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 ....

All Blacks world cup. They were clinical although Ireland were awful. Brace yourself England

My two best friends are a Kiwi married to a Brit.
Should be fun in that household lol.

In fairness, they haven't let me forget the All Blacks at all.

See how the English half of the marriage copes now lol.

At least it wasn’t a total wipeout.

NZ are indeed looking good. So glad they aren't in our half of the draw.

England Wales final AlunWyn?

I think that would be preferable to a Wales v NZ final MrsJosh! Still got to get through tomorrow though... We should do it - today saw both pool winners through - but the French might play up to the occasion.

Oh God. I'm not going to sleep tonight. I hope Mr Navidi sleeps better than I will.
(It's probably already Sunday morning there though, isn't it?)

Apparently it's 6.15am there. Perhaps they're still asleep.
I hope AWJ's knees are well rested, they'll get a workout later.

We’re at Oita, about twenty minutes to go!

Just woken up. Here we go'

Bore da!

Watched the England game on catch up last night. I knew the score but was still on tenterhooks watching and shed a proud tear at the end.

Despite a trying to get a rise out of Sinkler both teams were very respectful of each other. Fabulous game.

I've been away and think I might try and watch the Japan Scotland match on catch up.

Now watching Wales V France ...............

Wales where are you ?

Come on !!!

Oh dear wales. I’m somewhat surprised by this to be honest.
(France could’ve done with those points tho.)
Having said that, I’ve a welsh brother in law who is very much of the opinion no one is ever better than wales so I so want them to lose 😂

I was a little concerned about Gatland’s comments pre-match.

Really hope he isn’t hoist by his own petard.

Half time came at the right time for Wales. They need to regroup.

I'm hoping we can do what we did in the Six Nations this year. Come out quick, sort out the deficit and get the win.

Moriarty you numpty!

I think they'll bring it back in the second half now.

Well that wasn't what I thought might happen. Bet Moriarty was bloody furious with himself - he was lucky it was not a red card.

Believe Wales will come back but should make for a good second half. Hope France don't lose themselves and start throwing punches if things get tight.

Stupid stupid mistake by the French player. Probably just cost them their chance of a semi final. Deserved the red card but sad that this will probably be the end for France.

As in sad that their chance of winning will end by a stupid/dangerous mistake.

I can’t fathom why professional players make such stupid decisions and get sent off! Craziness.

France have outplayed Wales and thoroughly deserve the current score line.

Ohhh what a fucking idiot. I hope he hasn’t, but I suspect that move has cost then the semi final. As you say, a professional player shouldn’t be doing stupid shit like that. It was so blatant too!

I think we're going home. :(

What a cracking match, spoiled only by a deserved red card.

Come on Wales! I'm English but rooting for you lot.
