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 ....

Amazing atmosphere

Man I get so emotional over other nations anthems.. 🤣

BestIsWest · 20/10/2019 11:17

My blood pressure is back to normal now.

Would be amazing to see Japan win this game but I think SA will be too strong.

I absolutely love that the Japanese have song sheets for other nations anthems!

massistar · 20/10/2019 11:21

I know @Sexnotgender . It was the wee girl singing her heart out to the SA anthem that got me going. Beautiful!

massistar · 20/10/2019 11:30

Awful tackle.

Sexnotgender · 20/10/2019 11:31

He’s lucky that wasn’t red! Appalling tackle.

Rugbylife · 20/10/2019 11:31

Ok, so heart rate and blood pressure back to normal! How the hell we won that I don’t know, too many handling errors and turnover ball. Wales need to step up for the semis.
Onto Japan game, I hope they get through but think SA might have the edge.

Awful horrible tackle. Should have been a red for that.

AlunWynsKnee · 20/10/2019 11:31

Very lucky to get a yellow

JacquesHammer · 20/10/2019 11:34

Despite the fact the RFU have tightened up the rulings, the refereeing has been woefully inconsistent.

TanteRose · 20/10/2019 11:58

Love the Freddie Mercury call-and-repeat Grin

DoctorTwo · 20/10/2019 11:59

What. A Game. Ball handling skills on both sides are excellent.

TanteRose · 20/10/2019 12:00

Yep It's a really intense dynamic game!

It's not RFU it's World Rugby.

RFU is governing body for English Rugby

JacquesHammer · 20/10/2019 12:05

It's not RFU it's World Rugby

I take less interest in the more dull code Grin

Even so, my point still stands....

What a match!

massistar · 20/10/2019 12:15

Bloody hell. Breathless first half!

AlunWynsKnee · 20/10/2019 12:19

Very busy game with surprisingly few points. Refereeing is poor. Missing forward passes and it didn't look like the SA player was held at the end there. Should have reviewed that.

MrsJoshNavidi · 20/10/2019 13:10

What a shame for Japan after such a good first half.

TanteRose · 20/10/2019 13:19

Aww never mind Sad
They did so well to get this far! 🇯🇵

maras2 · 20/10/2019 13:22

He's nearly 70 but has more staying power than most.
