I was sitting here thinking what the Australian and New Zealand teams would be like without the Pacific Islanders. It’s such a shame that these players can’t find success with Fiji, Tonga, Samoa .... Maybe if these teams can continue to improve .....?
Come on Bokke!!!! Having lived in SA for 7 years, I feel I must support them (unless it’s against England of course!)
What a game! THAT is why the All Blacks are the best team in the world! Fantastic stuff. Off to lie down now ...... been up since 5.30
I was going to watch the England rugby match, but having just come back from a leisurely walk along the Torrevieja sea front and stopping in our favourite local bar for a beer, coffee for Mrs B, I noticed that the communal pool was empty. So, as we return to the UK Tuesday, it was a no brainer. There’s always highlights. Pleased that England got off to a good start though.
Japan are just brilliant to watch. So glad they have carried on so well from the previous World Cup despite losing Eddie Jones.
Even if Japan don't get anything from this game. They could easily cause an upset against the Scots. Gonna be a cracker that one!
