Jesus last few pages of this thread is utter garbage.
Why challenge mr bean to a game of wit when you can see that he is unarmed.

Lomu bar 1995 world cup never really made an impact at other world cups Interesting that you say he was average in 2003 yet nominated for player of tournament just goes to show you are talking out of your arse At least Lomu produced at one WC BoD didn't at three!! If Dan Carter and McCaw are two of the greatest players ever to grace a rugby field and BoD cannot be compared to them then you agree that BoD wasn't one of the greatest players nevermind world class

Carter and McCaw are beyond world class, they're as I said two of the greatest players ever.

You can keep coming out with your non facts as you haven't actually made any bar oh he didn't do anything in the world cup which I proved you wrong on .

Another fact for you Brian was inducted into World Rugby hall of fame last night and given a lifetime achievement award now you don't win these awards if you were average

This niche event is the third biggest sporting event in the world (a lot of conflicting data on this but generally seems to be accepted) so bigger than the winter Olympics,Superbowl,world series,champions League,Euros etc I hate golf and horse racing which are pretty big sports,don't feel the need to comment or insult them,I just watch sports i enjoy instead. If you don't like it,don't watch and comment on it,seems simple enough to me.

This I had to laugh at this. The World Cup Final just gone will still fall 50 million short of the average viewing figures for a Superbowl.

And that's not even taking into account the regular season

To seriously suggest a RWC final is a bigger event than the superbowl or CL final is demented. But this falls into a pattern with the egg chasers who simply can't get over the fact that despite 15 years of unprecedented success they are still way off football in every sense.

May have been off with that statement about the final (cant be arsed googling it)

Still the Rugby WC is the third biggest sporting event in the world.

Note to ritd,your total insecurity about your preferred sport and general gobsh1tery means i stopped responding to you a long time ago.If you could kindly fcuk off and extend me the same courtesy it would be much appreciated.

By the way I like rugby just clearing this up

That's fair enough and i did say in my original post I was open to correction that.
