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 ....

Watching in bed with some beer, nice responsible parenting!

Penalty!!!
19-12

@SimonJT

Amaaaaazing!

Fucking hell - they beat Ireland!!!

That was fantastic! Had Ireland to win but was rooting for Japan! So great for the home nation. Must be mad celebrations there!

Bloody hell. Well played Japan but gutted #COYBIG 🇨🇮☘🏉

Wow to that game!!

Japan have sure as hell been studying Ireland's attack haven't they!!

Great game!

What a game!

Very worried as a Scotland fan now!

Ah this is where you're hiding :)
What a game from the Japanese!

@massistar
Be afraid...be very afraid

My New Zealand friends are all saying "good game, but they better not beat the ABs"

@massistar me too!

Nice synopsis of the game in the Observer

"Such was the thunderous roar when the final whistle sounded it would have caused the nearby Mount Fuji to wobble. There were times when they looked like the All Blacks in red and white jerseys"

Wales V Australia - who's calling what?

I think Wales will win, Australia don't seem to be too hot at the moment.

Beautiful little drop goal from Biggar - wish they'd play them more often. Love that moment when the ball hangs in the air and you can feel the fans wishing it over.

In bed with a cuppa listening to the TV downstairs where DH is watching. Might get up for the 2nd half

We are too good at throwing away a game. It was never gonna be an easy match! I am meant to be going out but I don't think I'll bother!

Bloody hell!

Irish here.
Gutted.

😭we are going lose this!

I haven't been able to watch the last 5 minutes.
We've won!!!

As an England supporter very pleased for Wales. Well done 👍

Australia always feel a little whiney to me. Hooper didn't help change my thoughts on that - though he might have had a point it look ignoring the fact the penalty was for leading with the forearm.

His arguing probably seemed worse after his no-arms tackle. Only got a penalty for that, should have been binned.

Wont lie, I do feel 'oh no' when I see Poite as the ref!!!

That aside Wales did it! The having to fend Australia off at the end causing a lot of anxious clock watching!!

• it look ignoring = it took ignoring

Stupid text prediction!!

That was exhausting. Can't believe we hung on for the win. So many times we've lost in this position but not today
