Can't see a thread on this ....

Any rugby lovers here? Not many of my girlfriends share my love of rugby.

France/Argentina - cracking close match.

Japan/Russia - glad the home team won.

Australia/Fiji fantastic first half.

And now the All Blacks v Springboks - can't wait ....

Yes just watching it though should be doing lots of other things! Wales playing Monday.

🙌 having to watch much on catch up due to toddler but some cracking games so far.

Off to a premiership rugby game live today so will catch up later but very excited for tomorrow

Loved the Hakka - always sends shivers down my spine!

Breath taking first half - clash of the Titans! Rugby at its best. 🏉🏉🏉

Been trying to watch but fighting some virus so randomly slept between being sick through today's matches!!!

Lots of my work colleagues are hopeful for Ireland. I'm not so confident though. but I think they'll crash at one point for one reason or another. I think NZL too.

I am confident that I'm sure that I'd love to be in Jason though!!

I think that the NZL V RSA match is probably going to be the match of the competition, even though it's so early in the competition.

Loved watching Namibia v Italy this morning. When only 8 players are professional they put up a great shout. The celebrations at the last try was heartwarming even though it didn't change the outcome.

Some really awful play from Scotland this morning.

I have my tickets to quarter final 3 (group c and d), cannot wait!

Jellyshoeswithdiamonds · 22/09/2019 23:32

Have enjoyed so far.

We know a few players/coaches involved so its interesting to watch.

Be more than nice if Wales annihilate Georgia tomorrow.

Scotland were dire, was hoping they'd front up but their forwards were lacking.

AnOojamaflip · 23/09/2019 06:36

Hmm, I see I declared a few posts up I'd like to be in Jason. Now as nice as Jason might be, I did mean Japan.

Sorry Jason.

(Working though all matches today- boo!!)

AnOojamaflip · 23/09/2019 06:41

Is it only one match a day through the week? Just checked.

So in other words I won't be able to watch the match today!!

massistar · 23/09/2019 11:27

Just watching my second team now after my first team, Scotland, did so dismally yesterday. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Seeline · 23/09/2019 11:36

My second team too. DH is half Welsh so happy to support when England aren't playing 😀

massistar · 23/09/2019 11:42

👍 I live here! One child is firmly a Wales supporter whereas the other is Scotland as he was born there. DH is Italian but they're firmly in 3rd place.. 😬

massistar · 23/09/2019 11:43

Who is the woman who keeps screaming?

TanteRose · 23/09/2019 11:46

I live here too! Not got tickets tho, but everywhere is rugby crazy Grin
There is even a rugby shrine in the middle of Tokyo

Must be a fab atmosphere @TanteRose! I meant here as in Wales. Grin

TanteRose · 23/09/2019 11:53

Ooh I thought you might be another Japan MNer @massistar

There are so-called Fanzones everywhere so you are never far from a big screen and a view of a match Grin

@SimonJT you coming over here then?

SimonJT · 23/09/2019 12:01

Yep, heading over for the group three quarter final and bringing MiniSJT, we’re popping over for a week. It’s been a while since I’ve been to Japan so it will be good to be back, even if it is a short visit.

TanteRose · 23/09/2019 12:03

@SimonJT
Fab! Have fun Smile

TanteRose · 23/09/2019 12:04

Wales are giving Georgia a right mauling btw Confused

massistar · 23/09/2019 13:09

Georgia have had a decent second half. They haven't rolled over and died like Scotland did yesterday.

minmooch · 26/09/2019 08:43

Not had a chance to watch the last few matches but we've got the screen set up at the office to watch the England match today.

We're in a league at work where we have had to predict winners of each game, margins and whether winning team scored a bonus point. I'm trailing at the moment and have made a wild prediction of how much England will beat USA today. I think my finger must have slipped as I have predicted a 52 point margin 😂😂😂😂. Looking for a miracle to earn me some points!

Wish I'd stuck a tenner on Uruguay!

TanteRose · 28/09/2019 09:58

Anyone watching Japan v. Ireland?
Japan leading!
Exciting stuff Smile
