The OFFICIAL Rugby World Cup thread (2011)

I just checked the fixture dates and it's a total washout.

Forgot it was in one of those upside down countries, games starting at 2am,4am and 8am???

Madness, they should play it in a proper place.

I know - it's going to take some serious committment/organization to follow it over here.

The Aussies looked really good in the tri-nations final.....

[Seshmeister]

I'll be able to see all the games but without the atmosphere of seeing them in the pub which is disappointing.

Really.

Now you know how we feel everytime; setting that bloody alarm clock every night, then rocking up to work the next day feeling a bit sleepy-eyed...or with quite the hangover too if your team managed to win.

But surely the pubs over there would be open all round for the Scotland games, right?

[Seshmeister]

I don't think so, maybe if they got to the semi finals.

[binnie]

They will be in Ireland, but not Scotland.

[Grant]

Damn, that bites.

[Seshmeister]

Could they not just change their time zone for the duration to fit with the vast majority of viewers?

I bet most of them are used to staying up all night during the lambing season anyway...

[Seshmeister]

My Picks For Pool A.....New Zealand And France.
Pool B....Argentina And England.
Pool C....Australia And Ireland.
Pool D...South Africa And Samoa.

Your Picks.

You fucker! Go and check your family tree traitor!

I'm 1/8 Scottish.
