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 ....

Got in at 6. I should really have gone to bed but I'm sacrificing sleep for this game - it better be a good one!! (That's with England winning.)

Have coffee by my side!

JacquesHammer · 02/11/2019 09:00

Me and my DD are here!

RickOShay · 02/11/2019 09:05

Really Confused

Beerincomechampagnetastes · 02/11/2019 09:06

Come on England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Squigean · 02/11/2019 09:09

Jérôme Garcès as ref, Romain Poite as assistant ref, has an impending doom of a ruined final.

RickOShay · 02/11/2019 09:09

Not keen on the French ref already

AlunWynsKnee · 02/11/2019 09:10

Glad Sinckler was up and moving

Wizzbangpop · 02/11/2019 09:15

I can't watch

And of all the people to have a red

Wizzbangpop · 02/11/2019 09:15

To have as ref

exLtEveDallas · 02/11/2019 09:16

Watching but not really mn-ing. Too stressful!

Squigean · 02/11/2019 09:18

I was wondering if I was watching delayed and someone had a red card!!!

He's an awful ref. Twitter suggests both England and South Africa supporters feel the same.

massistar · 02/11/2019 09:18

England's passing been dreadful so far.

JacquesHammer · 02/11/2019 09:20

See the commentators are already doing their “England on the rough end of decisions” schtick.

I don’t mind Garces. Show me a ref who hasn’t made a mistake and there’s no-one to ref a match full stop Grin

MrsJoshNavidi · 02/11/2019 09:20

I just came on to say same. England's passing has gone to shit in a week.

massistar · 02/11/2019 09:23

I hate and love Faf de Klerk in equal measure. Such a stereotypical chippy little scrum half.

AlunWynsKnee · 02/11/2019 09:24

SA have had all the territory like last week. England need to calm down, start passing properly and stop SA playing in the. England half.

Wizzbangpop · 02/11/2019 09:28

Think England need to start contesting line outs. Realise it's a tatic but it's not working that well

MrsJoshNavidi · 02/11/2019 09:30

I hate and love Faf de Klerk in equal measure.

If he was in your team you'd probably love him. But I know what you mean.

Squigean · 02/11/2019 09:32

Yes, all refs make mistakes (even Nigel Owen's!!!), but there's mistakes and there's mistakes.

My objection is the game is going to be slowed down.

JacquesHammer · 02/11/2019 09:34

My objection is the game is going to be slowed down

Unfortunately much of that is England’s doing. Utterly woeful errors!

JacquesHammer · 02/11/2019 09:35

Im giving it to half-time, if it doesn’t get more viewable I’m switching to the league Smile

massistar · 02/11/2019 09:36

Definitely @MrsJoshNavidi . I bet he does a great job of winding other teams up.

massistar · 02/11/2019 09:36

@JacquesHammer does "physical and attritional " equate to a bit dull really?

JacquesHammer · 02/11/2019 09:38

Oh come on, this is dire Grin

I think 40 mins is a decent amount of time to give it to actually become enjoyable to watch. I’m not into watching for the sake of it.

Know exactly what you mean about de Klerk, so tenacious
