RWC: AUS v ENG (Twickenham): POOL A; 6am (AEDT) Sunday 4 October

[Mr Doug]

I'm off to try and get some sleep. I have an important match to play tomorrow morning!
Catch you all then.

 

[ArmchairGeneral]

Getting pretty bloody excited!

 

[ChargerWA]

I don't know what the fuck I'm doing. I was going to bed early to get up at 2:45, but now I see SA v Scotland before and just wonder if I should try and power through.

Can't help but notice that your ticket depicts Nobody going full-tilt at Bill. Prophetic? As a fellow ANZAC I sincerely hope you at least make the SF

Yeah my little brother copped the Richie McCaw one by default as is my right as elder

 

[WOOLI]

Don't you worry about us. Apart from 13 were OK. Just concentrate on channeling your inner gnome to twickers

Don't know about my inner gnome...my convict past was Scot.

If Aus win tonight then Wales and AUS go through.

If not, it is likely that ENG will top the pool and have the armchair ride to the final.

Its a lay down misere that AUS will comfortably overcome Wales.

So Wales supporters should be going OI! OI! OI!

 

[Dai bando]

yeah like England you should beat us easily just don't be too disappointed if you don't tho

I'm sorry to say we are responsible for that chant

I'm sorry to say we are responsible for that chant

Not that it's a crowning achievement, but I believe the Cornish also claim it.

Maybe we could change it to OZ! OZ! OZ!

You're gonna witness history armchair! I'm gonna witness it too from my lucky armchair

 

[Quick Hands]

Just received an e-mail from my French mate, all of France is sweating on an orc defeat.

I think the most reliable way to rate the scrums of Wales/England/Australia is to see how they performed against Fiji. All three just resorted to good honest scrummaging against Fiji and the results were interesting. You'd have to say Australia looked the best. unfortunately i doubt we'll see a lot of honest scrummaging from England tonight.

The Welsh pack is massive, so I don't know how they were beaten in that area by fiji.

Fiji have a devestating shove. Lots of fast-twitch athletes in the scrum.

 

[TSR]

Hopefully all of France includes Monsieur Poite.

Oggy oggy oggy!

My son's Cornish rugby team used to chant that before games.

 

[Groucho]

Not that it's a crowning achievement, but I believe the Cornish also claim it.

They do. An oggy is a pasty. The pasty sellers used to shout Oggy oggy oggy! down the tin mines. The miners used to shout back Oi oi oi!

A Kiwi supporting the Wallabies. It's like seeing an endangered bird. A rare sight indeed

Good luck sleeping. See you in the morning. Bring your beta blockers and calcium channel antagonists.
