Rugby World Cup general discussion

@Bones Seemingly intent on playing for New Zealand...
Strange, I thought I'd looked him up earlier in the year and seen he'd recently played for Fiji, but I can't see anything of the sort now.
He'd definitely be able to replicate the kind of world cup NMS had...

Los Teros jersey for the RWC. The home jersey will likely be used just once ( v the All Blacks) to avoid colour clash.
@Daffy-Jaffy yeah I can see how that shade of blue might clash with our silver jerseys.

Oh no that would be really horrible for such a gracious and humble character.

On the downside, if he does miss the RWC, we'll miss some classic anti-Sexton jibes...

While the maximum punishment for such an offense could extend up to five years, it is believed to be improbable in this case.
Five years would be hilarious.

@Billy-Tell fuck imagine the meltdown. Stringer would finally take off.

Lots of presumably Irish people on FB trying to downplay his actions and blame Peyper for being shit. But you know you have overstepped when they are saying he was nowhere near as bad as Rassie

It doesn't really matter who the player is or if the Ref is shit. Players & coaches who carry on like this need a good kicking. I'd have some sympathy if Sexton had apologised - heat of the moment and all that - but if he has, I've missed it.

Everyone that gets too big for their boots eventually steps over the mark and gets )some of) what's coming.
This may be Sexton's moment.
I think he'll get a firmish slap on the wrist and be playing his warmups at the RWC though. -
@Crucial what would be best is if they banned him for whatever number of weeks it would be for him to be free to play in the RWC final...
But we know it wont be anything too bad for the poor fella.

We also don't want to have to hear Irish whinging for ever and a day over how they would have won the Cup if not for persecution of Sexton.
This would inevitably come after their customary quarterfinal departure. -
