RWC Final: All Blacks v Springboks
-
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.

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 -
