Always a shame when a home team knocks another home team out. (Unless it were a final!)

I can't really see a solution to that. Demanding that home teams are seperated until as late as possible on the basis that we're all (more or less) one country entering 5 teams would seem a bit cheeky.

Five teams?
Are you including the French? Or Italy?

I seem to struggle with complex mathmatical operations.

Oh dear, you are not a rugby fan, are you?

Since international rugby began in the 1880s there has been a single team representing the Irish Rugby Football Union, with players drawn from the the whole island of Ireland.

Not really, I was forced to play from 11 at which age I was small & very skinny. All the big kids liked Rugby as it was an excuse to beat up us skinny ones. Wewere always told it was a Ruffian's game played by gentlemen . . . but they always seemed to be bloody ruffians then & still are in this WC with all the cheating, gouging & stamping - they're all a bloody disgrace.

No, but I was conceived there. All Adolf's fault of course. (something to do with bomber training?)

Well
That's that then.
The frogs won't win the final

How about a Kiwi as a cousin???

I've posted in All Back.

They tried to get me to play rugby too. I was once, and only once, asked to tackle someone. Since I didn't want to hurt him, and, more importantly, didn't want to hurt myself, I deliberately aimed at a point two feet to his left and gently subsided to the ground beside him. Thus, with a snort of contemptuous disbelief from the PE teacher, my rugby career ended. Thank goodness.

I'm rubbish with any ball game, sports should be carried out sat down.

Or leaning out backwards over the side.

But certainly not in this weather.

Oh come on - you were doing well to keep your balls dry in the Windermere Surface Walk Event

The balls were wet, the nips stayed dry, just.

Yes - those passing Japanese tourists were mightily impressed by your attempt to re-enact 'The Battle of Midway' for them at the Lake Wardens.
