I was looking forward to X factor. What's all this rugby malarkey?

Seriously.

Watch the All Blacks, they're amazing. Especially that number 11 guy.

X factor is tripe. Wink
It'll be on later. Dontcha know there's a World Cup on.

I'm being made to watch with the Kiwi DH.... I still don't understand it, they all just jump on each other. He is getting rather excited though!

Yes it is tripe, but that's what I watch, I don't think it's on later, thinks it Jonathon Ross. Sad

shakey they had a great first half. I thought they'd get through on the first half performance but they couldn't keep it up.

That Dan Biggar is rather tasty too. My team (England) were out after 2 matches... Very sad.

The WC is brilliant, some matches have been a joy to watch.

I love the Haka then watching The All Blacks play, brilliant TV if you like sport.

Shame Wales lost.

We just got back from Twickenham. Wales were awesome, such a shame. And now i know some of the rules too!

Much better than X factor

I love Nigel. He's wonderful. He just stood there, hands behind his back, watching. Now he's going to tell them off!

Love rugby.

X Factor is ok, I like singing competitions, but I tire of the sob stories, novelty acts, cliches, ads.

Loving it! Sorry about Wales though.

I'm not really into sport but would much rather watch rugby than the X factor! Even though Wales lost Sad I'm rooting for Ireland tomorrow though!

It's getting a bit boring, I'd have liked France to put up a bit of a fight.

X factor is tomorrow. You're clearly not a big fan or you'd have found out about this the first week it was moved for the rugby. You know, when the rest of us did. Wink

I find stuff like this hugely disruptive. Same with football

Now free view is available, I think dedicated channels should be set up for things like the RWC. Anyone can watch it for free so it's the same as being in terrestrial
TV but means that mainstream channels are t affected

When did they get so relaxed about blood? There are bleeding players there, one French bloke is bleeding from his ear... Yuk.
Do they not do blood replacements anymore?

I'm probably asking the wrong people if you're pining the rescheduling of x factor.

It's a bloody good game also though, and all that.

The French seem to be in danger of losing their shorts. Better elastic or better fabric would be good. Not that I'm just looking at their shorts obviously. Loving the match.

Can't stand rugby, Dh is an Aussie so it's the second most important thing in the world ( after cricket of course)

I think Nigel is a legend too snoop. He's how I learnt how to control my disruptive classes. They should hire him out to teacher training colleges.

Re the bleeding, Dh says it because they are real men, not like pathetic footballers, but not as hard as Aussie rules players apparently.
