Kiwis graceful losers

[Barrera]

No comments on here about the RWC and the epic England win today. Roll on the final next weekend. But just want to say how graceful the All Blacks were in defeat. Ok they got comprehensively outplayed today - but even so if we had lost not sure we would have shown the same grace. Same in the cricket WC in the summer - the Kiwis captain Kane Williamson was so graceful when by some accounts his team was robbed. Class act New Zealand - showing the way.

I wonder if the Welsh will be so gracious?

Great to see England doing well. But most of my generation never had the chance to play rugby unless you went to the Grammar school didn't play tennis either . Don't know if it's changed.

No - the English hating - miserable ****ers ( all called Jones ) will start their whinging as soon as they have lost!
Three things I dislike with an on-line website are the following:
1. Welsh f uckers whinging
2. Amazon customers who know more rights than the person who wrote them
3. The typical Mohammed types asking for the best price/discount

Baggieal as always cracks me up. Eddie Jones.. Jones lol
Don’t get me started on the welsh, when it come to the rugby and their team is playing.. the focus is always England and what digs they can take at England. Small country mentality. Go on FB and go on the page WalesOnline and you’ll see a lot of headlines to try create hatefulness towards the English it’s unbelievable. It would be just our luck they get through tomorrow and all of a sudden want to raise their game against England to spoil the party. They are all desperate for it.

I'll watch my second rugby match next weekend.

I only do finals, and even then I feel dirty like I'm cheating on football.

I find the Welsh down in Tenby delightful most of the time.

I tend to avoid the town when they play us at Rugby because the whole mentality changes.....it really winds them up when I genuinely don’t give a f u c k about the rugby result if I am there though.

A big part of their problem is drink.....they get universally p I s s e d and most can’t hold their drink and at that point the chip on their shoulder really shows up.

I hope they lose to SA in the semi because I’d rather lose to SA than Wales in a final because believe me......if we do lose a final to them we will never ever hear the end of it.

Have to say, that England performance yesterday was as good as any England team performance regardless of sport that I can remember. As for the All Blacks, there’s no team that gives me more pleasure in seeing them get beat. Why o why opposing teams have to be subjected to that stupid fu*kin dance and have it drummed in to us about how we have to respect them blah blah blah. It was high time someone showed that nondescript nation whose only talent is farming sheep and rugby where to shove their Haka. And yes, let’s hope it’s South Africa in the final.

I think you will find that the hatred spoken of only exists in football. Fans of these other sports go to the game for the occasion, unlike many that go to football.

You only have to watch these rugby games to get an understanding that players have equally the same, if not more passion, than football players but show the referee’s the upmost respect.

England had two tries disallowed yesterday, one quite controversially, but the ref with TMO, made the decision. Captain called over and the decision was explained and the game restarted. No backchatting. The best thing is, you can hear everything the ref says even if you are sitting in the stands.

The crowds are not the same as footie crowds. You can see people drinking beer etc at rugby and cricket yet there is seldom trouble. Why?

There reason is, they enjoy the sporting spectacle and do not lose site that it is just that.

England were brill at the Haka, they respected it but outstared stared the All Blacks and stood in a V shape and had to be stopped transgressing the half way line. Great response in my view.
