Scunnered is the word after that match today. What a spectacular implosion

England never looked in doubt yesterday. Gonna be a tough 6n this year!

[–] Olap@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I'm glad for Wales. Gives them something for the 6n to build on

 

Good morning lemmy rugby fans! What a tasty weekend of rugby we have in store. Including the All Blacks vs England. England on 9 in a row, the ABs aiming for a grand slam tour. This one has classic written all over it!

We also have the interesting Wales vs Japan match, both struggling for form but hoping a new coach bounce makes a difference from the repeat fixture in the summer. And Scotland vs Argentina tomorrow which is crucial for world ranking positions, with both teams wanting that top pot position for the world cup.

As always, predictions, reactions, and shitposts all appreciated, and have a great weekend wherever you are :)

10 place most likely

Lol, all believable score lines

I share the concerns about the speed and necessity of changes needed. And I would love to see a club step up to European fixtures. Champ rugby in England, and the Premiership in Scotland, and D2 would all be great to see in the Challenge cup. Would love to see it!

But I cannot see it as it stands sadly, pro rugby governors aren't keen to see the clubs compete with the pros

Scotland blew that first half. Credit to them coming back into it, but even 1 try first half and that would have been a different last 10

 

Hello rugby fans. Great weekend for it today, with plenty of rugby to delight us

My pick of the day. Scotland vs NZ as I'm going! But France vs SA a pretty tasty affair too

As always, predictions, reactions and shitposts all wanted, have a great Saturday!

Ankle socks for you

Would love to see a remake from Bioware. Full voice acting, big overhauls, same story and characters and settings

 

Big match for the Scots this weekend. Can't wait for team lists!

[–] Olap@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Agreed. The Dragons haven't added to Welsh Rugby since their inception I would argue. Perrenial bottom of the table battle. Still, as a Scot, 2 teams limits pro pools and makes us rely on French and English teams paying pro wages. I'd love a third team

2028 seems overly long to me. I'd be culling next season and being more decisive. I would get someone from the SH to look at the options, write a report by the new year, and have it implemented next season

The Leinster academy will provide. I've seen it for too many years to not have faith in it now

 

Correct as of 4th of November 2025. Quite a spread! 1-5 and 6-9 showing a fairly clear grouping at this stage

 

Naming this series is hard. Went with Wikipedia's description

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_end-of-year_rugby_union_internationals

This weekend sees

  • The Baa Baas vs an AB xv
  • England vs Australia
  • SA vs Japan (in London)
  • Munster vs Argentina XV
  • Scotland vs USA
  • Ireland vs NZ (In Chicago)

All on the Saturday. So strap in and enjoy. As always, predictions, reactions and shitposts encouraged

 

Fantastic to hear. Great for Hollie and great for the game

 

Not long til we are doing international match threads again!

 

Cause Wales and France don't exist. Oh Eddie

 

Well, Wales looking already 50% better

 

This was a write off I thought. Munster having won just 1 from their last 10 meetings. What a result!
