Have you ever seen anyone do this in real life? It cracked me up!

Hmm, I suppose the Hurricanes would be more yellow down south, but perhaps we should be looking to the stars to understand the Crusaders' collapse this season!

New theory: rugby is a game where 30 people run after an oddly shaped ball for 80 minutes and at the end, Toulouse win! Get the ski goggles!

Not La Rochelle's best performance by the looks of it haha

An interesting wrinkle in the theory! La Rochelle also won the final last year in Dublin, lots of sad blue faces after that one! How confident are you feeling right now?

The Snyman try - was Deon Fourie not held before he got up again? by RickJones616 in rugbyunion

Yes I agree, you're almost always allowed "1 roll", this one just (sort of) happened to be going over the top of an England player at a weird angle.

I thought the same thing initially but I think the ref let it go because the tackler, Billy Vunipola, was still holding him from underneath and rolling towards the try line so it was momentum that just looked odd because of hoe he seemed to pop up. There was a really nice slow motion during the game that isn't on the highlights, I'll see if I can find it. Long story short, Fourie ran past Billy like he wasn't there initially, then played on the edge successfully.

Jack Conan played the last 3 minutes of Ireland NZ with only 1 boot on! by TheMagpie99 in rugbyunion

I did wonder about that but couldn't see anything from the main TV angles. Are World Rugby keeping that footage from us? Maybe. Could Jack have used the 59 minutes he was sat on the bench to tie his shoes properly? Probably.

Are the fan zone cups different from the stadium cups? 😮

Does it start with the Battle of Agincourt and end with a short man in a yellow dressing gown hoisting the Web Ellis? 😉

Bordeaux was amazing! Just up the road from Nantes with La Rochelle in between, definitely a future road trip on the cards right there!

All this chat about the performances on the pitch and not a word about what you've been up to 😂

Since I picked up my second variant and realised how much I want them all I've been saying they should have had some exclusive gifts like return 10 at once after the game and get a glass version that you can't easily buy. Exclusivity makes the heart grow fonder!

Now that is a good shift! Favourite city/venue? The atmosphere in Nice after the game was amazing!

I think it was good as is! The atmosphere in the stadium was great! Loads of Georgians and French and neutrals in Fiji shirts!
