Men's Rugby WR World Cup 2019

I live in Dublin since the beggining of September and I hear a lot of people discussing about the match against Japan. I can tell you that the disppointment is big here...nobody expected this.

Interesting results today.

  hammers   33-7

beats 29-25

 

At a first glance Wales win is a shock but Australia I think has one of their worst times in union rugby. This makes vs a match that everyone awaits unpatiently.

[Thagard 84]

No matches today.

 

Yesterday, Group A:  - 34-0

 

Samoa is the first team not to score any points in a Rugby World Cup match since USA-South Africa 0-64 (7.October.2015) and I put my prediction on Samoa in our contest.

Italy-New Zealand was cancelled too

A draw against New Zealand, it's the best result ever for Italian rugby!

What a cluserfuck.

 

Either contengy plans should have been made mandatory for every games by WR/IRB, or the World Bup should not have been awarded to Japan.

 

Here, they flipped a coin, hoping for the best...

tbh, I don't know why they didn't use a few of the many "dome" (indoor) stadiums they have in Japan to avoid a situation like this...

 

I mean, they should have had at least a plan B...it's well known that the end of september/beginning of October is typhoon time in that area...

 

and if a match between ITA and NZL can be considered useless (even if actually ITA still had an unrealistic mathematical/theoretical chance to qualify), FRA vs ENG must be played no matter how, otherwise we can say already from now that we have a farce of a tournament, with 2 teams that could have changed completely the knockout stage table draw depending on the outcome of their direct match-up and now they also have a really tough game less in their legs and more recovery time than their opponents, who already played all of their preliminary stage matches...
