    Any interest here?

    I am certainly more of a footie fan but I am sure I will catch a couple of games

    France vs the All Blacks on Friday to start the competition, looks like a nice encounter.

    But I will be donning my tartan scarf to shout for Argentina against England on Saturday.

    Have to say since coming to live here I've lost some interest in watching most sports even the big events. Back in Scotland I'd watch them all Football, Rugby,Golf,Tennis,Horse Racing I could go on.

    No idea why I lost the desire to watch them as I'm sure I could if I really wanted.

    I'm a big rugby fan and will also be supporting the Pumas on Saturday because any side beating England gives me much pleasure, being Welsh.

    I have very little interest in sports, but for my husband, it is always torture to miss the entire season of Collegiate football when we are in Argentina. We just have never found any way to get it in Buenos Aires, streaming or otherwise.

    A superb victory for France over the All Blacks in a tough game, where French sparkle came through in the second half.

    I prefer the All Blacks to France to be honest. However if France were the better team good luck to them. :thumbup:

    England beat Argentina 27-10 in a match ruined by Tom Curry's 11 minute red card which most sane people regard as an accidental collision.

    The Pumas literally fell apart and George Ford kicked every single point for England with three drop goals and four penalty kicks. That in itself was quite remarkable.

    And if up against it, Scotland could always change uniforms, switching to their kilts and front-mooning their dumbstruck opponents yet again.

    Ireland beat S Africa in an intense battle of the giants and the best match of the tournament so far.

    Talk about clash of the titans. I was knackered just watching the game!


    ...and England thrashed Chile 71-0.

    Yawn.

    Wales humiliated Australia yesterday almost as if the Aussies didn't turn up for the game.


    And Scotland put in a great performance in a really exciting game.

    That mouth looks like an exaggerated version of Edward Munich’s original.
