We tried for tickets to envy
DH has a chart from last weekends paper with his chosen games marked off.
I do like rugby but ..........

We have a houseful of DH's Welsh relatives (herein after known as The Taffia!) staying this weekend, so it is a given that the rugby will be on, whoever is playing, and throughout the tournament. I don't mind rugby so will probably watch some of it.

Excellent, thanks for that Nonnie. Love it when they don't take themselves too seriously. I'll be watching and cheering too!

There's a bit of a furore up here with the ban on bagpipes! SonIL is threatening to take accordion instead but not sure how he'll smuggle that in!

Oh, I can't wait for the rugby! When I'm not busy with the new grandson that is grin
How do we think England's going to do? My money's on the All Blacks I'm afraid to say...

Alea - great idea, we'll try bribe tech with some of LucyGransnet's courgette cake and see what we can do.

Grannyknot - I am VERY jealous! We didn't get a single game so have been entering every competition going hoping to win a ticket. Fingers crossed...

Grannyknot Wed 16-Sept-15 22:52:23

Yes please! I'm very excited to be going to the SA vs. USA match at the Olympic Village.

Alea Wed 16-Sept-15 22:16:55

Hey GNHQ can we have a rugby ball for the Rugby World Cup please?????
