I say South Africa is in for a rough time with Ireland and Scotland in their Group for the 2023 World Cup :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Well done Ireland.That’s a fantastic win .:slight_smile:

SA beating Scotland not so much of a surprise.

@Psmith , l believe the all blacks have not beaten Ireland at home for the last
two occasions Smitty ??
But the way they did it this time was surprising !!

Great win that… The southern hemisphere getting hard games from us northerners, all good for the game.

France still to play All Blacks could be another cracker.

Even our fine ladies are beating their Southern counterparts

The Welsh ladies also beat South Africa with ease too

Never were interested in women Rugby… But I have found myself enjoying, appreciating the skill and fitness and determination levels they show when playing the game

Don’t like Women Boxing, don’t think I ever will

I’d say it was good viewing but there’s work needed all round

@marciniak England ladies 51: Canada ladies 12
The game was not as easy as the score suggests ,
NEngland lagged most for most of the first half, but their fitness and
enthusiasm told in the second half !!
I’ve heard of the British bulldog, but we have got two or three British
Bulldozers playing for us !!:grin::grin:

I think France could be the team to beat, they’re playing some great running rugby, and with new defence coach Shaun Edwards working his magic, they are a vastly improved team with some of the best running players in the world.

Scotland too are an improved team playing good rugby… They’re playing a quick off load passing game, with players seeming to adapt better to this approach each game

England got the players to be world Champions, but for me they never pick them

Ireland…are Ireland big hearts who don’t care or fear who they play and have proven they can beat anyone many times

I’m their Group or the entire World Cup?

Group and the knock out games.

France have been re-building trying to produce the running style of Rugby they were once famed for…And they seem to be getting there, and hopefully they could peak at the time of the World Cup

All that imported Kiwi coaching skill starting to pay dividends :wink: :rofl:
