Not been many close games so far this WC… I think it's been quite boring, too much fucking kicking. Samoa were excellent earlier especially upfront, still don't know how England won that. Been dragged out as well |

It means the thing goes on forever. |

Well happy for Portugal getting their first ever win. Gutsy performance that.

Portugal have some fantastic backs. The IRB need to start pumping cash into Portugal and Georgia if they’re really serious about growing the game.

The only problem with the Rugby World Cup in comparison to say football is the fact they have to allow a week between games from a health pov. It means the thing goes on forever. It’s more how they have structured it for me. Scotland played week 1 then didn’t play again for 2 weeks. Need to try and have more mid week fixtures etc |

Need to try and have more mid week fixtures etc Spot on, the scheduling was terribly unfair to smaller teams. Namibia had played their entire tournament before some bigger nations had played their second game. People were saying they're awful, and obviously they're minnows but they had to change their entire XV after each game. Same goes for Romania. On the 6 Nations topic, I've read there are discussions about the Boks joining up at some point in the future. I think having the SA teams in the URC has definitely improved the overall competition, it benefits all the international unions to get more consistent exposure to North/South styles of rugby + atmospheres. |

We need a mini tournament for that 6th spot in the 6 nations There's been talk of it. Will hopefully see something at some point in the near future. A few teams that would make it competitive. |

Georgia have been targeting Italy for years. But the emergence of Portugal, plus the fact they play really good, expansive rugby, makes them very appealing. |

Threw it away in typical fashion. Lineouts and discipline costing us yet again.
