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

NZ, but not as comprehensively as before, they're not the team they were.

MysweetAudrina · 22/09/2019 10:57

Woo hoo brilliant win from Ireland there.

tillytrotter1 · 22/09/2019 11:00

The Men's Rugby World Cup? Couldn't care less who wins but just hoping to see it called the Men's Rugby World Cup and not THE Rugby World Cup because there is also a Women's one innit

A bit early for old chestnuts!
The Open is the golf tournament played in the UK, it's not The British Open, because it was the first, all the others have an adjective, US, French etc.. The RU World Cup was the first, any subsequent competitions need the adjective.

Heart England Head New Zealand.

Heart Wales
Head All blacks

JacquesHammer · 22/09/2019 11:09

Giving it another whirl.

Hoping England play less defensively than they have been.

Yearning for some decent expansive rugby

JacquesHammer · 22/09/2019 11:10

Oh and seriously ITV “saying brutality has put some mums off”.

For FUCK’S sake

Hoghgyni · 22/09/2019 11:23

Both the men's and women's are renamed from 2021 to just The Rugby World Cup & the year. Changes announced 23 August.

LemonRedwood · 22/09/2019 13:15

Well, job done for England but they didn't half make it look difficult. The sheer number of handling errors!

Hoghgyni · 22/09/2019 18:59

I think Tonga put up more of a fight than Scotland. I thought they would get over the line when the dinner gong bonged and the England squad ran into get their school dinner!

Mrsmadevans · 22/09/2019 19:04

South Africa , New Zealand or Australia
I want Wales to win but l can't see it happening

NaomiFromMilkShake · 22/09/2019 23:18

If not Ireland then England. I would say Wales but as long as that creep Gatland is in charge it will never be Wales for me.

will never ever ever forgive him for dropping BOD in the Lions tour

If he was on fire, I would call the fire brigade.......eventually.

Rochim20 · 22/09/2019 23:53

My head says NZ. My heart says Wales or Ireland.

Mummyshark2019 · 23/09/2019 00:01

All blacks

Notthebradybunch · 23/09/2019 00:08

Ireland

HappyBumbleBee · 23/09/2019 00:17

I recommend it'll be between Ireland and the all Black's - and hope Ireland come out on top! 🍀☘️🍀☘️

honeyloops · 23/09/2019 07:45

I hope Wales!

crabb · 23/09/2019 08:09

Well someone on Mumsnet has to do it, and no-one has, so I’ll put my hand up for Australia. (But the bloody ABs will probably get it as they always do. But we did beat them in Perth, so who knows?)
