Re: Rugby Union World Cup
We would shout for both teams in that case being as my OH is half Welsh and half English.

Re: Rugby Union World Cup

Re: Rugby Union World Cup
Shame England won.
The other match I didn't really mind, grew up in RSA, uni and a soft spot for Wales. But Wales have had so many injury issues that if they had gone through they would have had a really hard time to beat either NZ or England.
So will be cheering for RSA in the final. I would have likes something like Japan/Wales final just to give Japanese rugby a boost and see a new name on the winners list whatever the result.

Don’t worry, we will certainly be ready to take the **** when you lose. And in the unlikely event you get past SA, we’ll take our glory from beating the “world champions” at the 6 nations like we usually do

Strange how you manage to do that when you actually have a negative head to head count against England?

Re: Rugby Union World Cup
Well, I’m Scottish, but I’ll be supporting England in the final (just like I would have supported Wales or Ireland if either of them had got through instead of England).
I’ve never understood the ABE* mindset...

No it's small minded and a bit weird, wonder if it's jealousy at having never won it or even troubled the final

Re: Rugby Union World Cup
Bet the bloke who paid £50k for a ticket is a bit pissed off !
SA better team by far, so Eng can have no complaints

Re: Rugby Union World Cup
Bad luck England. Took the opportunity to go shopping while the final was on, my local supermarket was pretty much dead. I can bet that they will be rammed now.
Now to focus on building a bloody good team for 2023 in France. Of the 12 teams already qualified for it, only 4 are previous champions. England, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia. Nice to see Japan will be back next time, wonder which big team they will upset next time?

Re: Rugby Union World Cup
The impact in RSA will be bigger than the impact in England would have been if result reversed. Here is hoping they can get rugby even more integrated.
