That's not how i expected him to get injured.

They are in serious trouble if its a significant break.

I agree with what you're saying, but I'm making the point that Joe picked the same team and it was entirely predictable. Farrell's team is also predictable, but he's not getting the same flak.

Farrell has 27 wins form 29. Schmidt had nowhere near that win ratio going into the 2019 world cup

Didn’t Sexton recover from his at the start of the year after a month? Wouldn’t be surprised to see DuPont with a face mask. Give him the next game off and reasses. Obviously depending on how bad it is

Time they fucked off with the weaker nations. Dragging the ass out of this tournament. Like tonight’s win for France, that’s embarrassing for a World Cup.

It’s an awful watch at times Rugby

It'll just be a glorified tour then. There aren't that many serious rugby nations unfortunately.

And while there are a few bore fests the quality of the group games in rugby on average is still a million times better than the state of the FIFA WC which is mostly only worth watching from the QFs on at best

can't agree here - Argentina won the world cup but saudi arabia beat them in the group. could namibia beat france in a rugby match? absolutely not.

i understand rugby devotees might enjoy seeing lots of tries being run in but i find these mismatches tedious to the point of unwatchable.

French Press Release: Antoine Dupont has suffered maxillo-zygomatic fractures and will continue to be assessed over the next 48 hours. He will remain with the squad.

Seeing some French and France based journos saying that this fracture has a 4 to 6 week recovery time ...

Well, feck that, Ntamack and now Dupont, they’ll have to do it the hard way now.
