Rugby World Cup 2015

I actually enjoyed that Wales game yesterday, and I'm not really a follower of rugby. Fiji made it tough. What I find with this sport is I can't watch teams, however good they are, stick 70 points on a bunch of part timers. So it's good when games are kept close. I know Fiji don't fall into the same category as a Uruguay for instance, but I certainly won't be wasting my time by watching the All Blacks thrash Georgia.

I'll more than likely watch England-Australia tomorrow night though.

Unlucky, thought there was knock on in that last Scotland try but didn't quite have the energy left in them. A couple of bad decisions with the ball - two or three times throwing the ball away straight to Scots when on the break - that if they'd kept better might have caused an upset. Hopefully another good match to follow.
