 GM Nostr, 

 #Rugbyworldcuproundup# It was good to see Portugal getting an 18.18 draw with Georgia and climbing up the world ranking. Georgia beat Wales last winter so on paper Australia should beat Wales tonight but it is the world cup so that all goes out the window. The worst thing about the Georgia/Portugal game was the HEAD commentator was a #woman! With a lisp!# and another one in the TMO box. Just because rugby is a blood sport doesn't mean we need bleeders in the commentary box and especially in the TMO box. England had their walk in the park against Chile winning  71.0. Easily the best game so far was Ireland just beating the Saffas 13.8 showing the world why they are ranked 1 and 2 respectively. Crunching defence, great attacking from both teams with an all male commentary and TMO team. Let's hope there's more of that!
