The World Cup starts today!! Japan vs Russia is a one-side affair but will be still be entertaining nonetheless.

Just said on the telly that Russia lost to jersey in a warm up match
Re: Non-England World cup thread 2019
Not as one sided as expected. Russian fitness seems the main issue.
I'm not cynical just experienced
Re: Non-England World cup thread 2019
Thought the Russian No7 and Wings looked pretty handy
Re: Non-England World cup thread 2019
Yes the Russian No7 is very highly rated by Squidge Rugby, but he worships Alun Wyn Jones so take that for what you will.

Russia really are only there by default.
After spain, Portugal and Romania fielded ineligible players they were kicked out..... I do wonder if this should happen to sarries if they are found hilltop have played over the odds????

Big difference World Rugby were kicking out Tier 2 minnows, not Premiership Rugby trying to kick out the European Champions Saracens.

Disgusting officiation that lead to Aussie victory, World Rugby would rather maintain the status quo than maintain the laws.

Early signs are that Argentina may have found their scrummaging legs. Certainly holding their own against France
Re: Non-England World cup thread 2019
French backs starting to purr outside their young half backs
Re: Non-England World cup thread 2019
France quite lucky, but refereeing was poor for both sides.
