For you rugger buggers out there.

My money's on the All Blacks but think there will be strong northern hemisphere repping in the final stages

Phew. DD can go to school with a happy heart on Monday.

user1493423934 · 21/09/2019 12:55

All Blacks!!!

Yaflamingalah · 21/09/2019 12:56

I want it to be either Ireland or England but I think it will be the All Blacks’ cup.

Stickybeaksid · 21/09/2019 13:09

Ireland 🇮🇪 COYBIG

Contraceptionismyfriend · 21/09/2019 13:21

Wales....

😂

But seriously it'll be New Zealand.

SerenDippitty · 21/09/2019 13:36

We have an arrangement in our house. I support the England football team (except when they’re playing Wales obv) and DH supports the Wales rugby team even when they are playing England. Perfectly fair I think.

Contraceptionismyfriend · 21/09/2019 14:10

@SerenDippitty perfectly reasonable.

In our house I support Wales and DH gets the hell out of the room. (Football fan)

mbosnz · 21/09/2019 14:49

I know of one household where one is fervently pro-Wales, and the other equally fervently supports the English. I'm surprised there's not blood on the walls. . .

LemonRedwood · 21/09/2019 15:57

mbosnz I think you're talking about my household Blush

mbosnz · 21/09/2019 15:59

LOL - do you watch on different sets in different rooms when England and Wales play each other?!

LemonRedwood · 21/09/2019 16:04

We try to be in a neutral setting, like the pub!

For the infamous Wales v England game in 2015 where England were knocked out of their home wc, we were at a Welsh friend's house. The Welsh hymns on vinyl made an appearance, there was singing at length, and I nearly started googling divorce solicitors 😂

We were at the millennium stadium once, I think in 2013, right at the top and our 2 seats had the steps directly in front of us. Wales thumped England 30-3 and DH danced around in front of me in what can only be described as a provocatively smug way. I still have no idea how I managed to hold myself back from pushing him down the steps!

LemonRedwood · 21/09/2019 16:05

I myself, of course, am never provocative or smug when England beat Wales 😂

randomchap · 21/09/2019 16:10

Would love it to be England or one of the home nations. But it'll be New Zealand. They looked fantastic against SA today

rugbychick1 · 21/09/2019 16:28

I get to support England and Australia, but England would be in first place. Just. But think it'll be NZ again I don't want it to be another northern hemisphere team that win though. I still like to brag that England is the only northern hemisphere team to have won the World Cup

mbosnz · 21/09/2019 17:07

I was in Wales for the 1999/2000? Rugby World Cup. I was on a work jolly. Went down for a drink in the bar, and once they found out where I was from - didn't buy a drink all night, and bugger work, I was adopted by all these lovely Welsh people as we watched the game! And OMG could they sing. I can't.

mbosnz · 21/09/2019 17:08

And that would have been justifiable homicide LemonRedwood. . . no jury (in England!) would have convicted you. . .

mummagirl · 21/09/2019 17:15

Ireland
And thank you......

NiceLegsShameAboutTheFace · 21/09/2019 17:15

England, I hope Smile

The only frustrating thing about this world cup! I'll probably still have a beer whilst watching at 8am in my pyjamas 😂

@JorisBonson

Our local is opening at 8.30 to show the Ireland Scotland match, then England Tonga afterwards. I forsee a pub full english most likely followed by a pub lunch and a pub dinner Grin

JorisBonson · 22/09/2019 10:01

It's far too early in the morning to be disappointed by the Scottish rugby team 🙄

Ireland 🇮🇪

Hoghgyni · 22/09/2019 10:48

It's my birthday. I'm watching the match with a glass of bucks fizz. I predict that Scotland are not going to get through to the final, but hoping Wales will at least make the semis. I think the All Blacks will rise to the occasion as always.

BananasAreTheSourceOfEvil · 22/09/2019 10:53

I was a bit 'meh' about this match, as whilst I live in Ireland, DP gets a bit big for his boots if they do too well. So I listened to the psychic sheep they had on the tv last night and put a euro on a draw.

Last time I take gambling advice from a farm animal.

When DP wakes up this afternoon he will be unbearable (night shifts means I don't have to listen to him crowing in real time)
