The Rugby World Cup

Wales v Fiji at the Millenium Stadium was awesome, only slightly marred by Wales getting their expected win. Still they didn't get the bonus point but I don't think that will be too significant.
Especially enjoyed the bar handing out carriers to take four pints to your seat at a time. Plus it's the first time I've watched a rugby game from an elevated position in the stands. Makes good viewing as you can see the positional side of the game better.

Roll on tomorrow. Can't see us beating the Aussies/qualifying but would love it if we do. Need a massive improvement though.

Are England out if they lose?

Trying to watch it but don't understand it, Australia got a penalty after the ref played advantage for about 10 minutes.

England getting battered

Yes - and the Aussies are giving them a real going over.
Looks like it's curtains

Lots of misplaced passes and hopeful punts up field. Just like watching Bolton.

Looks like they are fooooked

They've just replace there prop with a slipper? I'm confused.

What a let down.

Gutted! We were absolutely battered!

Shit game , shit team, fucking made up!! There'll be 140,000 rugby fans in Manchester next Satdy and half will have fuck all to watch!
Don't know how many tries 2nite but not enough! And that's bout looking. Rugby League is the finest game on the Planet by a country mile.
Go to your nearest pub at 6pm next satdy at 6pm and watch 34 men not take a backward step. Sport at its finest.

Get down to oakwood tomorrow to watch real rugby. My lad is captaining the under 7s against some pie eaters

Its only shitty rugby get over it.

I can take the Aussies gloating,but I have Welsh relatives,and I can assure you that my life is about to be made a misery.

Totally agree.

Hope you both have a fantastic day.

You must be very proud today Johnny.

Hope it goes well.

Thanks all. He did very well

Im surprised how much it had grown his confidence and how well he respects the coaches of both teams.

It really is brilliant for kids rugby league. Much better than footy for their age

Good to hear he enjoyed himself. As you know when they play on the Super League grounds before and at half time when games are on they are really buzzing.
My claim to fame was goin on the pitch with my mates at Burnden and takin a penalty, illegally I might add, and getting a bollocking off the stewards.

What a terrible weekend sports wise. Losing to QPR at the death and England under performing against Australia. The only thing that cheered me up was the Arsenal result.
