Did you know that scientists have proved that using the vuvuzela and watching soccer causes extreme impotence Grin Grin Grin
Well 29-3 to the All Blacks at half-time. Poor Tonga! Massacred!

I went to see the opening fireworks about an hour ago and just came back home. They were quite spectacular. I'll upload the video I took to YouTube and post the link here when I have.

Tonga played much better in the second half and got their best ever score against the All Blacks. So opening game 41-10 to the home side!

Is Kenya there? Or did they get booted... Again Undecided.
I used to play rugby. Tackling the fastest runner was always the favorite part Smiley Cheesy
 

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

Kenya aren't in it this time.
I used to play right wing as I was a large chap and a demon sprinter. Loved playing rugby, a truly civilised game Cool

If you see my channel, you'll notice most of my videos are from FSX. Smiley

Egg chasers!!! Sorry but i just cant get into this. We used to go to Twickenham regular with work delivering things THEY had ordered and got jerked around so much you wouldnt believe. Some very 'funny' people work in Rugby it seems. Being polite doesnt cost anything, and as far as they knew, i could have been the biggest spender at Twickenham Rugby ground in the world when i wasnt at work. Im no ones slave!

Going to the game is one thing, dealing with those who 'run' the facilities is quite another, and i for one am glad i dont ever have to go back!!!

However, my little rant aside, enjoy the egg chasing world cup Grin

Agreed a lot of the people "involved" with rugby are jerks, the guys that play it and watch it as true fans are alright.
That is the problem with public schools in England...
