I'm not, obviously haha.

No vuvuzelas, though. Which is always a relief, so I won't be too angry if they win 😂

Has the feel of a game where Argentina will just manage to hold them at bay, so you should be fine.

To be fair , I work at a university here that has produced some of Japan's rugby players. They seem a decent sort, so I wouldn't begrudge them the win.

As for the national football team. No 😂

27-36 now.  Thoroughly enjoyable rugby.  Mistake ridden flamboyance best sums it up, brilliant.

Definitely far more interesting than watching England.

I'm supporting Wales for my mum. She's half Irish, so if Ireland win, it's also ok by me.

A perfect summary of the game.

Interesting what pressure does. Fiji have a big half now.

Look safe now.

But if I’m England I’m targeting the high ball against them as they have not been great under it.

Yeah, amazing stuff at the end and you could see how much it meant to them. Shame about the female commentator who was really getting on my nerves, so switched over to RTE.

I know England only squeaked by Samoa but Fiji have had two really shoddy performances since beating Aus. England have got to be favourites.

Well done, Portugal. What a great tournament they've had. The campaign to replace Italy with them in the 6 Nations starts now!

We listened to the game on the drive back from the NFL with Aussie commentators who were making it sound like 80 minutes of the start of Barbarians v New Zealand 1973
