Ross Kemp's Most Dangerous Posts!

Can't see us beating the Boks tomorrow and neither team beating England next week if they play like that again.

kick kick kick kick kick ruck kick kick kick

one of the SA players has literally the Afrikaans translation of my name lol

that's all, not watching

... try (xxp)

Wales try!

Building up to a right climax this after an hour of caginess

Bastard penalty.

Should be an England cakewalk but invincible England RU teams falling at the final hurdle is one of the greatest pleasures to be had in world sport.

V hard to cheer for SA with a clear conscience but I understand all not Englishes doing that.

Unlucky Wales in the end

Going down w honour in semi final probly much less painful for wales than losing a world cup final to the saxon foe

Yeah our patched up team would have got battered next week.

Instead we get to face the wounded ABs in just 5 days in a game no one wants to be in.

3rd place games are always pointless

Englol

enjoying this

enjoyed the shot of Bill Beaumont and Prince Harry looking sad

stick a fork in em

thinking about thos ross kemp tears

Awesome try.

I want to see Prince Harry's face now.

I'm that happy right now I could jump over a dollhouse and then run all the way to the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain and lay a big steaming chod in it.

Aussie rules RIP

To compound the misery for England rugby fans, Margaret Thatcher's still dead.

Matt Dawson wouldn't include any South Africa players in his combined XV with England.

Congrats Wales, can't have been easy to throw the semi-final but the right decision in the end

Shit news. Fuck cancer

Really need France to do England today to make life a smidgen more bearable.

In the other code of rugby I just noticed last night that the Catalan Dragons have signed Israel Folau. Stay classy lads.

Fine and dandy so far.

Hopefully France can keep it going for the 2nd half

Can see England coming back strong but fingers crossed.

Get it right up ye, Boris Johnson.

And Prince William or whoever the rugby one is

In the other code of rugby I just noticed last night that the Catalan Dragons have signed Israel Folau. Stay classy lads.

And in top trolling, Wigan have announced that their home game against Catalan will be Pride Day with players wearing rainbow socks and laces

Nice one.

Explosive rugby in the first half there

ffs Ireland, give us a try at least.

... yasssss, now three more.

I've little interest in Rugby or in any team-sport but amazon prime pushed this documentary to my recommended list (I guess because they are pushing rugby more generally ahead of the 7 nations cup) and it is fascinating and infuriating. Incredible stats like: 20-25% of professional rugby players come from the pacific islands (fiji, Tonga, Samoa - combined population of 1.5m people) ; pacific island players were getting paid circa £80 per game while western players were getting payed upwards of £20,000 per game and that PI players were busking on the streets while on tour in Europe to earn cash. Some really horribly sad stories in here of the exploitation of PI players.

Some spin-off docs as well, you'll have to search for on amazon

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Castaway-Romania-Tongan-national-foodbanks/dp/B08NRDHJFL/ref=pd_ys_iyr3

about a PI player who ended up on contract in Romania but got kidney failure and coudn't return to Tonga because they don't have any dialysis machines there. He's currently living on benefits in Romania.

and

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Caucau-Greatest-Mystery-Rupeni-Caucaunibuca/dp/B08NK3L9PS/ref=pd_ys_iyr2

about another player who became lost in the system and is now penniless in Tonga.
