Wow. What a 2 legged tie that was.
Well done Chile!
Chile will probably get smashed in each and every game at the RWC, but just qualifying already means the world to up-and-coming tier 3 teams and what an experience it will be, playing against some of the best teams in the world!
I'm stoked to see them there, it's always great when a first time qualifier makes it.
They probably will get battered, but it'll still be a massive boost for them. Hopefully the squad will get funding for proper training camps and preparation matches etc. And should be massive for the profile of rugby in Chile
That is what happens these days. The lower T2 nation get pretty good funding, fixtures, camps etc in that world cup year paid and arranged by WR.
The operational side of WR is actually quite good and competent. It's the politics and refereering administration where it gets dire.

Hopefully I won't have to get shitty Spark Sport for this version, tho if Foster's still in charge, am I going to watch?

@voodoo yeah he played with a bit of old school edginess. That is a great video because it shows how emotional this game can be (look at the responses in this joint over the last 4 days đŸ˜‰).
Emotional enough to want to throw a ‘consolation’ prize away, but equally emotional to have gratitude when it comes back!

He seems to be polar opposite from his playing days. I could easily watch it without getting dusty, cos I remember him being a right twat. But cool to see he's now rather humble and has humility.

@Bones no doubt I always wanted one of the ABs to deck him, but I met him at a couple of Brumbies functions back around 2010 I think and he actually was compete opposite to that punchable egg guy on the field. Liked a beer or three too!

Remember Austin Healy calling him a plank back in the day ? That was amusing ( to my great disappointment Healy is actually quite a likeable funny guy when interviewed )
I also remember a pretty good punch up with Filipo Levi, I think both guys got sent off for that one.
