Rugby

I watched England lose to Australia.

So did I. #ABE

Fitzy? Won't come much better than that, he seems well turned out on the telly box

Just heard O'Brien's citing hearing is still going (started 1pm?). I'm not quite sure what his defence has been. But the lawyers must be really dragging this out!

Edit: They've just released the result - 1 week ban, missing the Argentina game

Was just about to go and check. He got off lightly, silly boy.

Thank fuck....

We'll have that. Should be able to get past Argentina with the replacements, inshallah. A fit SOB in the semifinals will terrify anybody.

Fit and with something to prove to the gaffer.

Lasted longer than England's WC

I've already upset my old man by saying that same thing!

Lucky bugger though. The two Scottish lads got 3 weeks each.

POC on his international debut:

“I don’t remember it. I tackled Craig Quinnell and he knocked me clean unconscious with his elbow. I played on for 25 minutes, scored a try and then, eventually, with seven minutes left in the first half, I came around. I didn’t really know what was going on and so I walked off the pitch. The doctor was asking my phone number and holding up his hand and saying how many fingers? I looked up at the clock and it said 2 minutes 19. I told the doctor: ‘Mick, I’m not coming off after 2 minutes 19 seconds.’ Mick said: ‘There’s 2 minutes 19 seconds left of the half. You’ve played the whole half. You scored a try.’ I argued with him: ‘I didn’t score a try. You’re only saying that to get me to come off.’ That’s when he said: ‘Look, you’re not going back on.’ I saw the video later and I did score but I have no recollection of it”

Still got it

Lol ^^^

<insert cherry joke here>

Really hope Wales put in a huge effort and manage to pull off a win.

@7VEN how you feeling for the All blacks? Its like Deja vu...!!

Very nervous! I have yet to see the intensity or passion needed in this side to win a RWC. Unless they've been holding something back, I think they'll be in trouble. The French will be giving it everything. Hopefully, not a repeat of 99 though. I remember waking up in the middle of the night to watch that.....

What a drop goal from Biggar to put Wales into the lead at half time!!!!!

Wales have been a bit naive around the breakdown so far and look a bit tired, but still doing well. Need to compete for abslutely everything after the break.

Can't watch!

So many penalties in the breakdown.

Thats game over.

Only galling thing is they didn't look like scoring. SA probably edged it on their second half though.

How good is Savea!?!
What a start. Explosive! Backs plentiful and getting it wide. Woeful French defence.

Dan carters offload bought a tear to my eye. But Savea take on the back line, that's legendary status.

I wish I was a Kiwi sometimes!
