Who on earth would bother entering politics these days.

Deary me.

Agree, Belgrade might just be the most underrated European capital.

Exactly, I'm more concerned about being ambushed by Argentina in the semis, to be honest.

Anyone got any tips for after the match in Stade de France? Other than standing around for many hours... You can get back into the city quickly enough, it doesn't take hours. Go to the RER station, the crowds look humongous but the trains hold a shit load of people compared to the metro and they ha...

There's actually a strong argument to start Earls ahead of Ringrose.

I'm not that classy.

Bethpage Black will be feral in 2 years.

Fine start by the Euro gents.

Scheffler is a phenomenal golfer but it is still peculiar that someone that poor at putting can make number 1.

He looks like a 'make a wish' kid who regrets what he asked for I feel a tad bad for him - his body language suggests he's not enjoying himself. Rose doing terrifically well, in the circumstances. I still think it was right to play him. The experience should give him a chance tomorrow depending on ...

I feel a tad bad for him - his body language suggests he's not enjoying himself.

Rose doing terrifically well, in the circumstances.

I would be strongly backing NZ to win from this position.

There are a maximum 4 games left across 5 weeks. It will full strength for every match from here.

Posting this on both threads. Class by Rassie. Rassie Erasmus @RassieRugby Congrats to the Irish and sorry🇿🇦!We will just work harder and make you proud! Also nice to be involved in a game so intense and physical without the referee getting too much invloved! Well done Ben and your team.Thank you🇿🇦...

Cheers, folks.

Wonderful atmosphere and good fun with the South African supporters across the weekend.

Paris in autumn; you can't beat it.

Don't care about the result - I just hope that everyone has a lovely time.

Partial maxillary? Just as I suspected.

Jaw or cheekbone? Jaw is surely more than 3 weeks, no?

I was astonished when Dupont came out for the second half - what was the point?

Will be a disaster for the tournament if he's out.

This is a great listen

Hobo Hooker - I bumped into our old Sligo second row in Nantes last weekend - he was in mighty form.

I betcha Kilcoyne will have a blinding cameo on Saturday.

Piddling rain in Paris, by the way.

I think there's too little between them for me to make a call.

It's honestly years since I've looked forward to a game more.

Willy on the block, I think we'll win by a very narrow margin - maybe 2 or 3 points.

I'll be there

Boks are reigning champs and, with France, have the most depth of talent in the world.

It will be a massive choke if you lads don't win by 40+.

Ireland favourites at the bookies and nr1 in the World Rankings. Marx out, Pollard not picked. Will take a massive effort by the underdogs against a magnificent Irish pack. :lol: The boks will smash them like guitars. You know it, I know it, the Irish know it. The springboks ain't some 6N side. Sto...

At the match and ready to provide live technical analysis

Far too drunk to actually do so

Difficult to see France coming back from here.

Depends on bonus points. Regardless, there's still a fortnight between those games for players who, if anything, need gametime. I think it's deliberate and Farrell is intentionally using Romania and Tonga as part of the pre-tournament preparation.

Going both barrels at the whole comp seems a bit mad. Is there another T1 team taking that approach? SA, France, NZ all making a lot of changes for their games. I still don't really understand the selection for Romania. Farrell obviously knows what he's doing but hope it doesn't backfire. Also from...

Shame to see Marx gone. If Etzebeth doesn't recover in time their tight 5 will be fair denuded for our match.

Jackman was saying yesterday in the Sindo that he though Farrell is looking at the WC as two blocks of games - pick his first team for 3 games, build to a peak for SA. Then a rest, and build again for another block (hopefully of 4 games) That's interesting. I didn't read the article but it is the e...

Tonga have a decent enough team to put a €5 bet down if you have issues with gambling and can't just enjoy watching sport. I haven't gambled in years - was merely surprised at the level of favouritism. Thought it would be a lot closer. That may come down a bit if we name a largely second string tea...

Surprised to see Ireland at -36 points in the spread for this weekend - Tonga can be backed at 40/1!

Go on, Fiji, you delicious bastards

Great half of rugby.

Argentina 3 - 24 Sheer Bloody-Mindedness.

Got to be backing Ireland to win from here.
