Yeah. I like almost all sport, tennis being the most notable exception but there are others.Is anyone here interested
I just hope the middle east has the same attitude to rugby as BfB so they don't try and buy it!
More than interested.Is anyone here interested
I'm the exception that proves the rule.
Games that I'm definitely watching already highlighted (starting with France v NZ tomorrow, then Wales v Fiji on Sunday), then the 'would like to watch' games. I'll squeeze a few 'it's something to watch' games in as well.
8 weeks. Great.
Quite right. Get back to your spreadsheets.
I’m definitely interested and hoping for a good World Cup for Ireland. Just hope they haven’t peaked too early.
I think they have a good chance of winning it. Will you be unbearable if they do?
Ireland have struggled mentally by 'not having been there'.
This year's grand slam will have helped with that no end.
Some tough games to win it all, but don't think any side will fancy playing Ireland.
I dont mind the game. Its the Taffia and everything that goes with it I cant stand. Embarassments in daffodil hats , Max Boyce the obsession played up in the media that we are a nation of rugby fanatics and everything comes to a stop when Wales play.
Nothing against the players and the genuine rugby fans which are a small minority but Wales games are unbearable.

The demographics of the crowd have changed markedly over the last 20+ years. And I agree, not for the better.
I avidly watch rugby and have done at all levels, having played the game from 8 to 33. Dont go to internationals anymore though, but still watch on TV.
11 hours to go.
The rugby team are as bad as the football team but they are Wales so come on boys,maybe we will qualify for the knock out stages. 
Have to strongly agree with you Hilts.
I think Johnny Owen (?) summed it up perfectly in his piece on the City before our FA Cup final - rugby internationals aren't really sporting contests anymore for the majority of people who attend, it's a day out and an excuse to get pi$$ed up and behave like a lout (the type of behaviour football fans are regularly criticised for).
I went through a spell of partaking in 6 nations parties for a while whilst at a previous work place.
Quite a few of us would take it in turns to host and we'd all get together, drink, eat, watch the game and be merry.
All good fun but I never ever classed myself as a fan because I don't follow a club side or take much interest in the game at that level.
You have to cringe when cowboy hat wearing "ladies" screech at reporters that the luvs rugby aye.... yet barely understand the game
Back in the day, when internationals were on, club sides often played on a Friday night.Have to strongly agree with you Hilts.

A group of us Welsh men, who played for the same club (North Bristol) would go to The Memorial Ground with our wives to watch whichever Welsh club was playing Bristol. An entertaining evening out with a few beers before and after, somewhere on Gloucester Rd.
We'd often play Saturday lunchtime, then in the bar for the game, though if they were showing the England game it would be home or to a mate's to watch Wales.
Happy days.
I played on the Memorial ground a few times when we played Bristol 2nds.
Miserable old gitsHave to strongly agree with you Hilts.

I'm doing some painting. Planning an exciting 2 weeks or so. Repainting every day.
And watching it dry.
I will excuse myself from this chore on the evenings of 16th and 19th.

Much better looking legs and other bits on Strictly. And it's only on once a week.
