RWC Final: All Blacks v Springboks

I'm fucking buzzing.
Went out and bought a bunch of All Black shit I don't need (jacket, beanie, backpack) so I can 'travel light' (my excuse to the wife) when actually I just plan to wear black all week.
Will literally fly around the world in the next 7 days. I'll be on a flight tomorrow, will arrive, sleep for a day, then have the 3rd/4th game and final with one of my best friends in the world.
Day to recover from an all time hangover (for better or worse), then back on a plane.
We have a bunch of really nice bottles to drink and reservations for lunch at a couple of neat out-of-the-way little restaurants.
The result will likely change the ultimate enjoyment, but this feels like one of those weeks in life where it feels like showing up to work everyday is actually worth it.
C'mon ABs, hope you have kept some fucking receipts from that last game!
Mate, this sounds fucking epic, I’m stoked for you and also seriously jealous!
I hit up skyscanner this morning on a whim - about $3k Aussie to fly out tomorrow, back on Monday. Thought it might be more to be honest given flight costs these days
Be rude not to, right???

Dilemma.
Marathon is next Sunday. Fly out Friday.
The world cup final is this weekend. I'd made the decision not to attend as I've invested far too much into this run. Preparing for literally over a year. Am in the best shape I've ever been in and feeling great.
Irish's friends Dad has just offered me his ticket for face value (450 EUR) and he has an airbnb as well which I can use.
So that is a quandry ... I've put so much focus on this run (perhaps too much focus) and thats my number one priority. Nothing else.
Anyway, dilemma is. Eurostar or fly.

Well spotted, I had to read that twice.

I'm still a bit traumatized by ABs v SA at Twickenham so I'll believe we can win when I see it

@BerniesCorner greatest trick the devil ever pulled.

@Billy-Tell As Foster said, bringing SB back on for 5 mins in a game already won was a risk not worth taking after the YC.
I wonder if we could have played with an extra back instead.
Could have made things fun. -

Could have made things fun.Penalty and red card. Against the spirit of the game.

Not a huge amount on Eurostar available …

I see World Rugby are now formally investigating the racist claim by Tom Curry involving Bongi Mbonambi.
The next few days are gonna be interesting
