RUGBY WORLD CUP

Italy v Namibia - big gap in performance and level but after Namibia taking the first score
Italy blast ahead and put up 52 points.
Final score 52 - 8

Ireland just finished 82 - 8 against Romania. Again like the Italy game Romania took the
first score with and try. Irelands first half performance was touch and go with a lot of frustrating
handling errors. Performance was mixed and Romania put in some serious tackling.

Up next is England v Argentina, really looking forward to this, I think Argentina have a
really strong chance to win this. ^{I have to travel 130 miles to get home for the start of this}

In the NRL, the Broncos had an emphatic win over the Storm (on a rain soaked Lang Park field) one broken neck and two concussions have all but wiped out the Storm for this season with the ABC commentators reluctantly conceding their players are unlikely to win their next game (regardless of who they slated to play).

*Edit* I don't know why, but I thought the Australia Vs Georgia game was on after the Roosters scraped in with a win 12 - 13 against the Sharks (who are now out of the finals)

League NRL

72" field goal seals the win for the Roosters: 12 - 13

Cant believe the Storm failed to score in a final??? Whats the deal with the broken neck?
I cant find anything about that.

Well done France (mutter, mutter there goes one of my two teams).

I just heard on the radio that both teams scored two tries but France had more penalty goals awarded to them.

Tomorrow, Australia and Georgia faceoff and Im hoping to see that game.

Instead, at 11 p.m. (barely fifteen minutes ago) the France Vs New Zealand game is on (delayed telecast I'm guessing).

I've got to admit I miss the "old" Haka instead of the New! Improved! Haka that nobody in New Zealand i know can chant along with.

90 seconds in NZ scored then France got a penalty...

Plus there is a LOT of cheering and booing that you don't get here or in New Zealand.

I'll watch this game, but I don't think I'll be up at two a.m. for the live game.

The odds for France went to 2.35 after they went behind early in the second half but their
play was definitely in a different gear and when Penaud went over the tey line on the 55th
minute I felt the tide had changed, and so it had winning 27 - 13.

This is the first pool game New Zealand have lost ever! that game was a big statement
from France after being under pressure in the first half to coming out in the second with
a brilliant response.

What a win for France!

I only see the first minutes of the game, and New Zealand started the game with a fast trie and it was a magnificent one, so i thinked its gonna be a hard and long day for France national team. I shut down the tv and when i check the result i see France win by a good margin, i dont know what happen on the game, but great win for them.

Channel 9 is showing the Australia Vs Georgia game on Sunday, but I haven't been able to check on the other games.

snip

I am lucky to be able to watch the British TV channel ITV1 where almost all games will
be televised, some on ITV4 but I think I will be also able to tune that in too.

While tomorrow is the opening game but Saturday has a very important game scheduled,
England v Argentina because England are weakened and Argentina will see a real chance
of winning and making the first step in securing a top pool spot.

Of course Ireland and Australia are in action and are expected to win their games.

1 gane from each pool will be played.

Not sure Melbourne can get the job done against Brisbane. If the Auckland beat Penrith it'll be yet another boil over, the Sharks might fumble, but I'm going to back them anyway. And the last game of this round I'm leaning towards the Knights who have had an impressive winning streak in the latter half of the regular season.

Both Brisbane and the Panthers fielded under-strength teams last round (effectively the Broncos threw the game - loosing the minor premiership in the process) - neither team deserve to win, but I'm backing them as the stronger teams on the day.

Well we will see what team NZ are about in this opening game on Friday, it has all the
ingredients to be an absolute cracker of a game!

League Australian NRL

So from the last round last week the Panthers got top spot and I think it was the Roosters
who kept the Rabbitohs out of the top 8 and managed to get in themselves, I could be wrong.

So finals week 1 of 4 this weekend and its 2nd v 3rd Broncos v Storm, I'm going with
the Broncos, a rematch of last weeks fixture and revenge time for the Broncos . . . hopefully

1st v 4th Panthers v Warriors, Its going to be the Panthers

6th v 7th Sharks v Roosters, IDK I'm not betting on that, it will probably be the Sharks

5th v 8th Knights v Raiders, only based on ladder position I will back the Knights.

I'm going with my initial pics of Ireland and France but I really think South Africa will
be in the mix too but I dont know who to substitute ^{Ireland or France} in order
to include SA. Anyway I will stay with my 2 pics.

@darxiaomi - you can bet on 1 team instead of 2! ^{no pressure though} anyway its
great that the times work out, they will be evening games here on the Northern Hemisphere
but at times where you guys can watch but not at silly times.

Yes, Ireland has had some good wins recently (IIRC) as have Argentina, so it's going to make for some thrilling clashes against some of the powerhouses e.g. NZ and France to name a couple.

The New Zealand national competitions wrapped up a few weeks ago, so the team selectors have numerous players to choose from who have honed their game play over a full season.

Rugby peeps. I'm popping in to ask why the All Blacks aren't the overwhelming favourite in the opener against France Don't watch rugby but you know this team is supreme even as an outsider. Yes, they have had horrible losses, yes their last game was shite, and yes I read the news claiming this is the weakest side yet.

But in football, we say teams with experience are "royalty" of competitions and no matter their form, they are always favourites when facing teams who haven't won a comp (France, in this case).

So my question, distilled: France or NZ?

What the hell are you doing here?. Are you follow me? What are you intentions? You want to be destroyed again in other sports Tongue

?. Just joking, nice to see you here, i dont come so often here but here is where i come to cry when i lose on BSFL. (Milhouse meme).

Well guys i dont think im gonna risk any money in this betting only to the champion.

Yes I agree with Timelord, for this I think its nicer to keep it simple, all wagers go into a "pot"
and the winner(s) take/split it!

I cannot access any of my local TV stations without paying a subscription but I
have learned that the UK channel ITV will be showing all the games, AFAIK I can access
the ITV channel's through my SKY box without subscription, i'll check that tomorrow.

Timelord and darxiaomi will you be able to watch some games eventhough they will be
early morning times?

Yes, for me its in "normal" houts the more early game of group phase its gonna be against Japan, and its at 8.00 AM, the other ones are at 10 AM 12AM and 16 PM. So yes.

Ah b - a very interesting question, one which doesnt have a one word answer....

France have been building up to this WC and have really improved as a TEAM, they have
fantastic players but their weakness could be playing at home. If things dont go according
to plan their supporters can give them a hard time, so there is massive pressure there.

You are right about NZ, they are not the team they were and dont have the same quality
of players in some positions as they once had.

Personally I'll go with France, they will have to make a big statement with this opening game...

As regards royalty.....South Africa are entitled to that royalty tag too in terms of WC's won.

Welcome to the board b, will you be watching some games?

Hey Timelord, I see you changed the thread title, you might want to include "RUGBY WORLD CUP"
maybe others will get involved when they see that included....IDK

Quote from: darxiaomi on September 01, 2023, 05:39:51 PM

Argentina its more favourite to win the World Cup than Scotland and Wales?, its this correct? Im not following so much so maybe im wrong, but one of that teams are in a very good run?

Asides of that Argentinian odds are low and high at the same time, anyways the odds are good on some teams like NZ and France.

And you dont have to make a bet on Argentina because its your team, you can go with NZ
and France too!!

Yea its interesting to see Argentina favoured ahead of both Scotland and Wales and
Argentina are definitely progressing but it will take a few years for them to be contenders
for a big title. Playing Australia, South Africa and New Sealand regularly will definitely help.

Anyway I like Argentinian Rugby so I hope they do well.

That sounds good Timelord, I'll be going with 2 teams: Ireland and France!

I see betting is suspended on Ireland - hopefully they don't get trounced in their first game.

Traditionally we under achieve in the WC I have a feeling this year it will be different,
we have the potential to win the title and our first game against Romania should go
ok for us. Ireland are currently 1.002 v 17.0 !
