I like watching rugby. Not well covered in the US unfortunately.
Sadly true. At least for the World Cup every game will be on peacock though. And Ireland is off to a good start !
I don't think rugby is broadcast on conventional means in Canada. There are leagues/teams in the bigger cities but I don't think it's very common here. Great game for those that like this sort of stuff though. I worked with rugby players and they where constantly injured and having abrasions, ear injuries and all sorts of bruises. Must be very tough to play that game.
Yes, I am here, and hoping team Japan would be better than last time to go up to the tournament.

It's a savage game to play. At this level it's like being in a car crash. Incredible athletes.
Wishing all the teams and fans around the world a fantastic tournament. Happy to see a previously woeful England team beat Argentina with 14 men. Unexpected to be frank.
Have tickets for the final - very excited indeed
I wish your team well. The win against South Africa still makes me smileYes, I am here, and hoping team Japan would be better than last time to go up to the tournament.

Final tickets, very nice. I didn't expect England to beat Argentina like that, played very well with 14 men.Wishing all the teams and fans around the world a fantastic tournament. Happy to see a previously woeful England team beat Argentina with 14 men. Unexpected to be frank.

I think I am sucked in to following this. Watching Japan-Chile this morning. With no North American side to toot for I am adopting Japan to root for. My daughter's roommate is Japanese so that is as good a reason as any.
How wrong you were!

Yeah... fan here. Kiwi's got slammed by France, England won their whole game on penalty kicks. Australia beat Georgia, but not a big test yet for them in their pool. Will be a good month and a few weeks of Rugby it seems.

Thought y'all might like to know that.
Three rather super drop goals too
England have been struggling to make tries for ages, and leaking them at the other end. Defence was better last night, but no sign of a try.
Thought both head incidents deserved a red, not sure why the fly half yellow wasn’t upgraded. That said, I do worry that most damage is done with many, many, smaller repeated blows during training and on match day than the more infrequent head on head hits.
Very interesting England performance, I wonder if the drop kicks will come out again, or was that just an economic option given the one man deficit?

Unfortunately, not a great day from an English Rugby perspective
Very nice to hear so! We, myself and my wife, too are watching Japan-Chile with relaxation; at present Japan 35 vs. 12 Chile!
Edit:
Finished and we relieved; Japan 42 vs. 12 Chile, and 4-try bonus point was given to Japan. Also nice no-side, we are very much respectful for the first World-Cup challenge of team Chile.
Next, Japan vs. England on September 18 Monday in Nice!
Difficult challenge, but we are praying good luck for Japan.
Japan should be careful about really excellent drop goals of England team...
