Is that THE team or YOUR team?

I'm not sure I don't not buy into not calling my team not my team.

Each to their own. I suppose it depends on the conversation.

If the team I play for win, I say we won. If I don't play and we win, I still say we won.

What if the team that you didn't not play for didn't win? Wouldn't you still not not say you hadn't not won?

As an English person (and British person), it seems reasonable to be able to use 'we' when supporting such teams.

As a paying supporter and member of Aston Villa, it also seems reasonable to consider oneself as part of the club.

Managed to watch England v Fiji, US v Samoa, and New Zealand v Argentina.

Was out on Saturday so didn't record the South Africa match but apparently missed a treat.

England were scrappy, the yanks kept on making stupid mistakes, and I'd forgotten how well the Argentinians play.

The Japan game was amazing.

Just watched it on ITV on demand, great game.

Shame about Oz not getting the bonus point

Sadly they had enough balls to go for the win.

Indeed they had too many balls at the end.

I think he's younger than me, yeah.

It's so deflating watching England fail to chase a game

Now I know how football fans feel at World Cups...

I missed an hour of The Blues Brothers for that, too.

I was in Manchester this weekend. Poor timing. I could have practiced my Spanish as well.

That was so cool. Uruayian selection came to us after the game and took some selfies with us..

Kern · **Posted:** Sun Oct 11, 2015 8:58

Great stuff.Looks like you had a great time. Did you get a shirt?

France v Ireland

Half-time reaction so spoilered:

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!

Bloody hell the French are being brutal, and I'm not 100% sure it's accidental. Their decapitation strategy might swing the game in their favour, but to get Johnny Sexton out of the game so soon? :blown:

But then, they are French.

romanista · **Posted:** Mon Oct 12, 2015 9:46

I was kinda surpised that the irish let the ball glip out of their hands so much in the first half

I got a uruguau scarf. But lost my uruguay flag somewher in manchester's night life

As expected, an antipodean final. Hoping the Kiwis will win it.
I watched an interesting BBC Wales programme aboutNigel Owens, who's reffing the game. Nothing really revelatory, but interesting nonetheless: you don't get many shows about referees, after all.

He is the best Ref in the world... He is good on the Brian Moore podcast.
