From 1987 to Today: The Complete Story of the Rugby World Cup 

This happened in 2015 as well. Aus, Wales and England were 2, 3 and 4 in the world and in the same group. There was some murmuring at the time but possibly because it was England who lost out then the combination of 'lolAnyonebutEngland hosted and lost' and 'Whinging poms just want excuses' not enough fuss was made, the problem wasn't dealt with as if it wasn't just as likely to happen to anyone else. Of course the irony is that this time England are now the ones benefitting from a ludicrously beneficial draw in a tournament where by rights they should be struggling to make the knockout stage. Scotland deserve a great run this time IMO. Big strides forward. Georgia doing well would be good as well. Crossing fingers for Ireland win, but think France and South Africa have the advantage due to host/history of winning dynamics.

It’s mental how hard the IRFB have tried to sabotage rugby over its history

Les Français ont souvent de bonnes idées, dommage qu'ils se fassent sucrer des finales de cdm...

Glad you liked it!

Thank you, glad you liked it!!

Thanks mate!

I bet they will sellout just like the soccer did which isn't a major sport in the US they wouldn't have it there if they couldnt sellout the stadiums

@@Trajan2401 Agree I mean the game at Soldier Field Chicago when the ABs played USA was pretty much sold out

@@mitchand9 yes both times the ABs have played at Soldier field they've sold out

4

Thanks for the feedback, I’ll keep that in mind 🙂

Jonah Lomu he was the greatest in that era

@@MeanAzz_13 you Betcha

At least Scotland have made it past the QF stage. It may have been 32 years ago, but they've still done it. Can Ireland say the same?

@@St_AngusYoung no they can’t. Your point? As the phrase goes “what have you done for me lately?”

Yeah you beat us but not when it matters. No point in winning if you can't win when you need to🤣🤣

Actually a fair amount of folks expect Scotland to punch above their weight or at least do well and make it a tight pool. Some even back them to see off SA and/or Ireland.

@@karlosdeevs I doubt they will even come close to beating either as can be seen in the recent warm up games

@@manofvalour6982 that‘s my point, as the WC warm-ups draw to a close Scotland look in the best form of all. They bettered France who are arguably the best among the top 4 and have timed their run probz better then anyone.. they have all the right cards to beat any of the rest.

@@karlosdeevs It wasn't Frances full strength team and also bear in mind this is warm up and alot of coaches are experimenting but also alot of players want to prove themselves ahead of the WC. Without a doubt Scotalnd is a formidable force and are a threat to Ireland and SA and to whoever they may face in the QF(which is unlikely but not impossible). Ireland have peaked to early and I don't think they will break their curse of bombing our at or before the QF( my humble opinion). This is what makes social media great is that we can argue all we want and have different opinions but it all cone down to who ever dominates on the day. Eg: in 2019 you didn't honestly think SA was going to topple England and neither did I but look what happened?

Thanks for letting me know. Must have made a slight error in my research looks like it’s more around 6-8th 🙂

its 2nd or 3rd in the world by serious fanbase & competitive countries playing professionally. there's no reason to take viewers flicking through tv stations as the absolute ranking criteria. average & absolute attendance is higher in the last rugby world cup for example.

2nd or 3rd in terms of team sport competitions*

No one cares about womans sports you talk BS you watch the rugby world cup in a month it will get far bigger crowds and far more views than any of the fifa womans world cup games and the All Blacks just played a friendly against Australia in Australia and got 84000 more views and a bigger attendance than any of these fifa womans world cup games

Glad you liked it!
