Who /pro12/ here?

Really looking forward to Connacht-Treviso this weekend. November Internationals were too exciting anyway.

How do I learn what all the positions mean/do? 15 is too many.

>>72827146
Prop-fat, smelly manlets
Hooker-slightly less fat smelly manlet
Lock-angry shouty manmore
Blindside-Muscular, hard hitting and elite
Openside-strong, fast footballer and turnover specialist
8-big ball carrying plum
9-shouty turbo manlet
10-likes to throw and catch the rugby ball
Wingers-gay. Spend all game waiting for their chance to run down the touchline with the speed of a thousand gazelles while winking at the boys in the crowd
Centres-like wingers but uglier, so they stand further from the boys in the crowd
Fullback-likes to catch the rugby ball and run headfirst into the first opposition forward they see

>>72827208
You know, Rob Kearney isn't the only fullback in the world

Tevita kuridrani's uncle (nemani nadolo's dad) played for Queensland.

It's weird that nadolo (moved to Australia at 3 months old and lived in Brisbane his whole life) ended up playing for Fiji and Tevita (moved to Australia at 16) plays for Australia.

But then again Chris kuridrani is actually tevita' cousin and nemani's brother and they all appear to have changed surnames at some point and they're also all related to Lote Tuqiri.

just a friendly reminder we got robbed on the weekend by one of the worst cases of obstruction.

>>72825541
As a hockey fan, I like the flow of rugby and the toughness, but it's never on TV here and I have no idea what the he'll the rules are.

>>72827208

Prop - big lads. Life of the party. First to get their rig out when sinking piss
Hooker - smallest of the forwards come in two flavours, either the life of the party or shy and retiring
2nd row - the statesmen of the team, their massive size matched only by their massive intellect, future statesmen
Blindside - a dumber second rower, usually a ratbag
Open side - beautiful but dumb. Gym junkie to make up for the fact that they have the natural physique of a back
No. 8 - token islander.
Halfback - usually the least detestable of the backs, but often get a bit brave over the fact that as the smallest person on the team the forwards have their back in games. When it's not game time there's a good chance they will start shit and cause disharmony in the team
Fly half - dumb as bricks. Thought they were going to make it pro so they never tried in school, now trying their hardest to maybe get the qualifications to be a PE teacher
In centre - the smartest of the backs, putting them at about prop intelligence, usually pretty agreeable, the sole reason the fly half doesn't try to chip and chase every phase.
Out centre - token islander without the work ethic. Will always drop the ball after the forwards win a tight head.
Wing - fast runner with brittle bone syndrome.
Fullback - see wing, but give them an inflated sense of importance.

it's not just the penalties.
the rucks look like a bunch of preschoolers on steroids fighting just because they can, and even when I see what I think is an obvious illegal move they never call it, and rucks make up like 40% of the gameplay.

It encourages more running rugby I guess but it could take away how special that final weekend usually is, when everyone has equal points in different parts of the table.

Points system should be changed

2 for try
1 for conversion
1 for penalty
1 for drop
3 for penal try (under new WR text)

With that points system we wouldn't have won it in 2013

>>72831311

Actually, m8, Fullbacks tend to have an exceptionally well judged sense of importance because we:

>Are the puppet masters, pulling all the offensive and defensive strings
>Are fast and strong enough to right the wrongs of those meatheads who miss tackles
>Have perfect hand-eye coordination, in order to pluck high balls from the heavens
>Operate with a savant level intellect in order to constantly analyse the opponents and punish accordingly
>We are also modest and often let our teammates score the pointswe carve in order to give THEM an inflated sense of self importance

1 point for within 7? and 1 point for 4 tries or more? or is the french thing of 3 try difference.

>>72836179
The French system is even more of a meme, it's the normal one being used

>>72836206
I dunno. It always used to shit me off how teams like the Chiefs in SR got 2 points for always losing less than 7, and getting 4 try BP.

2 points is the same as a draw, yet they still lost.

One year ages ago, they got into the finals despite losing 2 more games than some South African team.

Also it sounds like it'll be whoever can pump Italy and France for the most try's next year, will win.

Like how tier 2 teams have been rapidly catching up with tier 1 teams, tier 3 teams like Brazil are probably improving even faster and catching up with tier 2 teams. While there's still a gap it's much smaller now.

>>72851369
The only tier 2 team improving are Japan. The rest aren't 'rapidly catching up' with anything, except maybe Italy who aren't really tier 1 quality, at least not consistently

>>72851403
Georgia is pretty decent mate and probably better than Japan.

Like ESPN SCRUM on facebook. It's a huge spanish media dedicated for rugby. You can also talk there in the comments section with other fans. Other good media ia SA Rugby magazine and Rugbyrama if you speak French.

Try to enjoy the simplicities of the game, like running play, imaginative passes and individual stepping skills leading to the try. Good games to watch are England-France in both 2014 and 2015 six nations as well as the pumas (quarter final against ireland 2015 comes to my mind)

Rugby is a Jewish plot to turn the children of the wealthy gay by having them engage in heavy man-to-man contact and take part in nude initiations, and bizarre homesexual off field practices, up to and including shoving bottles up each other's asses.

At least in England anyway.

Nah the thing is with Underhill, England seem to think he's a breakdown specialist, which is what they lack at 7 but that's the weakest part of his game at the moment.
He's an absolute beast at tackling, ball carrying and a total freak of an athlete at 19 years old but essentially he's a quicker, leaner version of Haskell right now. Give him a few years and he'll be starting 7 for England without a doubt though. We're lucky to have him, I'd imagine English clubs will be fighting to sign him when his Ospreys contract runs out.

>Imagine if your national teams biggest loss was by more than 25 points

>>72853020
I remember that game. The All Blacks were right on the Portuguese try-line, looking for a sixth try. The Portuguese were battered and giving ground quickly, then the AB scrum half got cocky and went for a flat-pass right in front of the posts. The Portuguese captain intercepted and ran from try line to try line. Then the Portuguese celebrated like they had won and then promptly got crushed. Hell of a try, though.

New game lads. Let's play "name the player based on the controversies they've been involved in".

I'll start

So what Champions Cup double headers are you guys looking forward to most?

>Glasgow v Racing Metro
Both prolific needle-users. Both fucked if anything happens to their out-half.

>Coventry Wasps v Connacht
The two biggest proponents of "muh keep the ball in hand whether appropriate or not" tactics in the competition. Who will give away fewer intercept tries?

>Leinster v Northampton
Two teams over the hill from their peak years trying to relive past glories.

>Clermont v Ulster
The choke artist showdown. If the holy rollers can't pick up a win at home, they're as good as out.

>Munster v Leicester
How long can Munster use the pashun from Axel's death to fuel their team? Will their meme magic run out?
