Thought the actual organisation of this tournament (not the administration of it) has been brilliant by the way. Been to a couple of matches and have been mightily impressed.
Think the semis is a good run if we can get past Fiji.
Definitely be a positive if we make the semis. Don’t think SB is a bad bloke by any stretch and if we get a good run it’ll take the pressure of him immensely.
Can’t see anyone other than SA winning it though.
Off to Lyon and Lille for this. First game up is NZ Italy which I'm really looking forward to. Then down to Lille for Scotland Romania which is more for the pissup in Lille than anything else.
Glad I didn't get England tickets. Thankfully we have an easy group but I can't see us getting past...
