Will anyone else be following the Rugby World Cup. I am an avid follower of the sport. As we have people from many nations on this forum I think it will be interesting to chat about it a bit here. I am a fan of a northern hemisphere team but love watching trinations teams also. I noticed a few NZ's and Ozzy's about and I have no doubt they will be keen to add a view point or two. Wink

But, for the love of god, don't turn this into a PWT or a nationality slagging match, I figure if I can start a nice friendly chat thingy then people will soon forget all about the premium one. Confused

Feel free to discuss the merits of a rugby scout on a recruiting campaign also, perhaps it could be a usable modality. Nigeria does have an international side. Could we get a movie of a couple of lads trying to tackle each other or kick a rugger ball well?

Cote d'Iviore has a slightly more respectable team if it helps, although they are both shockingly bad in comparison to what we are accustomed to.

Come on rugby fans, own up. The world cup begins this friday btw for those who are curious. jump_4_joy

Looking forward to it. I'll be supporting England but The All Blacks will probably win the tournament. I'm just hoping Wilkinson's fit to play.

I'll be watching some of it. All Blacks fan, and have been since I was 6!

@Rodus - will he ever be fit??

It's gutting that one of our most talented players is consistently injured. I know one player does not make a team but Wilkinson has the ability to turn a match around.

Different sport, but Scotland are holding France 0-0 in Paris at the moment! Shocked

Nah, it won't last!

@ Hekate

I don't feel well. My head is swimming, I have a fever, and I am going delirious. I can't even see the result right on BBC sport.

Any idea what I should do?

Edit: I'm still seeing it as Scotland won. I know this can't be right, I must be going insane Sad

^^^It's amazing, Scotland beating France but good on them.

Argentina beating France Smile

I didn't notice this thread (oops) when I created one specifically on the RWC:

Not sure whether they should be merged somehow or my other one locked.

Go the All Blacks!

Just got back from watching the live first leg of the premiership snooker. Excellent stuff. Steve Davis v Neil Robertson was pretty dull but Ronnie O'Sullivan v Stephen Hendry (who won) was great.

They gave England a bit of a fright at the start of their innings too, Josh.

Yeah hopefully they might start to be heading in the right direction again regarding the quality of cricket they play. They've basically been an embarrassment for the past few years.
