    I don’t do as much of the social media stuff as I used to , but when I do , when it comes to the new crack down in the tackle area , nh fans seem to be more ok with it than sh fans which is interesting.

    No sarcasm intended, or Saying who is right or wrong , but there seems to be very different outlooks on how the game should be played and officiated?

    Interesting, though may change significantly if one of their blokes get a card for a borderline high shot in a knock out match.

    May that have to do with the fact that all players who received a suspension aren't from Europe? The only European player to be cited was Piers Francis and he got off. Now that Bundee Aki has been red carded, they can still say he's a (Samoan) Kiwi.

    Twitter is lighting up with the news that Japan v Scotland is going ahead. Apparently the ground has passed inspection. Not sure about fans/surrounds though.

    and, gotta acknowledge. At least eighteen Japanese people killed. Thirteen missing. Many people's homes flooded, or worse. etc

    My mother in law just asked me why the other countries are in the news blaming us for ruining the world cup?

    Reckon we have the tastiest RWC quarters ever.

    If I’m being picky I think England might account for Australia easily enough.

    Be interesting to see who they goose to referee the Quarter Finals. My guess is:

    Nigel Owens, Wayne Barnes, Jaco Pepper and Ben O'Keefe

    Time to change format for TRC, invite Japan and Fiji and just play home-away on alternate years.

    Owens, Barnes and they should go with Berry & O’Keefe.

    But I reckon the 2 Frenchmen will be there.
