Now just 20 Days till kick-off

I'll jump in - quite like rugby, and this'll be a reason to go out and watch some.

I don't follow Rugby at all. But I never followed Cricket and was in that sweepstake so may as well get involved with this. Plus, unlike Cricket, Rugby is sort of watchable so I may even watch my teams' games.

Not being a watcher of sports, I feel about rugby how DL feels about cricket. It's not listenable, nor live-text-followable. But sure, I'm up for this.

As someone who doesn't like any sports that don't include Mario or remote controlled cars I'll put my name in anyway.

Yeah, I'm in.

Ooh - ooh - me - me!
Weird that some of the world cup is taking place in Milton Keynes! I didn't get tickets but will probably be able to hear a load of stuff, living near the town centre and the big park, where I think they're doing a load of fan things.

Put me in for that hot Fiji action too.

Rugby! I know more about Rugby than I do cricket, and although I don't follow it as closely as football I've always been a better player of rugby in real life. You just deck people, don't you?

Yes, I'm in

Nine of so far, that's a good turn out.

Talk of Rugby has already started in work about the build up games and if anyone is of for England v Wales on Sep 26th.

Sorry mas, don't mean to be an arse, but I'm not following you: Is of supposed to be on, off, or up?

Should be Off not Of.

We, of course, will be in Birmingham. Might be able to find a pub to watch it in while we're there?

I would gather it be on in the Hotel bar unless were in EGX at the time as I would guess it's an afternoon kick-off.

As soon as I read "champions of egg chasing" I didn't imagine rugby but giant dudes chasing boiled eggs with spoons.


That is all.

You don't want in Jas,

Rugby is quite often called Egg Chasing, one of the England teams twitter bios even says Professional Egg Chaser.

Nah, yer alright.

Stuart Lancaster named his England Squad today, not much longer to go for the opening game.

Still need one more person really for the sweepstakes.

I'll be number 10!

Woot!
I got France in the work sweepstake.

Well you better start liking France, Jimbob

Happy enough with my teams!

I'm not expecting anything from Georgia, but seem to recall (from them beating England a lot) that Ireland are a'right.

Oh, no - England.

Well that's not a good start - losing to England of all teams!
