Is anyone else following the competition?
What a day it was today - had you asked me yesterday I'd have sworn there was no chance today would result in anything other than a New Zealand vs Australia semi-final, yet here we are with England vs France. Excellent!

I'm still extremely unimpressed with the Figi incident.

Watched the England game - definitely deserved the win.
Missed the NZ game - shocker! - but France are marginally easier for us (although I'm not sure we'll win)
Saw the end of the SA/Fiji game - Fiji are brilliant to watch, but lack overall discipline/'tier one' concentration. For a gorup of players who literlly have to leave home to play their sport, they are a credit to the sport (apart from the odd high tackle!).

Is that a variation on the Boris Johnson tackle?

Boris would certainly do well going head to head with most of the big lads! 
But, we beat the Aussies... why couldn't we beat France?

England vs France. Now there's a match I may make some effort to watch.  The only problem is; who should I support..?

I think I'll cheer for Frangland. (Or go with the old classic of whoever wins!)

Humph. What a surprise!!! What does everyone have against the English (apart from the slavery, imperialism, desire to quell the 'natives', generally being arrogant...)!!!

That would win it even if you didn't have all of Max's reasons
However, slightly overdue but i'll say it anyway....
Yeaaaaaaaah, for Wales!  I'm looking for that all great final of Wales verses England, whereupon the Welsh will totally wipe them out!
