Anyone watching. I have been since 3.30, the occasional 40 winks on the couch aside. Should have slept through the England game. Nasty stuff.

I was going to stay up and watch it but something got in the way.....................oh! that's what it was.....LIFE!

Why you'd stay up to watch 12 (is there 6 players on each side?) upper class inbreds throwing an orb around which is an exact replica of your nugget, Lord only knows.

How are Wales doing?  you are Welsh right?

Iain shut it. Easgach  England will improve I reckon and will top their group. France have huge potential and the also ran's will hopefully put up a good show.  I'm hoping Ireland's poor showing recently is all tactical but they are probably just shite.
Japan have been the team for me so far, what a brilliant team effort. Little guys with hearts of lions  :z14

never stayed up to watch,but watched highlights in the morning before work,scotland had a strong 1st half then they went to sleep 2nd half.
It is the same old story in every competition with england,all the hype is unreal,whether it be tiddly winks or football,1966 is their claim to fame,and the 1st team to defeat them after that was s??????d.
anyway,back to rugby.as a scotland fan i never expect to win any tournement,england cant help themselves,and with wilkinson taking conversions  :z4.ireland and wales are 2 very strong teams,but dont have the strenth and stamina to win this 1,early days but my money is on new zealand,with home advantage and brute strenth

I have been watching this, and was absolutely gutted when Wales lost. 

Reckon the Uk teams will get better, and hopefully can at least win a couple of games. 

Roll on next weekend.. 

At least they play with the proper shaped ball... :z18

Hi, Dutchfly,
                    I think they call that "Total Football " ..... :z2 :z2 :z2 :z2 :z2
       :z4 :z4 :z4

 I wonder why Holland are not in the Rugby World Cup though ?

 or Belgium ( Ok then ! ) , or Germany ????? .

Given the advances that countries like Italy , Romania , Japan ????  ETC. have made.

That's easy, Paul. Holland's only got about 8000 rugbyplayers. That's seniors, juniors and women combined. We'll never be a force in rugby...

15-6 over Georgia, so 2-0. Good start for Scotland. No matter if the play isn't superb, it's the result that counts. Holland played terrible for most of the soccer WC and still made it to the final.

Regards,

Jeroen

Never say never !  Look at Italy and the eastern Europeans and how they have developed.
Holland FT couldn't have played that terrible to make it to the Finals !!

Agree though that Scotland have ground out the results , much more solid against Georgia. Long may it continue !!!
I have a feeling that it may well be the bonus points that decide the Group though.

All the Best,
