Rugby World Cup

This should be good fun.


I think I'm looking forward to it more than the last footie world cup to be honest.


Of course Ireland are in it which is a bonus :)) but so are all the home nations, which gives everyone an interest in it.


So all English, Welsh, Irish and Scottish.......enjoy.

We'll be watching - as a kiwi I'm nervously supporting the boys in black, and hoping that this will finally be the year they don't choke! Mr Pickle supports Scotland, the kids are quickly learning to support whichever team wins.


The first England game is being played in a brand new stadium in my home town, exciting for a small NZ city to get such huge media coverage.

Looking at the draw, if there are no upsets, England will win their group and face France than Australia. A huge effort and a good dose of luck could see them in the final, unfortunately I think it will then require something not far short of a miracle.


Windom (very jealous btw), Scotland v Georgia could be a great game. Ten more minutes in the last world cup and I reckon they would have beaten Ireland and Scotland's pack is not the biggest.

Oh England, what was that? A win, but not a nice game at all. On the plus side, didn't the new stadium look lovely!


Poor Mr Pickle didn't have a good start to the day watching the Scotland match, thankfully they redeemed themselves towards the end.

Very true, and that's a bleddy disgrace. The Japanese at least have the excuse that rugby is a new sport to them.

Not really - they played in the last 5 world cups and bid to host this one and have lots of clubs out there.


Also all the home nations have had foreign players qualify by residency - some not even legally (remember Wales and 'Grannygate' back in 2000?).

    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
