Opening Saturday of the Rugby World Cup Match Threads - Lemmy.world

Yes, I’ve just plugged in for power. But I had to post this first! After last night’s thriller we get treated to some more tasty treats. And that’s a screenshot of Rugby Kick Off [https://www.rugbykickoff.com/] Home | Time (UTC+1) | Away -|-|- Italy |1230|Namibia Ireland |1430|Romania Australia |1700|Georgia England|2000|Argentina We’re going start with daily match threads for the pool stages. So do sort by new for comments All these thrilling in their own ways, but England vs Argentina you can bet is going to be a spicy physical affair tonight. France set for another sweltering day, highs of 34C in Paris, a touch cooler in the south. So expect sweat, water breaks, and and people to ask if Georgia should join the 6 nations

Eng-Arg the obvious one to watch today. I’d love Georgia to turn Australia over, but for one it isn’t going to happen, for two I can only handle the “replace Italy with Georgia” moaning once a year

I thi k it’ll probably the best indicator yet to see if Eng have been sandbagging, or have genuinely collapsed.

Hard to tell against Wales who are already in the midst of their own self-destruction, or Fiji who play a vastly different game.

Italy Namibia might be a bit tasty if the Italians are slow out of the blocks.

If England are sandbagging, every single person involved needs an Oscar. In fact, chuck in the Emmy, Grammy and Tony as well and EGOT the lot of them.

I agree, as a staunch England supporter I wish they were sandbagging…
