Rugby World Cup and Cricket World Cup

Dear All,

I am a big ruby fan and am half Kiwi and Half English and have lived in London most of my life so I support England :rugby_football: :england:

And then when we go out I have a NZ :kiwi_fruit: :rugby_football: backup!! :sweat_smile: :smiley: :rofl:

So for all the rugby fans out there I thought I would do a poll and please feel free to suggest extra categories!!

Who will win the Rugby World Cup 2023 in France?

  • England
  • New Zealand
  • Someone else

Actually I love New Zealanders, but chose England because of a longer history of playing, and of course, because this is a UK group :laughing:

I loved the Ryder cup and am looking forward to the cricket but I have also enjoyed the rugby so far!

What football team do you support @Nigelglos ?!

I see where you got that but my name is Kieran George Bennett!! hence KGB…

You will get there - I go about once a month!! In ‘special seats’ of course!!

And the disability bus

:wink: :polar_bear:

That is fair enough!!

I think my claret and blue housemate who supports villa and is a season ticket holder, never misses a home game and bores me to death about them, is happier so far!!

I’m not ‘unhappy’ but pleased would be pushing a bit!! we can when we do but DM needs to sort it out!

I go about once a month and am lucky enough to get rows 1-4 for any game I want as a disabled partially sighted WH claret member!! Worth looking into that for the superblues seats?!?!

And it’s BOGOF because of a personal assistant…

Thanks, Simon. I don’t even know the difference between Rugby, Cricket and Polo. I’m told Rugby is more like American Football.

I think @Nigelglos and @KGB are just a couple ‘sticky wickets’ but I am not sure. I don’t know what that means!
And Simon, hot dogs go with baseball, hot cheerleaders go with football. Popcorn is for movies, Pop tops (beer) is for football. Basketball is for trash talking and hockey is for fist fighting.

I agree re snooker - used to enjoy watching it more than I do now…

Will now have to keep an eye on the superblues too!!

fair enough!! I’ve got two screens and an ipad I can use to watch multiple things at once… but I can’t even look at one screen for more than 10mins really so I listen and then watch the good bits when JP tells me or I hear the commentary ha ha ha

I have a friend who does similar stuff to you!

although southhampton hmmmmmm I don;t like em and they are ****
