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 ....

Ba humbug

The 'disrespect' appears to be either not standing in a straight line and watching or Owen Farrell's smile.

There was a bit of upset last week too because Irish fans sang during it.

People and social media 🙄

The ABs love it when the other team responds to the haka in some way. It's a challenge, after all.

Well done, England. Totally dislike you as a team (especially Owen Farrell) but a deserved win. Smothered NZ's attack and dictated the match.

Is the problem Owen Farrell's 'smirk'?

I’ve never respected him as much!

So many NZers have said this to me!!

Oh and also...

Yeahnah

All boys' schools have their own haka, so when they play each other it's a double challenge.

MoreTurkeyForMe, your post made me laugh, I nearly did the same, ended up peeping round the door watching through my fingers!

Hope England recover fully for the Final, this match must have taken everything out of them

Getting excited now!
Going to be a good match.

90 minutes or so to kick off and hopefully both teams play a blinder. Go on Wales, I'd love to see you turn South Africa over and make it an all Northern Hemisphere final.

Tears in my eyes already!
I’m not even Welsh

Hoping the best for Wales!!

Looking forward to another cracking game. Will be less tense to watch so might actually be able to sit down for it!

I hope all the Welsh fans get as good a game and result as we did yesterday!

Oh dearie me

God I absolutely LOVE how much a sport means to the players!

Oh dear God I'm nervous.

I'm not going to freaking be able to watch it. Have to get in the car for a several hours drive. Not driving so could watch but it'll be patchy!

Is that The Fields of Athenry I can hear in the background?

We need to hang on to the ball a bit and get into their 22 a bit. Getting involved in scrums is doing us no favours.

Its a turgid game so far. Boring. If it wasn't Wales, I'd have gone back to bed.

Not sure how they're going to find enough highlights for later - will be a very short programme!

Such a scrappy game. Kicking and scrapping. I really dislike this type of rugby that SA play

This is... pretty dire. From both teams.

What a dreary game. I’m supposed to be watching it, but on here instead. I don’t think England will have much to worry about whichever Side wins today,
