Rugby World Cup 2023

Potential belter of an opening match tonight between France and New Zealand, the best of the northern hemisphere against the best of the southern I reckon (though my money is on South Africa to retain their title).

Tricky group for Scotland but I reckon we've got what it takes to get to the quarters.

Also I wonder if England have just been trolling everyone and will actually come good at the tournament. It would be very funny if they didn't though!

I'll be supporting Argentina in the match against England. The Pumas have more Gloucester players. C'mon Glos!

Totally agree! France have beaten everyone past 12 months, and NZ last outing ... should be a cracker!

Boooo! for the first time i am worried about us getting out of the group.

Are ITV and the BBC sharing the matches? I don't have a TV, so I intend to watch the BBC shown games on my laptop. I notice tonight's game is only radio and text commentary, so I presume ITV have the TV rights for this one and the BBC will show a live game tomorrow on their Rugby Union website.

30c in Paris, this will be interesting.

ITV have the TV rights @Accy cyclist. Doesn't look like the Beeb even have a highlights package, which is pretty poor.

Allez Les Bleus!

That aged well

Always been a big fan of the Pumas and Japan, may need to temper this over coming weeks.

Heck, no Rugby World Cup for me then! Not even worth visiting the pub to watch it as the plebs only have football matches on the TV!!

Ireland to win! 🇮🇪

No idea why the Beeb aren't showing any games? Highest bidder wins i guess, so thank god Sky didn't.
