RWC 2023

Finally got in. Tickets available for matches involving minnows. I'm not going to make the effort for NZ vs Uruguay on a Thursday evening...
Anything decent "currently unavailable".
That's me out.
(As an aside, I've been to 3 RWC matches in my time: NZ vs Fiji in 87 at Lancaster Park, SA vs Eng 2007 final at Stade de France :(, NZ vs Fra 2015 RWC ¼ final at Cardiff. Me and my French mate almost sold our tickets in 2007, but we ended up saying what the hell and went along anyway. Pretty gutting when you had miraculously managed to get tickets to a RWC final in which NZ was heavily favoured to feature)

I did sell my finals tickets to some happy South Africans, and the same for the SF to English fans. I preferred to make some money rather than be a neutral at games I didn't care about.
I seem to remember that getting tickets via the official website wasn't that difficult back then.

NZ vs Uruguay at Lyon …. DONE!
At €175 a pop? At least it was only category 1 available when I looked.
Fair play and I trust you enjoy the match!

Final qualification tournament - how it works for RWC 2023

Pity that Kenya seem to be in some troubles at the moment but also glad that the US are looking good to qualify.
WR needs the US to get some backing and organisation before hosting and the rugby world in general needs their potential for fixtures and dollars to finally kick in for both the men's and woman's games. -
@Crucial Although I agree with that because of the RWC that they'll host, I'd prefer Portugal to qualify for the first time. The USA has had enough opportunities. I'd like to see a new team get a chance (that should have been Spain, but yeah, those eligibility issues)!

@mikedogz Oh, don't remember that. Still, that's ages ago. I'd still much prefer them to be there, but expect the USA to qualify.
Think we hit the ton v Portugeezers, but more noteworthy was Carl Hayman winning a lineout.

They sung their national anthem with a lot of passion too!
