Oh Stephany! My commiserations on France's defeat last night  I wasn't going to watch any of it but kept flicking over to check the score and in the end I left it on. With France leading the scoring for most of the game, I really thought they would win. I don't know much about the game, but it seemed to me that for much of the game the ball was hidden under a mountain of players  . I did think it was very sporting though, when England scored the try right at the beginning and the England player patted your guy on the head as if to say "sorry mate, but I had to do it!!" Also at the end when they shook hands. That must be very hard for a loosing side. Anyway Stephany, I hope you've cheered up a bit now. Some say that playing a Hayley CD or DVD is very therapeutic  Love Grant xxx |

Also at the end when they shook hands. That must be very hard for a loosing side. Grant, it is a very special game, quite unlike the round ball variety. I refereed two (youth) games today. The second was Bedford Under 14's against Ruislip Under 14's. In the second half I sent off a Ruislip player, not for disagreeing with my correct decision, but for swearing at the referee and continuing to do so. (Once they reach 19 they realise that you never even think about swearing at a referee). At the end of the game, he came up to me, shook my hand and said "sorry Sir". Now, would you ever hear those words on a football pitch? In rugby, any disputes with the referee are resolved after the game, in the bar (although not necessarily at the Under 14's age group). I think every Englishman who follows rugby was feeling a little bit tired and tetchy this morning (probably through over indulgence). I cannot imagine how every French rugby supporter was feeling. |

South-Africa against England for the Rugby World Cup final, and Argentina versus France for the third rank match. I've already seen that somewhere England and France really need to take their revenge i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifStephany |

Salut Stephany! Ma commisération!  I'm sorry France lost the semi-final. Both teams played good rugby but England was a little bit better last night. Congratulations England! I hope you win the final now. I'm watching South Africa vs. Argentina at the moment. That will be a very hard final vs. South Africa next week but I hope you make it. Stephany, France still can win the last match for the 3rd place. So, Vive la France!  You can beat Argentina! Love, Thomas  |

Hi Grant I interpreted that gesture as "Thanks mate, that was a gift!" i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifMartin |

Belinda Hi everyone,yep Belinda your right,thats about the size of it. The best team on the day is going to be the eventual winner. It could easily go one way or the other. Me? I am taking England to take this one out ( hopefully) they have a lot to play for after all England are the cup holders at this time  so,
cheers, Rodders |

Hi Stephany , Sorry to see your team lose against Argentina 34-10but at least our teams were all in the final 8 and i think that means they don't have to qualify next time but what do i know  Belinda |

Hi Belinda - I just came back from the pub and I'm very, very disappointed by what the boys showed to the world. Not really a good image of rugby 4th of this World Cup is not that bad but they should have done better given that we were hosting it. Stephany |

So they are out like everyone else

Hi Stephany, If New Zealand didn't win because Hayley wasn't singing for them, how do you expect France to win if you go swanning off to the pub for the evening?  Roger |
