  100. What a lovely prize!!!!! I thought New Zealand would win but I now think the final will be between Australia and South Africa. Both teams have played well in the early stages (apart from the SA hiccup) and both deserve to win.
    Well done to England for their heroic, though unsuccessful, effort and well done to Japan for challenging the giants of rugby.
    Rugby is the greatest team game on the planet!

    ReplyDelete
  101. They may be out shortly but I still support, and my little boy has supported too and taken up Rugby with his local club! Fingers crossed.

    ReplyDelete
  102. I think Japan might have a chance!

    ReplyDelete
  103. It's such an exciting physical sport :-)

    ReplyDelete
  104. The players... PHWOAR! ;)
