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

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!

Oh dear, didn’t see this thread. Congratulations to England and commiserations to New Zealand.

Maybe an England v. Wales final? What are the chances?

Wow! Never seen the All Blacks play so badly and England so well!

The writing was on the wall psychologically when the arrowhead Hakka was matched by an encompassing V from England, showing they had them covered!

Well done and I hope Wales win tomorrow for a brilliant British northern hemisphere final next Saturday rugby

I don’t think Wales will get through to the final. Sorry Welsh grandmas.

Pantglas2 Sat 26-Oct-19 12:27:41

You’ll be right if the play as badly as they did against the french Urmstongran!

LullyDully Sat 26-Oct-19 15:11:43

Don't rule out the Welsh yet.

Wonderful match. The joy of being half English and half Welsh is that I can switch sides and support both teams.

lemongrove Sat 26-Oct-19 16:10:31

Only caught half of the match due to visitors arriving, but recorded it to watch later....what a great game, well played England.???????

LullyDully Sun 27-Oct-19 10:56:26

What a shame for Wales. A tough match well played.

merlotgran Sun 27-Oct-19 11:00:53

Hard luck, Wales.

Chatting with our Michelle (remember her? B'mouth, beige cardies) this evening and she tells me that NZ newspapers today have totally black front pages!
Not very toilet friendly! grin

Commiserations to Wales. They played well and it could have gone either way.
