FITZY: Well done my lovely, looks like you are in charge of this group.
BARATA: Where abouts in Wellington do you live??? I’m in Tawa.
AB’s all the way for me, as I’ve told others in another group, I support NZ and anyone else who plays Ozzie or the Poms. Would love to see Fiji kick some Pommie bum first game up, that would really set up that group as the first game of the RWC. So exciting now it’s only a couple of days away, there will be a few bleary eyes over the next few weeks, so glad I work from home with my 60″ tv in my Office 🙂 .
Count me in. Supporting Ireland, living in the midlands
BARATA were you torn between two lovers for the Autumn Internationals back in 2013? What a match?
AH I love your priorities when it comes to office accessories.
Life is what you make it, so I’ll watch it on my 32″ but thank my lucky stars that I have pause and rewind features on the remote control. Essential items when you have other family members who just don’t get the whole do not disturb thing. Nothing worse than being interrupted at crucial moments to be asked something ridiculous, like what time is dinner? ?
Gosh am I the only Wallabies supporter?? No wonder, we can’t win a trick. But I will be supporting them as I think we are all crazy down here.
Otherwise, I’ll be supporting the All Blacks.
Personally, I think the French have a fearsome pack…they’ll be ones to watch. Having said that, you can never discount the Yarpies.
It’s gonna be a great World Cup. Except for Australia 🙁
I will be at my Rugby club tonight to watch England (my team) beat Fiji. The club is having a Currie night so it will be a little heated. The down side is that I am on an alcohol free month (have lost 12 lb along with 4 fast days this month) so sparkling water for me and a testing time to stay off the sauce.
Well done, England, on the first win – and that bonus point on full time. 🙂
I have just done a check on the coaches at this competition, and come up with seven being Kiwis:
Scotland Cotter
Fiji McKee
Wales Gatland
Georgia Haig
Ireland Schmidt
Canada Crowley
and of course, NZ Shag (Hansen)
Have I missed anyone? Over a third, impressive 🙂
How many minutes of no action, sitting watching endless replays, did we have to endure by that usless Ref from SA while he couldn’t call a lineout without looking at a replay before hand. Hope that doesn’t set the bench mark for every game, Jaco Peyper would be the most useless Ref going around at the moment, heaven help it if the AB’s get allocated a match with him officiating.
Having said that did I see that Mr Barnes from England is reffing the AB’s match against the Argies ???
If in doubt he should not have awarded it until confirmed! As JW said what if the replay had not been shown until after conversion, will the media only play the replays they want? What if it had been an England try. He should have held his hand up in that he got it wrong but he had awarded it and it should have counted. Come on Ireland!
Hi everyone, I’ve been so consumed with all the coverage, I haven’t been on here. I done something today that might be of interest to some of you.
In true support of my lovely boys in green (mmmm, Connor Murray!), I wore my size 12 jersey, even though I wasn’t going anywhere to watch the match! Anyway it was a bit snug, certainly wouldn’t have worn it if I went to a pub to watch it. That got me thinking, why don’t I take a photo of myself today, and the same again at the end of the world cup in six weeks time? I think that’s a good time frame to notice a difference.
What do ye think?
Wasn’t it a riveting game HAPPYNOW? I am soooo pleased for those guys, and sooo happy South Africa lost. Mind you, it might make them sharpen their game and become more dangerous – they’re still likely to be through to the next round so they probably aren’t too worried. Embarrassed more than anything else I’d say!
The first game always the most nervous, a good win over a vastly improved team in the Argies, wasn’t Ritchie just superb !!! (tongue in cheek emote)
I was very impressed with the boys in Green in their game, albeit Canada isn’t the toughest team in that Pool however a good performance, the last game in that Pool will be a cracker to determine who wins and who comes second and probably plays the AB’s in the first QF.
It’s going to be a long day after being up at 4am, and it’s only the first week….
Hats off to you Action for getting up to watch live – we are recording and watching at a more civilised hour!! Richie may have deserved the walk of shame but I don’t think Conrad did. And poor Nehe had played such a good game til he fumbled that pass. He won’t forget that in a hurry. I’m sure Shag will be giving the boys a rark up and we’ll see a great improvement come Friday.
