The Trials and Tribulations of the Rugby World Cup / myLot

One of the problems of being on a wonderful site such as this is that you make friends in countries all around the world. And this is making it very interesting for those of us watching the 2015 Rugby World Cup. My team, of course, is New Zealand's All Blacks, who currently have won both their games. @Inlemay and @bluesa from South Africa will be feeling better today, with their win over Samoa. It is good to see their team bounce back from last Week's loss, as they are one of our friendly rivals. @jaboUK won't be feeling quite as happy today though, with England's loss to Wales. That did make an exciting game to watch. New Zealand won the Cup four years ago and both South Africa and England have won in recent events. It all does seem quite up and down at the moment. I wonder who will win this years World Cup. Nothing is quite what it seems this year. Are you supporting any of the World Cup rugby teams?

I don't take rugby as seriously as cricket, but when it comes to the world cup I pay more attention than usual, so I'm hoping South Africa will continue to play like they did today.

And I'm hoping that the All BVlacks will play better than you all

@bluesa However = the statistics say that the All Blacks have NEVER won a WC away from home soil - So will this be the year they get there? time will tell - I think we must still keep our eyes on the sneaky French

@valmnz , I can appreciate that, we are proud Rugby nations, so I completely understand your focus is on the All Blacks making it to the final.

@valmnz , I am feeling better, but, yes, you are so right, nothing is quite what it seems this year. I am almost scared to see what happens next!

@valmnz @bluesa You're right - if England don't win I hope one of you do

We were going to try to watch the England vs Wales game but it was only on pay-per-view and it was $27.95. I told him, the next time he needs to find five friends who also want to watch and will pay an equal share. Then I will spring for the pizza.

Your husband is English isn't he? He's probably pleased now he didn't watch. But that is a good idea to share the costs like that. Ours is on Sky, a channel we pay a monthly fee for, so no extra costs for us.
