Perennial World Cup underdogs Namibia qualify for France 2023

The ONLY reason Ireland lost was because of the cruel draw which had them playing Scotland so shortly before the QF, while the AB’s had so mucĥ time that they could afford to go to the Seychelles for a week of R’nR and return to France playing against the oh so unfairly treated Irish!

And, please, don’t get me started on Ioane! Why, his actions post-game were surely more than enough reason for World Rugby to overturn the result and award the game to Ireland. No sane person can argue against that.

Now I know some of you think that this may be a bit farfetched but surely you must agree that turdflow has tirelessly educated us on these indisputable facts, since just after the final whistle on that Dark Day in France!

I, for one, thank him most sincerely for opening my eyes to the injustices done to not just the Irish team but to the Irish nation as a whole (and Andy Farrell, even if he’s a pom) and for the way that NZ and SA run World Rugby like their own little cabal! Shameful! Shameful, I say!

Believe it when I see it.

Interesting the idea of Fin Smith playing at 12 at some point. Would be cool to see how that goes, doesn't sound utterly ridiculous.

Lastly a stat i’d love to see is tries per line break in a match. Toulouse were above the 50% against Leicester. France are not far off that this year barring the outlier England match. What France/Toulouse are doing after a line break now ti achieve such a high conversion rate bears more looking at.

I can’t say much about the URC and Top14, but from the Premiership, I'd say Bath, Bristol, Northampton, Harlequins and Saracens would do well in super rugby, so that’s 5 teams from England alone and none of them play the dull, kick n clap rugby that I think Phipps associates with English club rugby.
