Make that holy weather-proof synthetic composite balls, I haven't seen a leather rugby ball in years. Back in college we played with nothing but - brown leather made by some company called Union-Doss, now defunct I believe.
Still you can see the ticking clock here: http://www.rugbyworldcup.com/
The Frogs are hosting the World Cup this time around and Wales opens its play against the pathetic Beavers in Nantes on September 9th. While I don't seem to have Chipolatte's pre-ejac leakage problem, I do have a stiffy.
The Cymry are in a pool with the Aussies - look out boys. The USA Eagles are also in, in a very tough pool with England and the Springboks. There are some odd teams in this Cup in addition to the usual rugby powers. Georgia, Romania, Portugal, and others, should be interesting.
COME ON WALES!

Hi. How goes it?
No doubt you're a good guy, and you got nerve for posting your picture...
but you are one scary looking mf. I can't decide why exactly - something in the eyes.
-----------------
Need help deciding?
I felt the same way, and I saw why; http://www.ubersite.com/m/116656.

Since I only post about rugby I can't tell what this douchebag's problem is, but he's got a bug up his ass about me or rugby, one of the two.

What a bloody shambles. Jenkings should have at least filled half the team with those he intends to start in the group opener.
Ah well, roll on September. The Semi Finals should not be out of reach.

If the Scottish team can get it's shit together (unlikely) we might be able to finish second behind the All Blacks.
I doubt it though.

I think we'll do surprisingly well. In the 6 Nations, thinking about it rationally and not through a drunken rage, we didn't do too badly. We were only proper stuffed by England.

Only 35 minutes in and England are already stuffin' your lot 22-0, and we're dropping balls all over the place, not even playing well. I wouldn't start getting too excited yet my welsh neighbour.

mmm so it looks like our only competition initially will be Wales. Maybe Fiji, if they have improved on their fitness. I watched Australia A play against Japan about a month ago and Japan looked dangerous only when they played the ball to the wing. They lost like 72 - 10 I think.
Yeah the US drew a pretty shitty group... Even Samoa should rail-road them. France scored the best I think. With Argentina being the only real danger, as Ireland are very hot-cold and I don't think I've ever seen Namibia play. Well maybe in Sevens but not a World Cup.
I remember playing with a leather ball. It always smelled strange. And when you got a good clearence kick on it, it sort of crumpled around your foot then shot off with a satisfying 'whump'.
