saw this and immediately thought of you lad
>>68434223
Just watch the E3 highlights on YouTube tomorrow. Most of it is filled with shit anyway
>>68436186
Just wait till its over. Look at the "winners of e3" articles and look up test games and shit you are looking forward to
>>68436186
E3 is a shitshow, just look at what was announced and dont get excited about any of it.

Me neither.

I like Toulon because of Samu Manoa

>>68437958

>>68438210
Turning a top tier lad sport into a commercial shit show.
>>68438067
>heavily downgraded
Sure thing buddy. It doesn't look too flashy now down grade it any further and it will look like a console game
>>68438207
That would be funny if he was, but I do not believe so.
>>68438289
I can understand your anger
>>68438291
EA will down grade it across platform
>>68438402
I dont think so. On PC all battlefield games have looked pretty stunning
I get the pessimism but I am cautiously optimistic for a BF:BC tier game again. Obviously not going to go full retard and buy it before reviews are out
>being even the slightest optimistic about E3
I love me some BF:BC(1/2), but DICE have openly talked about how they have no idea how they got that game's single player to be good.
And if anything, they have focused on only multiplayer, which I do not know how they're going to create more than just 5 maps to rotate through.
>>68438610
>>68438771
forgot to link you mate, sorry
>being 12 years old
>>68438771
What I'm trying to say is it looks like a return to form and I'm hopeful
There are a fair number of scripted bits in the trailer that look like single player things so who can tell from the outside looking in
To be fair the small number of games I have said looked good at E3 have all turned out to be great IMO. So going off my track record it's going to be good :^)
But I do agree never pre order or anything based off of E3
>>68439211
I can get on that train of thought, it should be interesting to see more about it though within the next few months.

I'd 14-0 be Wales right now XD

No him but they're a weak size, NZ rugby union is just superior to everyone else. Our club teams are good enough to take out the best in Europe
>>68450843
Agreed. He's an injury away from a callup

Nah just stop being a cunt.
Well there's still the second half. It's clear that the Chiefs are going full throttle, but when they run out of steam, their bench strength will be questionable without their key players.
Hiroshima Yamaha mon of the match.
Wales should really try a cross-field kick
>>68451039
They should try holding onto the ball and getting some phases going.
How pathetic are wales lads
Webber is the second best halfback imo must feel hard done by not to be in the squad tttt
This is just embarrassing from us

>another try with 3 mins to go
JUST
>>68451305
Posting from my phone tttt sis.
Are the Wales just passing too slow or are the Chiefs just reading the Welsh intentions too well?
Everytime the ball leaves the Welsh halfback's hands, there's a Chiefs player already in the face of the Welsh receiver. What then happens is the Welsh player either gets pinned or slowed down for the follow-up tackler to effectively bring him down
Rinse and repeat
>>68451319
Gatland literally hasn't changed his tactics since coaching the Chiefs back in 2006.
>>68451292
I think it's fair to say that the AB teams made on here with Lowe on the wing would likely be stronger than our current meme team
Is this the end of Warren Gatland?
Think I'm falling in love with beaver tttt lads
>>68451339
Who would replace him?
>>68451319
It's the way they've set their attacking lines up. The two forwards up flat is good for getting over the advantage line but shit for actually breaking the line into open space. The reason why it doesn't work with the way Wales does it is because they don't have a threat on both sides of the ruck and have no way of quickly getting it to the centres/wings/fullback.
Gatland's strategy for offence is absolute shit.
>>68451346
Obviously Shane Williams.
Full time

Won the NPC that year only dropping a game and then to the quarters in 2007. Based Richard Kahui was in champagne form those years.
just caught the last 3 minutes,i'm glad I didn't see the whole game, how ridiculous. were wales resting players or were they just playing abysmally?
>>68451440
Just didn't have the "penetrative power" they had possession for most of the second half they just couldn't get the point ball over the score line
>>68451438
Mate just seeing the name. Miss that dude holy fuck.
How would Wales fare against the EXETER Chiefs?
Seething damage control time: this Wales team is a total hodgepodge of third and second pick players with the exception of a few. Nothing like the test side will be
>>68451339
Dai Young ideally
>>68451465
>Seething damage control time
not
>we dont even care about this semen slurping sport
given Bales has 1(one) good soccer player now, you might even get away with it
>>68451440
Wales put out a second team, but it doesn't really excuse that level of shite.
Gatland at the end of a rope, when?
>>68451481
Wales literally has no fucking depth. Playing Wales B just means automatic victory.
>>68451483
I don't think you realise how little strength in depth Wales has. With a few injuries/resting players we're down to literal shit in most positions.
Reminder : A man died during the welsh training today. He's still the most well off Welshman since he didn't have to live to see that shit
>>68451502
I do but one of 5 regions with a super rugby team that is at half strength if that. Demolished the B side for your entire country
>>68451502
It's a fucking travesty mate. This is supposed to be our national sport. I grew up in Wales and the whole fucking set up is fucked up from the grassroots level. Everybody just seems to be fucking around. Compare that to here where we literally have highschol rugby on tv
>wales
>>68451530
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rugby_union_in_Wales
reading this and seeing tonights game is even more depressing
>>68451502
Mate the (arguably) second best team in the 6 nations just got spanked by the (from current standings) second best team in NZ super rugby
>>68451558
Gatlands tactics work against NH teams but the SH sides are just to fast for this shit
>>68451530
I agree with you, it is a travesty. Given the rugby we're capable of playing and the popularity of the sport in Wales it's a complete fuckery that we can be this bad as well. Every player that pulled on a Wales shirt today should be ashamed.
>>68451597
Hardly even work in the NH any more. Gatlandball is stale anti-rugby and is wasting this generation of class players. He honestly has to go after this shit.
>>68451597
>we cant play the big strong fast SHers
In all honesty this result is not what we really needed after an atrocious performance on the weekend. Hopefully our camp sees the calibre of play we expect of them and deliver it like the Chiefs did today
>>68451613
Anyone cap the "Emergency exit protocols" sign behind Gatland?
>>68451629
Not with their current tactics, no t hey can't.
>>68451613
I'm a bit tired of our current playstyle down here
>hold out until the subs start rolling on and win with our """"depth""""
It can be very nerve wrecking watching the AB'S play
I really want some fresh blood in the management camp not the remaining guys from the Sir Graham Henry camp
>>68451654

>>68451654
There is nobody this won't work against. Back in the day this shit would never work against South Africa but they're about to go to complete shit
Honestly doesn't tonight's result paint a very bad picture of professional Rugby at the moment.
>>68451708
Yes and it just shows how deep and true our depth meme is
>>68451708
International Rugby is shit. What's the point when we know we're going to win 90% of the time?
55 games under Hansen and we've lost 3 with 2 draws. I really wish everybody else wasn't so shit
The halfback is the most important position in rugby right now right?
>>68451797
What then? 1st five? A top half back raises the game of every one on his team. Webber showed it tonight the quick speed at ruck time was pretty crucial in the chiefs win.
>>68451757
it's a bit shit.
i've heard someone say that the all blacks are like the final boss of rugby. which is fine but a final boss should be able to be beaten more than 3 times out of 55.
what's the solution though?
>>68451866
South island secession tttt
Ultimately it comes down to the strength of the brand and the fact that the NZRU is far more competently run than the other unions
>>68451866
Inject more nigs into euro teams?
>>68451924
>South island secession tttt
kek then we'd just have the top 2 teams in the world instead of the top one

>>68451965
Can you imagine if we were two different countries.
North Island would have won the 87 and 2015 world cup but neither would have won in 2011
Dan Carter would be a slightly controversial character after spending most of his career playing for the blues who would be the dominant super rugby franchise.
Shag coached south island vs north Island Rennie
South island become forward pack and kicking game oriented.
North Island built off the backs and the running game.
Would definitely be interesting.
>>68452081
They used to have inter island matches back in the 80's - 90s i think they cancelled it due to the Norths dominance.
I would love to see that happen again though.
>>68452081
We really should have a North v South series or at least a match every year. I'd honestly rater watch that than the AB's play any NH team
Shall Wales play against another SR franchise on this tour?
>Welsh """"""""""""""""""""""""""""people""""""""""""""""""""""""""
AHAHAHAHAHAHA KYS ALREADY
>>68452174
I honestly don't think we will ever see an international team play a provincial/SR team every again.
>>68452250
Daily rugminder that my Basedby's beat the British and Potato Loins
>>68452276
And Munster beat the AB's. Neither side got this much of a shit kicking tough
>>68452123
Yep. Back when Auckland was as good as a test team (no exaggeration).
They resurrected it briefly in 2012 where South won tho.
>>68451853
>>68451787
Debatable. It is however the most specialised position. Look how we went in 2014 when Kerr-Barlow hyperextend his knee and Slade had to cover halfback. Momentum dropped, distribution and ball quality dropped. All Slade could do was pass the ball and hope he spun it the right way.
Did you lads know that in 1996 there was a World sevens tournament in Israel?
>>68452250
Nope lad it's happening on 2017

You could put another front rower in that position and have someone else throw lineouts. If you had to put a prop there then we would have uncontested scrums.
>>68452525
Lol that game with a C side two years ago? Scotland will win easily m8
>>68452111
There was a North Island vs South Island game last year or in 2014. South won.
>>68452570
Scotland? don't know what you're talking about m8.
Are you referring to northern England?
How come all these non independent nations have rugby teams?
>>68452613
Wouldn't laugh about England if I were you after the way they buttfucked you on the weekend

You even put your backs in to the scrums to give them a chance to get in on the standing around hugging your mates because every player on a rugby league field is literally gagging for it at all times.

IRB is to blame as well, keeping quiet about anti racial discrimination laws. n terms of By-Law 3 of the IRB rules and regulations, the IRB is compelled to prevent any form of racial discrimination in rugby. IRB Regulation 20 also stipulates that any action which may be construed as racial discrimination will be regarded as misconduct. In terms of By-Law 7, not only SARU is subject to the above; the provincial rugby unions resorting under SARU must adhere to these principles as well. In terms of By-Law 9.4(r) the IRB may institute disciplinary steps against any rugby body that violates these rules.
why i this allowed to happen? because if SA got banned from competitions it would result in loss of revenue.

Well they were actually decent in divegrass as recently as 1996 (or 1990 if you want to stretch that a bit more) and they were rugby world champs in 2003 and finalists in 2007. And from 1979 to 1992 they were (losing) finalists in the cricket WC 3 out of 4 times.
So for them the fall was more stretched out I guess.

what went wrong? He was so good at the RWC but has been becoming gradually shitter during the SR season
>>68487529
He's too young.
The ref couldn't identify what was going on in the scrum - Coles was hitting and then sucking, and refs know nothing about scrummaging. Sio didn't react appropriately and just trusted that the ref would pick Coles up on his illegal scrummaging, which is retarded.
When you're getting beaten by illegal scrummaging, you need to react appropriately, not just keep on plugging.

neither do I (t. back), which is why I asked. He has also been a liability at scrumtime for the Brumbies aswell for awhile now.
also Cheik confirmed its a 5-3 split this week with Morahan on the bench, so only one of Palu, McCalman, Mumm and Gill will feature. Fuck me sideways if it is Palu or Dean fucking Mumm
>>68487611
Holloway but he is ded
>>68487611
Pooper and McMahon are both basically mini-8's.
They are basically the same player so i'm not really sure what the logic is in starting both. Gill (fetching) or McCalman (size) would have offered something different atleast

Lowe should be in the All Blacks squad ahead of Mckenzie and Dagg. A few people did say this when the squad was announced. He would do what you expected form him and could start a test. I feels like Mckenzie has to be shielded and introduced into international rugby like a spoilt child.
Sanders, Bird amd Seu look like top quality players. Won't get in the squad this year but maybe next year, depending on how the rest of Super Rugby goes
Lienert-Brown looks like a brilliant prospect. Shame he's behind Ngatai and Tamanivalu at centre but would love him to get a shot at some point. He's a utility back that can play both centres and wings.

Good job France
>>68499355
Savea is still better than Naholo
He can at least catch passes. Naholo is a mess atm
>>68502860
Savea is fat and a revolving door. Rather give the opposition a scrum, rather than a try. You can improve your hands, but when you've been told to lose weight since the beginning of 2015 and have dropped form consistently since, you deserve to be out.
Naholo is a much greater talent even at this stage he might be a worse player, anyway
>New Zealand are unironically going to miss the U20 semis
>>68502976
>I didn't see Naholo give away 10 points last weekend
Considering how Savea can go like the clappers for 40 mins then come off at half time he is a better pick than Naholo on defence and attack right now. Savea is still quick (slower than Naholo atm but thats not slow) he just can't keep it up for an entire game.
I don't disagree than Naholo could be a better player but right now he isn't. His dropped passes lead to a try and a penalty on the weekend and gave the Welsh a larger advantage than slower Savea
>>68503303
Last week Naholo looked nervous against a surprisingly good Wales team.. Savea looked lazy
>>68503448
I don't disagree with that. What I'm saying is that Naholo was literally 1/3 of our handling errors and is a liability. His points scored equal his points let in. Savea on the other hand is positive in that sense.
One player being one third of our handling errors. That inexcusable in professional play tttt
>>68503303
He was shit in the first half. It wasn't just his fitness in the first, he was actually bad.
>>68504535
Savea hardly touched the ball and hardly had to defend. Pretty much all the play was on the other side of the field. Any wing is going to look lazy in that situation.
Naholo was legitimately a mess failing at one of the first things you are taught which is holding onto the ball. If he didn't finish those 2 tries I have no doubt he would have been dropped. He was a liability in the last game.
Was Tommy Bowe a world class wing?

>>68512900
It was a surprisingly onesided game points wise (pic related). I think the standings at the time were similar to now with highlanders at 1 and reds ~13 so it was expected for the highlanders to win.
In all honesty I can't remember that game to well but it looks like after half time the highlanders came back strongly reds supporters would have been on the edge of their seats hoping they could hold on

Why is Dagg so likeable lads?
>>68516825
- All round GC: plays for Chch (via Otago) but is actually from the 'Bay, thus making him elite.
- Young: was dropped from the AB's and has bounced back. Will likely be an outlier in world rugby as a player who won two world cups with one he sat out in between.
- Has a wife that looks pretty, but could also be the girl next door, thus giving hope to /rug/ neet's nation-wide.
- Gives credit where credit is due: he always looks after his Lindisfarne old boys and celebrates their NPC debuts with them.
- Can beat Julian Savea at PS4, whom is a well known gamer, thus making Issey based AF.
Rooms with Smugkenzie and calls him Big Jim, which I can only assume is a reference to Damien's enormous organ.
This makes Issey a GC as not many people would know the size of the manlets penis, so he's effectively winging for him over social media, thus allowing Smugkenzie to get laid all over the planet - Nice one Issey.
