    I don't follow much rugby but this has been a great event to watch for the past month.

    There's an element of fun and joy about the proceedings that seems to be missing in other bigger sports.

    Also the sport is too connected to beer to have the Gulf States come in and mess with it

    Anyway Argentina just won a come from behind QF against Wales sealing it with a literal pick-six (5) try in the last minutes.

    Ireland v. All Blacks up next

    I'm on my way to my local Irish pub to meet a kiwi friend. Yes, I will be drinking.

    Good but not great final. NZ sloppy and too many missed opportunities

    NZ back to being chokers at the RWC again. The world has realigned itself to normality a little bit.
