Rugby World Cup

All very good reasons... I'm just enjoying the games - can't say Mrs P feels the same way! I fact the Paloma Faith "It's the world in Union" lyric is going through both of us!

Australia 35 Scotland 34 you can't get closer than that.

What a game. I think the tenacity of the Scots rocked the Aussie game. It's a real shame that they went out in such a fashion.

True cj the scotts had them worried, not into rugby myself but being such a close game had to see if the scotts could cause an upset.

Great performance by the Scots, was absolutely gutted for them. Despite the good performance from the tartan brigade, I think that match shows just how vital Pocock is for the the Aussies to dominate the breakdown. If he's back, I see an exciting and tight antipodean clash in the final, if not, Kiwis will win practically unopposed. That's my prediction, at any rate.

I stopped and fixated on the last 5 minutes, to the detriment of my carpet that now has a massive pain splodge from the brush I forgot about!

I was so angry at the penalty awarded and so disappointed for the scots, who I have never cheered for that hard! AND I'm 1/4 Australian!

scots played out of their skins and beyond their perceived ability. Challenge now for them is to maintain forward progress and use the RWC as a platform for the next challenge; not being wooden spooners in the coming 6nations.... Recent form suggests its far from likely, but it wouldnt be the first time scottish rugby has peaked then troughed straight up....

arguably the RWC has done england a favour as they exited with next to no injuries and a few stark insights into shortcomings..... Speed to & at the breakdown being prime.

Any predictions for this weekend? Almost certain of a NZ victory this and next...

Think it will be close the way both teams are playing.

Hmmmm - I will say, I'm not entirely convinced that they deserved that win... They still have a lot of handling errors and their penalty give rate is huge!!
