Coventry?

France will win, Ireland will be knocked out in the quarters as per tradition, and one of Wales or Australia won’t leave the group (hopefully Australia).

Oh and the media will still pretend England are world beaters in a bit of a slump.

Stuck a fiver on this.

I’m from County Coundon. Here is a still from a best wishes video we did for the lads.

They can't meet England until the Semis at the earliest and the English won't get that far to face the Ra.

It’s something every nation on earth will be saying, even those who don’t play rugby.

Bet dead after game 1. Great ?

Decent opener though. There is no one I prefer watching in Rugby than Dupont. Even as a very casual viewer, he has to be the best in the world doesn't he?

[Gus Mears]

That was a supremely stupid match and I loved it. Rugby is much better when there are drop goals.

Wales try to play expansively against Fiji and nearly lose. What a fucking shock. It’s almost as if no-one thought to look at 2007.

I’ve never identified with a player more than when Dan Biggar almost battered his thick cunt teammates for trying to run it back from their own goal line at half time.

What an incredible game of Rugby that was. Drama to the very end, and Ireland were immense.

Zombie by The Cranberries is certainly a choice to play at full time ?

Behold the dawn of a new era!

Ireland vs New Zealand was just incredible rugby. A fantastic match, and the intensity towards the end was unbearable.

I really thought this was Irelands year, but it wasn't to be. Poor old Jonny Sexton, but what a way to go out.

 

[TheBurningRed]

Gutted. Absolutely gutted. I really thought we were going to get a try at the end there. All Blacks defended out of their skin. 

I’m just going to root for Fiji now. 

[Keith Houchen]

Well gutted, too many missed opportunities in their 22. How many phases what that last push though? About 33?  I’m off to find Spurs Riot in an Irish themed pub so we can let the Guinness take away our sorrows. 
 

As an aside, I’m not a fan of this rugby haircut that they all seen to have. Like a mullet but without having the bottle to have a mullet. It can go.
