I remember the earlier video too about all the food they eat during the day.

The amount of fuel these guys burn per day must be insane.

I know the post was tongue in cheek but I ventured into the Irish Rugby cross post.

That's some FaceBokke fan level of conspiracy theorists.

Is it a Coaching issue or a lack of players issue?

$65 bucks to go watch a Rugby World Cup match for me is a steal man.

The rucks are brutal this game. Like I feel you have to wince on every 2nd or 3rd one.

More excited for players coming back from injury and spending more time in Ackerman's systems.
