    @ Bullscot:No, in Stirling, but was at a wine do last night in Bridge of Allan. South African and his wife from Tulbach – no one interested in the wine unfortunately, the entire evening was taken up with the mouth watering prospect this afternoon. Oh yes, there was a snigger when the winemaker mentioned the Boks. I hid.

    @ Bullscot:Build up to Italy/Canada match on tv at the moment – are you watching it on ITV/STV?

    That’s good news especially considering the strength of the opposition he was facing today. Did a quick search and he looks like a strong player and initially thought he was maybe a bit short for 6 but then realized it is SA numbering so he looks perfect for that position. Seems to have moved around a bit so hopefully he gets stability in Bloem and can establish himself as a player, although it seems he harbours some ambition to go spend some time in the USA so wonder how long he will be playing rugby for.

    They are playing at the moment, kick off was at 15:00

    Score is still 0-0 as far as I can see.

    Are you going Eng or Wales?

    Great, can you keep the scores posted, as we aren’t getting this one over here.

    I’ll be rooting for England – probably the only one on RT!!!! You?

    Ok just when you said it was all everyone was talking about thought that you were in England at moment. Not much talk up here about that game that I am aware of. That’s a pity about the wine hope it goes better next time. You should never hide, the guy at my local garage joked with me last Sunday saying I was brave to go about with my Springbok top, I chuckled and said back no brave at all that now is the time to support more than before no point just being a supporter when your team is winning…

    I think you will be a happy man after that game then. Was initially thinking it could be a close game that may go either way, especially as Wales have the better coach and they could be playing against 14 for a time if Burgess hasn’t sorted out his tackling technique and gets pinged for it BUT there has just been so much disruption to them with injuries and England are at home with more depth in the squad. Plus I don’t think it is in the ‘script’ to ping Burgess if he does do his head high tackles. Be interesting to see how England backs get on without distributing Ford at flyhalf and Joseph at centre, think they may be going the more direct route but would be a shame if their outside backs don’t see much of the ball.

    72 @ Just For Kicks:
    Ah ok, a Pumas win or at least denying WP bonus points will be good

    @ Bullscot:
    Wales have really been hit hard with injuries, seeing as they can’t seem to beat the Aussies this is there WC here.
    Lose and they are out
