When rugby context and common sense are trumped

Thanks Harry… thoroughly enjoyed that read. Wet the appetite for the weekend’s clashes. Tweaked the anticipation of what’s to come. Just like an opening of a new bougie bakery in the Inner West. 👍 😊

Thanks Macca maaate… enjoyed this read.
Identities eh?!
We’ve had a few… but none have stuck of late. And when you have individual identities that are trying to gel as a team to identity it’s even harder. This RWC point in case.
Gotta say en lieu of this… those boring Bok, the ones ruining rugby with their own identity of play were totally unidentifiable, at times, when taking on the French. Like opting for a scrum having taken a mark in their own 22, a tap and go planned move when on attack, and Ches attempting a field goal from the base of the scrum ffs… all out character (identity).
Horses for courses… and that should be the Aussie Way. Surely?!?

World Cup team of the pool stage: Irish domination, minnows surprise, one Wallaby makes the cut
Thanks Harry… like your team. Especially your 1 and 7 selections! 👍
Apologies for late reply… but been busy emptying and cleaning the pool. Unfortunately my selection of key ingredients to keep it clean, usable and inviting albeit attractive failed dismally. All sorts of matter and rubbish clogged up the filters. Hence, there was no fluency/ pathway for the water, thus preventing a sparkling fluid that we like to play in, and we’ve all become accustomed to. Shame. 😔

Bonjour G… ah, hang on, I’ve got Jonkers in my ear rabbiting on about some uppercut you served-up a couple of articles ago. Wants me to go back to look at some real slow mo footage of your part in this un-sportsman like act. Ffs Jonkers… I love your Mum, too, but seriously she knows what you do and doesn’t need to see you featuring all the time in these unnecessary interruptions. She, like us, wants to watch the match!
Congrats to both Portugal… and Fiji on their historic achievements in this RWC thus far.
England beckons Fiji… and you’ll need to bring it. Better bring it. Better!
To our guys… come home boys. All is forgiven! 😢
The Wrap: Wallabies are on their way home - can they please take the TMOs with them?
😂 😂 👍

When I saw this ‘incident’ during the game… sadly Keystone Cops came to mind. 😔

Bonjour G… glad you survived the excesses of Espana.For mine the most civilised place on the planet to drink because to do so, you must eat as well.
Speaking of which are there more than Michelin starred restaurants in San Sebastian than any other city in Europe? 😊
‘Coupe de monde’… would agree with your expert assertions on this outrageous matter 👍 😂

Thanks Harry… absolute Tier One read. Encapsulates all the culture, names, guns, security, and, in some cases, long forgotten history of what old tribes seek now as new nations.
