  10. Official Thl 2015 Rugby World Cup Thread

    Ps....always thought there were 15 in a rugby team, 2 players and it's over. LOL

    there is but your scrum half is your link man and game maker ... he dictates the speed and direction of the game ... halfpenny was the kicker the man that generally scores the most points in a game ... so although there are 15 players in a team there some that are missed more than others .......

    Kicking stats last season was Halfpenny 76% success rate with Dan Biggar getting 86% imo Halfpenny will not be missed as much as a lot of fans seem to fear. If anything I reckon our squad will be stronger for losing 2 key players but to think our World Cup is over is a bit defeatist imo.

    30 seconds to go, 18 all and we have a penalty 5 yards in our own half, who would you want to take the kick? The problem with stats is they are just that, statistics, it does not tell you where the kicks were taken from or what distance they were. It only tells you the conversion rates. If a kicker is conservative with his kicking he can get a very high percentage, if on the other hand no matter the conditions he takes on every possible kick, it stands to reason he will have a lower conversion rate but probably kick more goals in the process.

    Totally understand where your coming from Al, just saying that Biggar isn't a bad back up and can also kick quite long.

     

    Remember RWC 2011 semi final and Halfpenny had a kick to win the match in exactly the scenerio you mentioned......the agony!! Not again please :)

    Guy int pub said shoot a dog on a public footpath and see what happens

    you get a dead dog unfortunately

    Nobody is ever going to shoot a dog on a public foot path. It don't happen mate, in 30 years on dog game and the guy int pubs 60plus years never have we had a dog shot or executed, very rarely even hear of it, never mind have it happen to you or somebody you know. The fact is iv lost more dogs while running on permission than I have out poaching or ferreting where I should never have been when younger. Some guys need to go rabbiting, all the permission in world wont keep some happy, the fact is them guys go where the rabbits are. If you don't want hassel, or to risk a dogs life then maybe sit at home? Or take up dominoes,like seamus

     

    i seen a farmer go in someones back garden and shoot they dog and another farmer shot a dog when the owner was just taken it for a walk it was off the lead and on common ground not evan the farmers land
