It was fun while it lasted.

That's what she said.

One more thing: i wish they'd make the score-box larger in the corner of the screen: i can't see a damn thing without me specs on.

Amen to that!!!
The BBC ones are far superior with addiional information, e.g time remaining in the sin bin.
I struggle to read it with my specs on. As I remarked t'other day, I need bigger glasses, and some smart arse quipped "wine glasses".

Owen Farrell given captaincy for the rest of the campaign.

Trouble is, the BeeB don't have the live games on so we're stuck with adverts, endless waffle and tiny numbers in tiny boxes.
Wine is only appropriate during a France match. Guiness for Ireland; Scotch for Scotland; Warm Bitter for England, and frosty sheep pee for Welsh games.

Oops, I broke the mould. I had whisky while watching the French game last night.
And I ddin't have any whisky t'other week while watching the Scottish game, so I think I went without.

 

[Odds]

It's more of a guideline than a rule.

A fun drinking game will be to sup up each time England kick on during the match against Chile.

I see Dupont has fractured his cheekbone in last night's game.
This will have a big impact on France's remaining games.
I suspect he'll be out for the rest of the games in this WC

South Africa v Ireland 8 pm today.

 

[gant]

Good match, running rugby and if South Africa had took two relatively easy kicks it would have been a draw.
Didn't really tell us much other than they're equally matched sides.

Didn't really tell us much

Other than Ireland won.

 

[gant]

True.

Proper Test Match rubgy. Hard running through the middle and only when they managed to get the ball wide did they get across the line. Ireland need to get the lineout straight and SA could've won it with better kicking but take nothing away from the Irish defence. They were immense. Sixteen wins on the bounce. Now the Scots have to beat 'em next week to have a chance of going through: they couldn't, could they?

 

[noseall]

they couldn't, could they?

Probably hold it together in the first 40. I reckon a 15+ point margin in the second 40 though.

I put a tenner on Ireland to win the world cup last month, yesterday was always going to be a tough test for them and they came through it, If they avoid loads of injuries I can't see anyone stopping them going all the way now, their side is the strongest northern hemisphere team I've ever seen.
