Rugby World Cup 2019

[minmooch]

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 ....

Big fan of Our Nige! Best ref ever.

I wouldn't support England, but it would be great if the 3 northern hemisphere sides plus Japan all get through to the next round.

Irish press happy with him reffing?

I've seen him ref and I find him tough but fair.

I genuinely think he sees the rules and that's it.

As it should be, minority!

I know it's today for some of you but it's tomorrow for me. it's still going to start at 11.45am.

I feel the need for a song...........

Christ I don't think I'll sleep

My dream winning teams for the weekend are:

Ireland
England
France
Japan

Not too sure that'll come to fruition though!!

I don't even like him lol. It came up when I typed in 'tomorrow'. Just before I get stabbed in the morning.

That'll be me tomorrow Minority.

It's like life or death, only more serious than that!

England will win, I'd be amazed if they don't. It won't be a walkover, but I don't think it'll be close either.

But what do I know, despite having a famous rugby player husband.

I'd like
Ireland
SA
France
and Japan for putting Japanese rugby on the map.

MrsJosh, can you just injure him? I know he's not playing tomorrow but I presume he's English in which case he deserves a groin injury............ Take one for the Mums.

For the record: I do not support inflicting groin injuries on men. Only on rugby players. In which case it's recommended.

An Ireland England final would be interesting to say the least.

I think the DUP and the IRA might start a new war lol.

He's half Welsh and half Iranian.

FWIW the Scrum V podcast guys think Ireland will win.

Minority general rugby press picking over minor details of Nige's refereeing. It's nonsense. Every ref has missed something in a game, you'd have to be super human not to.
Nigel refereed the last final. He's on the slate for this final. God knows I hope he's ruled out (by virtue of Wales being in the final).
He's got the nod to referee the Wales v Babarians match as Gatland's swansong which is unprecedented. That gives you the measure of the man.

I don't think there can be am England Ireland final as they'd meet in the semis first so only one would go through.

I don't think England are going to win against the all blacks!

Ireland I mean

England v Ireland would be a semi final not final as Horehound says.

Could be England v ABs in a semi.

COULD STILL BE IRELAND VS ENGLAND.

I'm going to cry. I care about no other sport..

But the thoughts of tomorrow and I'm sad.

For some of us this means a lot.
