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 ....

I'm English but rooting for you lot.

I’m Scottish and rooting for Wales too. Think they’re on a sticky wicket though.

Don’t speak too soon, @AlunWynsKnee!

I’m Scottish and rooting for Wales too.

Me too. Living vicariously!

Im English but I’m backing France completely! Gutted, come on you gutsy blues

Brilliant match!

Well played Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I genuinely think France deserved that more. They must be fuming over that red card fuck up. But fair play, Wales goes through.

Disappointed by that result. That performance did not deserve a win.

Stupid behaviour from France.

What a match. Wales squeaked it. France deserves to win really apart from the stupid mistake.

Wanted the France to give Wales a good match but that was a little close for comfort.

Wales held it together but France being one man down it shouldn't have been so close.

Well done France though - cracking match.

Great match. Wales were lucky!

Dear God that was stressful. I'm a wreck. A happy wreck mind.

What a great match. So pleased for Wales and their support. Would love to see an EngvWal final but I think NZ are by far the best team.

Looking forward to JapvSA now.

Yep should be good
I am not sure who to support though

I take it back. Moriarty certainly redeemed himself! Wales were very lucky there. Can't believe that French player. What an idiot. Cost them the match with that.

I think playing like that Wales aren't getting past either SA or Japan. Not a chance.

Undeserved win purely due to stupid behaviour by a French player (with what was a deserved red card).

I think it'll be SA that Wales will meet.

Absolutely completely and utterly want Japan to bet them (again) but I just don't think it'll happen.

Thank goodness. I imagine Garland will be very very relieved!

They definitely need to up their game though.

Bloody hell Wales! Talk about leaving it to last minute.

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

So many cameras, TMOs and millions around the world watching. Stupid, deliberate elbow to the head.

Oh my god that match put me through the wringer! Never been so stressed!

Ready to cheer on Japan!

Getting as emotional for Japan as I did for South Africa in 1995!

I have recovered my composure now...

Good performance from Wainwright. Backs concentrated too much on the kicking game and let the French have all the ball. Liam Williams excepted. For some reason we played that as a defensive game rather than attacking. We were lucky. We can't play like that next week.

Really looking forward to Japan's game.

Come on Japan !!!
