I've now discovered that the matches today are on ITV. Currently France v Argentina and later the big guns come out - All Blacks v Springboks. Tomorrow Ireland v Scotland - nail biting time. rugby

Hang on in there England! 10 minutes to go and score is 19-7! Can't have my shower till the match is over!

Cherry smile I agree, may the best team win. I'm that spectator that is thrilled for the winners and really sorry for the losing team!

I don’t want a Wales / England final

LullyDully Sun 20-Oct-19 22:22:58

My granny was up in heaven shouting for the Welsh. " Go on boyo. " She loved a good Welsh rugby match. Let's hope they get to the final. Looks like New Zealand may win finally.

Wouldn't it be great to have an England/Wales final. Doubt it will happen though.

BlueSapphire Sun 20-Oct-19 21:49:53

I shall be watching the England/All Blacks from behind the sofa.......

Cherrytree59 Sun 20-Oct-19 21:44:02

Not sure what Z A is, confused
I posted South Africa flag!

Cherrytree59 Sun 20-Oct-19 21:41:41

Grannyknot my late father loved South Africa and enjoyed watching the Springbok in action? ??

All I can say is may the best team (on the day) win.

My DH had got the jitters already with England up against the mighty All Blackssmile

Anniebach Sun 20-Oct-19 21:30:06

It will

Grannyknot Sun 20-Oct-19 21:27:41

South Africa - Wales next weekend. I shall be watching through my fingers, husband has already said it will be a tough game.

Anniebach Sun 20-Oct-19 20:17:49

Yes Cherry ?

Cherrytree59 Sun 20-Oct-19 20:12:34

Annie Hen wlad ??

Anniebach Sun 20-Oct-19 20:08:56

Cherry I did think I would have to sing Myfanwy but didn’t,

My rugby club days, Myfanwy when we lost and Hen Wlad when we won ?

Cherrytree59 Sun 20-Oct-19 19:26:58

What a match!! Annie ?dragon daffodil.

Sad when Scotland went out
not surprised

But loving that a celtic side has got through to the semi finals.

The TV commentator said that Wales had forgotten how to lose!?

Anniebach Sun 20-Oct-19 17:59:07

Wales ??????? Cymru am Byth.

David my daffodil was so stressed

PamelaJ1 Sat 19-Oct-19 14:34:13

They are loving it.??????? ??. We all wanted them both to win. We’ve got a foot in both camps.
I’ve blanked out the faces because I don’t put my loved ones out there on social media.

A very tricky match next week against the Kiwis! Will be behind the sofa!

JessK Sat 19-Oct-19 13:32:33

Oh my. What a performance by NZ. Ireland must be smarting and England have to try to beat them next week.

BlueSapphire Sat 19-Oct-19 11:04:31

Well done England, a convincing win over the Aussies. Through to the semis now, where they will play either NZ or Ireland. Swing low....

Barmeyoldbat Fri 18-Oct-19 22:37:23

I have a small Welsh flag sitting on the table when they play and I just love the singing. I ask how can I be Welsh and not be able to sing in tune, its not fair.

korol Fri 18-Oct-19 22:23:08

Tomorrow interesting rugby games are planned. Newcastle and Hartpury College will play. I've seen the games of these teams. Teams Play at high speed, perform clear passes. I love watching rugby too. I'm tracking the game schedule fscore.org.uk. But it is not always possible to watch the game.

mcem Sun 13-Oct-19 19:12:52

My thoughts too anno. I comforted myself by thinking that Japan needed the win more today than we did!

annodomini Sun 13-Oct-19 17:32:19

Gutted! It was a great match with just the kind of fast rugby I like to watch. Scotland weren't that bad but the Japanese players were phenomenal. rugby

newnanny Sun 13-Oct-19 16:15:15

I think that means Scotland are out.
