The other two games should be interesting as well.
France v SA with SA a bit of an unknown quantity.
Eng v Fiji with England looking to lay down a marker but they will know little about Fiji who have adjusted their team with a bunch of Sevens players. If Fiji get some ball it could be fun

Could be one for the podcasts thread but this BBC interview with Ruby Tui is excellent.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0d4ydlt
Edit: From about 30 minutes she talks quite a bit about the RWC, the changes, the captains etc. Well worth listening for insight and background.
How can you not love Ruby Tui - talented, funny, intelligent, resilient and captivating

France to smash them by a bigger margin than BFs v Wallaroos.

Will probably be the same old story: England dominate the set piece and structured play, Fiji carve up the broken field.
The physicality in the loose will be value tho.

Could well be pretty bang on NTA, kind of how I see it too.

Sadly, the majority of the games are foregone conclusions, even more than men's
Helluva vibe for those players accustomed to empty stadia tho.

0700 get up and grab breakfast from Maccas on my way to...
0745 plasma donation! First one in 6 months after Rugby, COVID and other shit
0915 post-donation snacks before heading home
1000 Mrs TA leaves to get her hair done
1015 drop Daughter Unit at dance lessons
1200 having no females in the house for a few hours, settle in for 3 X RWC games and a side order of Japan v Aus A, as the rain comes down in Sydney. -

Fiji are ranked 21 but will be pushing top 10 after this tournament.

So I will have a quiet day, weather is a cracker here in the Naki, so mow lawns, then at 2 will watch NPC QF, Wellington/Hawkes Bay, and then probably swap a bit between Canterbury game and second women's game. and catch the Ferns/Wallaroos live at 7. So much rugby and so little time huh?

On itv4 at 7am for UK ferners. Looks like they're possibly going to broadcast all the games, not just home nations. Choice!
Yes all games broadcast in uk. Switching between ITV and itv4

Foe me, the women need to keep their emotion in check. Emotion will get you so far, but application and execution are crucial.

Yeah looks like Ozzie are fired up, NZ are over aroused. 21 minute haka didn't help
