jacks09 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Thoughts on winners? Talking points? Big upsets....any tickets going spare???For what its worth - i think it's the most open for a long time. Any one of NZ, Aus, SA, Eng and Ire are in with a really good shout.....Ireland are 9-1 at the moment.....

JohnL Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Well Ireland are ranked #2 in the world right now.Helped by Wales putting out a scratch team on Saturday.

Alan Medic Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Not much difference in the average number of caps in each team, 28 v 22. Wales were less prepared for playing rather than being a scratch team. I don't think the rankings mean much, though if I were a Welsh fan I'd worry about getting out of my Group.

Sandy-Abstentia Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 thank you for your insightful contribution. perhaps you just want to murmur in the doctor's ear whilst you fondle his ovoids? is there a special EDF lounge for that predilection?

Alan Medic Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I doubt ????'s would want to fondle my ovoids. I've only got one for a start, it's a bit flat and it needs a wash. No special place for the RWC Predilection League. If there is one I'm sure it will be in the Lounge.As for watching rugby, I'd ask nearer the time and try the What's On section.

Mick Mac Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I imagine all the pubs will be showing the rugby as it's a good egg game and doesn't attract bad eggs to one's establishment. The Bishop is already advertising and Flying Pig shows rugby but not football. Oval ball snobbery is alive and well in ED and there will be no shortage of places to watch. We will be overrun with white red rosed shirts no doubt in a show of olympic esque proportions for once in four years rugby fans. Some not seen since 2003.

stacker285 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 All of the local rugby clubs will be showing the games involving the home nations and are usually very welcoming to newcomers.Flying pig seems to be the best pub for rugby these days though, after the demise of Hoopers and the old Mag Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/70336-rugby-world-cup/#findComment-887945 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he wanted ?1,200 each. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/70336-rugby-world-cup/#findComment-887993 Share on other sites More sharing options...
