As the #Rugby Worlds get closer, it's hard not to see #SouthAfrica, #Ireland and #France as the three dominant forces at the very moment.
#NewZealand got a bad bruising from the Springboks as of late, but still should be better than the likes of #Argentina, #Australia or #Scotland.
#Wales and #England are in for a tough tournament indeed, I expect #Fiji to be better than both of them.

Anyone cares to disagree? Glad to discuss!

So #England went into the #rugby test match against #Ireland encouraged by the "unfair" treatment of their captain #OwenFarrell.
And guess what? They finished another game beaten and down in numbers after a high hit yet again, this time courtesy of #BillyVunipola.
Maybe their unwillingness to see the fault in their captain's action(s) leads to repeating that very fault?
Properly bad record for England for sure, heading into September's #RugbyWorlds: 5 to 20 tries in 5 games, and too many reds.

I have just watched several replays of #Vahaamahina's assault on #Wales' player of the match #AaronWainwright, and I'm equally disgusted by this fully intentional and coward attack to the head of an opponent as I'm in deep respect for Wainwright to stay on his feet and finish the game. If it were up to me, Vahaamahina would be out for solid number of games and kept out of #Rugby for at least half a year. Sickening to say the least. Let the fucker brawl in bars instead. #RugbyWorlds

According to latest news #France's #Vahaamahina has to attend a hearing before an independent Judicial Committee. I sincerely hope there will be severe consequences for this kind of #foulplay and straight-out #violence that has nothing lost in #Rugby. Still hardly can't believe how a professional can act like this. #RugbyWorlds .https://www.rugbyworldcup.com/news/521949

Quoting southafrican.com here: «a shocking piece of ill-discipline from lock Sebastien Vahaamahina» - that or a fully intentional assault against the head of an opponent. Seriously wrong, a red card cannot be the end of the story here. #RugbyWorlds #France #Wales

Wow, just got to see the *highlight of the third quarterfinal today. That elbow from Vahaamahina was an assault. #France fully deserves to be eliminated from the #RugbyWorlds after such a blatant display of rotten sportsmanship from one of its players. Seriously, Vahaamahina should be suspended for a while for his reckless foul. this is against the ethics of #Rugby.

Missed the match between #Scotland and #Japan at the #RugbyWorlds. Great to see that the fairy tale of the brave #cherryblossoms goes on. How far will it take them with this enthusiast crowd supporting the team?

FFS stop discussing and engaging in silly provocative acts, #Wales. This is #rugby and not bloody #football. #Fiji looking to be on a roll, coming out of the half-time break swinging. #RugbyWorlds

Cho sugoi! Great to see #Japan push the scrum and the ball into the zone against a #Samoa that has the upper hand physically. This might well have been the decisive moment of this match at the #RugbyWorlds. The brave cherryblossoms seem to be on a roll.

Not sure if that was a display of #frustration or bad #sportsmanship, but #Italy showed some stuff you don't want to see in #Rugby during the defeat against #SouthAfrica - dangerous fouls and silly provocations. Props to the #Springboks for not beating up those fuckers but only serving them a crushing defeat. #RugbyWorlds

Did #Japan just beat worldranking's number 1 #Ireland at the #RugbyWorlds? Must find a replay of that match, I bet the home crowd went utterly nuts. The brave cherryblossoms are on a roll! #Rugby
