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 ....

Amazed to see Wayne Barnes referring. You'd have thought he wouldn't be put in that position. Risk he'd be too intimidated to call anything against the AB, considering it seem stats suggest refs in general were!!

As much as I want Wales to win if they do then they might say they could have beaten the England team.

So on balance I think I want a great game and for the All Blacks to squeak a win at the last moment.

Oh I think Wales may have too much to do now.

I think this has got to be the worse match of the competition. As in nobody wants to play for 3rd or 4th place. It must be very hard to play your heart out after the crushing disappointment of losing a semi. I'm sure the players would rather just leave after the semis.

Totally didn't arrange to wfh just so I could watch...

I'm on annual leave!!

Wish we'd played this way on Sunday.

As in this kind of running game not the disjointed defence obviously!

minmooch we've been waiting for a win against the ABs longer than we've been waiting for the RWC.

Cricket me too! Told my line manager I wouldn't be answering the phone before 11!
Keeping half an eye on emails.

Wales are missing too many tackles and are being punished for it.

Ah well, at least it wasn't tense...

End of an era. We'll miss Gatland, Edwards and McBryde. Let's see what Pivac can do.

@AlunWynsKnee you'll have to wait a little longer ☹️. Bad luck Wales it just wasn't your game

It was never going to be. ABs off the back of a loss were always going to be dangerous @minmooch. One day...

I'm not sure I can even be bothered to watch the England game tomorrow. I don't really care who wins. Sore loser!

Looking forward to tommow. Hoping itll be a cracker of a match.

I'll be watching, hoping for a good game, gritting my teeth and supporting England. A bit.

Beginning to get excited now! I live in Harpenden where 4 of the squad went to school and played rugby. The town is buzzing!

COME ON ENGLAND!!!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@AlunWynsKnee ‘a bit’ made me laugh, you sound like my welsh BIL
God I am so excited!! Come on England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Hoping for a good game! Another one supporting England through gritted teeth although if they win I'll need to stay off mainstream media for a few months.

Still huge support all across Japan for this match! Fan zones are packed apparently

Go England!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Can I join? Watching on my own as kids are with their father and he wouldn’t let my rugby mad son come and watch with me. Been up since 5 ....come on England!

Good luck!!
Hope it’s a good match

Can't believe how few of us are watching this.

I'm about to banish the cat upstairs so I can watch in peace.

C'mon England!

Just tuned in. Come on England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
