tim payne dirty player

[songokukingdomhearts]

someone explain to me all the rules of when a player is tackled and he's on the floor with the ball (what can and can't do?)

[chaser00ni]

@songokukingdomhearts he cannot try and roll over to his side and drop the ball to them, whchever side he faces he must drop, he cannot hold the ball, and obivously no punching or hitting otehrs to get the ball free.  i dont remember if theres more but thats all i can think of at the moment

[gazCROSSHAIR00]

try nations are literaly bred for rugby england is not and still we hold our own thats what makes us a strong team.

[gazCROSSHAIR00]

the only good teams in rugby are australia england newzeland and southafrica nobody bothers to watch the rest LOL

[amasonga]

@gazCROSSHAIR00 The best teams in the world of rugby are the Tri-Nations. New Zealand, South Africa and Australia.

[gazCROSSHAIR00]

@amasonga thats true all three of thes teams are amazing and they are definatly some of the big boys of the rugby world but england are no slouches when it comes to rugby

[amasonga]

@gazCROSSHAIR00 Yes, England has very good technicality. They play smart with good strategies. However with the Tri-Nations, it's pure raw talent, it's natural. If you have grown in a rugby culture, you'll see that there's a great difference between the Super 14 and the rugby played at club level in England or anywhere else.

[gazCROSSHAIR00]

@amasonga i dont care about try nation all i care about is the world cup wich we won in 2003 and have been in finals in 07 we are sure to win in the neer future and to me thats what makes england up ther with the best of them.

[amasonga]

@gazCROSSHAIR00 Well be a good fan of your team, nothing wrong with that! However good rugby is not common!

[gazCROSSHAIR00]

@amasonga anyway i see you are from usa thats strange to see an american take an intrest in rugby an ya seem to know a lot about it. what team do ya support?

[rudolfmanu]

@gazCROSSHAIR00 ignorance is bliss

[gazCROSSHAIR00]

@rudolfmanu erm..is it?

[thegurutrader]

yea, another typical win over a shitty team

[TRexSam]

@thegurutrader Another typical win over a shitty team? I hate to refer to you that England had over 20 injuries that autumn. So NZ were playing a team with multiple players that had just been thrown into the mix. Not a fair test of England's true ability I feel.

[thegurutrader]

@TRexSam Englands true ability is that of a kindergarten team. I haven't seen any quality players to emerge from England in 23 years. Given the IRB is run by poncy gits, even they have to admit if they ever rate a player a teeny bit, it's blatently biased.

[TRexSam]

@thegurutrader No quality players in 23 years? Martin Johnson, Lawrence Dallaglio, Jason Robinson, Jeremy Guscott. Just to name a few.

[thegurutrader]

@TRexSam like i said, no quality players. Im not talking about quality in english terms, im talking world standards.

[OMCZ123]

@thegurutrader two if not three of those guys would make any world fifteen of all time unlike howlett spencer rockococko these are of lasting class yeah?

[OMCZ123]

@thegurutrader really not one? wow that must be accurate considering in that time we have won the world cupthe same amount of times as new zealand and got to more finals also beating new zealand enough times along the way. but a non biased intelligent statement you just made well done

[wellingtonian2009]

@OMCZ123 England has played NZ 3 times in a world cup and have lost all 3 games and NZ has won the under 20's world cup almost every year, Lions series 3-nill, grand slam of Britain and Ireland, 7's, and the rugby league world cup which is more than England has ever achieved. Not bad for a country of only 4 million people compared to a country with a population of more than 60 million with the most rugby players in the world.

[cchallenger3985]

@thegurutrader England won the trophy in 2003 and made 3 finals ,that's not bad for a so called shitty team !!! and New zealand won one world cup only 23 years ago !!! in rugby league England is as strong as new zealand and even stronger I would say , just behind the aussies !!!!

[tefakanava]
