If you're going to be a tosser, donate your ticket to someone who understands........... you'll be sitting by yourself in any case, as all your fellow guests will be watching the rugby rather than listening to you.

Mind you, in the Sevens version, it makes little difference which code you prefer........

Don't even think about it............

A 'sport' that has a World Cup that doesn't even have enough teams to make it a proper tournament??

England came third in their pool, and qualified for the semi-finals. Ireland WON their pool - and didn't qualify............

Good grief - not 'fixed' then??

The England group is an established nations group, the others are developing nations, no fun in seeing Scotland or Ireland getting 100 past them by the Aussies !

FFS - We struggled and we are supposed to be able to compete !

I am sure you will be cheering England against The Aussies in the final and celebrating a win !

Aren't they supposed to be laying on 150 buses including those double-decker jobbies?
