Oh lame I was expecting a Friday night game. I'm falling apart for the lack of rugby here

Will be in Edinburgh for the Australia v Scotland match actually. Any recommendations for places I could watch it around the city?

The street names are the highlights for me. Cheers for the list though Vaders. I'll be wearing an old school wallabies Jersey if I rock up to where you're going.

Also gently caress Quade cooper even getting on the bench

Australia have already played two good games in a row, their normal routine is a good game then a terrible game. I wouldn't be surprised if Scotland Japan Australia.

Argentina are looking deadly as hell. Ireland managed to crawl back a bit but I'm not sure they'll be able to keep it up

So Australia played like poo poo and didn't deserve to win but did. I just hope to god they actually turn up to play good rugby against Argentina

Terrible yellow card by the way. Did not deserve it. I had almost forgotten about it but it crawled back into memory as I remembered how badly Aus played. I'm so sorry Scotland.

1. Australia
2. Whoever is playing England or South Africa*
3. Pumas or All Blacks (SH supremacy!)
4. Who cares after this point

*not applicable if they are playing each other. In such a case I don't care who wins

One of my kiwi friends secretly goes for the Wallabies because of this.
She is sick of how arrogant and close minded some AB's supporters can be

Please don't reveal the existence of the cells of sleeper Australians in New Zealand tia

You know I've just realized I'm going to be sad once Richie McCaw retires. He's retiring after this World Cup right?

The Boks haven't been dirty for a number of years now

While they don't really slow down the rucks as much as they used to there is something incredibly frustrating when I see a springbok hardly rolling away. It awakens a primitive anger from deep inside me

I give a poo poo about the wallabies even if they're losing and so should everyone else in Australia :(

I support the Wallabies even when they pick Quade.

I don't understand why they pick Quade, because he is bad.

Don't hate wallabies supporters for Quade, pity us.

"GO WALLABIES!except Quade"

You know that episode of Futurama where Leela joins a baseball team and they have a clown on the team for when they're doing badly? I'm fairly sure Quade cooper is the literal equivalent of that clown and is only there for pure entertainment value to everyone who doesn't have a stake in the wallabies winning. I mean, he plays and comedy just happens. It's a mystery beyond him literally being there to keep viewers watching

Not liking McCaw is ridiculous. He's one of the all time greats. I mean, I watch him like a hawk and get frustrated when he does something cheeky but props to him for doing it consistently well.

Nigel Owens: True to Myself

Welsh international rugby union referee Nigel Owens talks about the pressures of the modern game, the private struggle with his sexuality and his love of the game and his family.

Owens missing a few key calls there leading up to the try, not his best game.

Regardless it was inevitable that the all blacks would get through. I can only hope the wallabies can eek in a performance and make it interesting in the second half.

The all blacks are like every sports movie's evil unbeatable team except they forgot the memo to lose against the underdogs at the end

We were handily trounced only to come back to make it interesting. Poor calls or not we all know who played better today
