  Howzit everyone

  I watched the hosts England play against Fiji last night, and although they won 35-11, they made a right old meal of it.

  Their passes and tactical kicks looked good in the beginning, as did their scrumming, but they were lucky in my opinion to get the bonus point.

  My team (South Africa - The Springbokke!) are playing Japan (!) in about 3 hours time.

  Anyone else here mad about rugby?

  Cheers,

  Peter

  I'm moving to Japan.

  I cannot believe that we lost. We were beaten in every aspect of the game.

  Yup and good for rugby. as lets face it, it is a minority sport in world terms. Even in most of the countries of the top teams it is a minor code, so a result like this will give it some exposure.

  We will forget that half the team are expats, (and coaching staff) was a great effort, but one loss early on is not the death knell.

  Thorougly enjoyed the finale to the South Africa v Japan match.

  Thrilling end with bravery being rewarded big time. Made for great viewing.

  
  Looks like yet another eventful Scottish sporting soiree is about to unfold.

  Yeah we got spanked good.

  Dunno what's going on with our team. A few weeks ago we were beaten by Argentina as well.

  England so far looking like the team to beat.
