[Football] A Rugby World Cup final win or a Brighton victory?

[n1 gull]

Rugby World Cup win for me. We will be fine this season, win lose or draw

Brighton win and an explanation as to why it is now de rigueur to call South Africans Saffers!

It's nothing more than a popular colloquialism or regional nickname like Aussie or Kiwi.

South Africans = Saffers. Just an abbreviation.

There's invariably no offence meant by those using the term 'Saffer', so none should be taken.

Anyway, here's to an England victory over the Saffers before Albion making it even more memorable.

Saffers call themselves Saffers.... nothing sinister there.

Albion win of course - have no interest in Rugby whatsoever.........

I'd have to go for an England win on this occasion, I'd have been all BHA last week, but this is a World Cup final.

I will be at Yokohama Stadium watching England win, then i'll be watching the tellybox somewhere when Brighton win.

Rugby World Cup Final win please!
I was at the 2007 Final in Paris when we lost to them so would love to see us beat them this time.

I never inferred there was anything sinister about it, just questioned why it's suddenly become popular on here to refer as such.

I used to play football with a few guys from South Africa, and quite honestly say I never heard them use this term to refer to themselves.

I guess I'm just not one for using collective terms for those from other countries, like I would never call an American a Yank, a Frenchman a Froggie, or an Irishman a Paddy...

If we don’t beat Norwich I’ll be mightily pissed off if England lose the rugby meh

 

[Driver8]

Brighton win. I have no interest in rugby.

 

[Brovion]

Both, like last week!

Failing that, England rugby win. A draw or a defeat against Norwich and we can go again next week. And the week after that. And the week after that. And so on until the end of the season.

And yes, as before I realise I'm in a minority.

I'm with you. Couldn't give a toss about the rugby and won't be watching it.

 

[Lower West Stander]

England win.

A far greater achievement than Albion beating Norwich at home.

A Brighton win. I have a mild interest in rugby but would rather see us win and get the points.

 

[Rogero]

Same as last week. Breakfast out, watch rugby, then up the Amex, and then celebrate two wins.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Can't believe anyone on here would chose anything but a Brighton win.

I would be disappointed for a few hours if we lost the Rugby.
I will be pissed off all week if we lose on Saturday and it will still rankle for the rest of the season.
Burnley, West Ham, Saints, Villa results are all still very fresh in my mind.
