The verdict is in and O'Brien has been banned for one week, which was reduced from two weeks because of his previous disciplinary record.
Hearing that there were slightly more mitigating circumstances than that. It would appear that Pape (the Frenchie), stuck his pinky in O'Brien's pooper!!
Those crazy rugby guys hey!!
What did the French bloke get? Other than a smelly finger.

A semi
Perhaps it's the only way of getting one, when faced with the All Blacks in the quarterfinals.
Thank goodness this tournament is still on, I have no idea that New Zealand will win it. It is a good job it wasnt possible to play it over just a fortnight, because the MASSIVE tv audiences (4.1 Million for England at prime time saturday on ITV!) will have nothing else to watch and talk about wherever you go. If only the Times and other papers could promote it better, then even more people will be watching it and then reporting favorably (and apparantly only positively) on a FOOTBALL forum site.
I think thats what I meant, sorry for the earlier draft.
Maybe you missed the 25 million who watched just one game in Japan - at midnight. That's almost 25% of the entire population of the country, which isnt one of your supposed top six.

I was countering your dismissive one off viewing figure with a record breaking fact illustrating that far from one man and his dog being interested in rugby as you laughably claim, that in fact this tournament has captivated and inspired millions around the world. But as they are foreign and not you they obviously dont count.
Good to see just how narrow minded you are though.

Personally I think I'm more parochial rather than narrow minded. How many watch Blackheath play? ...... answer its around 1200.

Yawn. I'm thinking you are on a wind up like Greenie was earlier. Are you Greenie in disguise?
To triumphantly prove that my point of view is correct, I pluck a random fact from the air (a technique I believe you are familiar with and are, evidentially a skilled practitioner of.) Average attendance at Welling last year was 667, a 14% drop on previous year.
Ta daaa.
PS I love the fact that in your quest to troll you have actually had to take the time to look up rugby club attendances. Top trollwork fella - keep up the rugby research!
Blimey youre right I'm completely wrong Rugby must be Much Much More popular than rubbish old football, their players must be household names, paid fortunes and kids everywhere must be wearing replica rugby kit. Im sorry that I have been wasting my time looking at a football forum rather than a obviously more superior Rugby forum.

No one is saying rugby is more popular than football.
This thread is full of people talking about the Rugby World Cup, so naturally the majority of people on this thread appreciate and like rugby, so really struggling to understand why you have spent all day debating on here about why rugby is rubbish, while sprouting a load of sarcastic rubbish. You tried to make a point about it going on for too long, but never actually made a point, instead just said it was a waste of time. I suggest you leave this thread now and let those of us that are interested talk about the world cup. There are plenty of other things going on for you to enjoy.
Edit. And in case you hadn't realised, one of the great things about this forum is you can talk about non football, and non charlton topics. If you aren't interested, it really is as simple as not clicking on the title you aren't interested in.

At what point has ANYONE said rugby is more popular than football? Or that football is rubbish? Or that rugby players are household names?
Apart from these points and all the other nonsense you've written, your argument is sound, spot on and not from the imagination of a troll at all.
n fact the only thing you've written that makes sense is ''Blimey youre right I'm completely wrong''
Bit obsessed with the word troll aren't you? All I started out saying was I felt the World Cup had been going on too long and could have been over quicker, and it was you who took a pop at me and questioned my right to mention this. It was also you who mentioned Wellings attendances with a triumphant tadaa because you had scored a comparison point. Fair enough.
I stand by my original post that the tournament in my view is over long and hasnt gripped the public, as tv audiences show, I didnt think that was particularly controversial and there is no need to be so aggressive. Hope you enjoy the rest of the tournament.
tbh, i dont 'get' rugby- it just seems like 10 mins of flowing passing and running, and 70 mins of scrums and physios coming on (whilst the game is going on). Also, i dont 'get' grown men doing some stupid dance poking their tongues out before a game - it does the game no credit whatsoever. you either get it or you dont.

Perhaps, I have been missing something, but after four weeks of this tedious tournament, there have only been two decent games in terms of competitiveness - England v Wales and Japan v South Africa. The only thing I like about it is that fans of opposing nations seem to be able to stand side by side.

you either get it or you dont.
England rugby find a way to win
Boris doing his bit
He's more than a one trick pony.
Usually there's a Scotsman, Irishman and Welshman there too.
But they're all still at the Rugby World Cup!
