    Last time I went to an international was a six nations two years ago at Cardiff.

    Wales V England. England won, I supported Wales.

    There's your answer I guess but I might react differently to a world cup final.

    No, I'm definitely not.

    I don't see why people are so surprised really.

    Wasn't remotely interested in rugby union before I came to Wales and only got into it by watching Wales games.

    Doesn't mean I don't want England to win their other games. Although I've no real affinity with them.

    Theres a typhoon on the way and it may affect games including France v USA. If they can't play the group stage games they don't get postponed they just get a 0-0 draw. Seems incredibly unfair but not sure what else you can do.

    It'll open England's group right up for teams chasing 2nd. England will have a massive advantage as they've already hammered the weaker teams and got max points.

    Doesn’t change anything for England. It just brings Argentina back into the frame.

    If France beat England, they will more than likely still top the group.

    Yeah England will most likely top just think it would be unfair on France who will still think they could win the group.

    Not really. There are multiple teams across the groups who don't know yet, nevermind the order.

    Anyway I like watching the minnows play each other.

    No such thing as too much RWC

    Uninspiring, disjointed performance from England against 14 men. Will have to play a lot better to get past the QF stage.
