…? I know I’m really pushing ,my luck on here lol.

    You don’t just become World Beaters that quickly. They were there for the taking and Argentina bottled it.

    It was a total wankfest on commentary too. Acting like it was the final and they were overcoming NZ. That will be them favourites again in the media.
