Positive chat! Final plans, What are you doing? Where are you watching?

<p>I'm going to embrace Kearnsey during this one - if we do well. If we are losing I may have to switch to GEM and endure the commercials. Funny, I remember only too well whinging about Gordon Bray as a commentator - strange to think he is now the preferred option!</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>Kearnsey is actually a really good bloke. He just happens to be biased-as-fuck which is really irritating to listen to during a match.</p> -

<p>Just wanting to clarify that the 2am RWC final time in the Foxtel Guide is actually 2am across the whole of Aussie ...stuck question mark button...glue mishap thingy...I know there will be an hour of pre-game stuff and kick off will be 3am but am concerned that the actual times will be an hour earlier here in Qld. </p> -
<p>I recall Foxtel giving watchers the option awhile back for a big game...maybe the 2011 final..of either listening to the Aussie commentators or pressing the red button and swithcing to the kiwi commentary. Be great if they could do that again.</p>

I'll be setting the alarm for a 2:55 wake up, just in time for anthems and haka. The talking heads build up just grates. I can barely endure it for a 7:30pm kick off, so no way for a 3am one.

<p>These arrived yesterday. Absolutely shameless sharing them with the group, but I'd like to think in the same situation you blokes would do the same.</p>

<p>The guy taking me is an aussie, and we're both bringing a spare jersey along which the loser will have to wear for a night out afterwards. It seemed like a great bet at the time, but if the unthinkable should happen and is followed by a night of random Aussies high-fiving me while I'm wearing their jersey, I might kill myself.</p> -

Looking back was the experience better or worse than watching the Eng v Wales match? -
England Wales was fantastic. Getting a tooth pulled sucked a big box of cocks

<p>I am based in the Middle East, so have an early morning flight to London. Get to some pub in Richmond for a liquid lunch with some good mates (from all over), then head to Twickenham for the game. I have a late Sunday afternoon flight back and arrive home at about 5am Monday morning. Quick scrub and then off to work - just a day I couldn't get out of! Main issue is not to get too smelly so the person next to me on the plane back is gagging...I'll no doubt wear my AB jersey all weekend. Should be a beauty.</p>

If the unthinkable happens. I won't talk - possibly for days. I will probably manage to go on Fern to congratulate the Aussies but I will avoid radio, TV and every other outlet for the rabid whingers. Telling everyone that it's only a game and not believing if for a moment.<br><br>
I'll get over it pretty quickly though. By Xmas I should be coming right.</p></blockquote>
