Rugby World Cup - England vs Wales, Twickenham 20:00

[TomandJerry]

It occurred to me, the crowds at this WC have been enormous. Elland Road looked nearly full for Canada v Italy and Villa Park was full for the next Boks game.

That they're much higher than 1991 when we last hosted it doesn't come as a surprise. But what is surprising to me at least is that the crowds actually look big compared to our last hosted football tournament, Euro 96.

Rugby is a BIGGER sport

The defending by England is ferocious, absolutely frightening at times

Dominated the scrum and line out, North hasn't figured but still only 7 points up.

I've got my ticket for Twickenham today and will be heading up early to watch Samoa send the Springboks home after round 2. Biggest game for both teams in a long time. I had a dream last night we crumbled and were 22-0 down at halftime.

Well you were far off with the first prediction hope it continues

Every time Wales chip into the lead, our forwards get the ball up the pitch, draw a penalty and Farrell isnt missing.

Stop giving away penalties England!

They're dropping like flies.

New Zealand will be loving this group, these three giants knock the sh1te out of each other leaving the door wide open.

 

[TomandJerry]

More players down

 

[TomandJerry]

Oh no...

Superb try, that
