Anyone else who gives a shit about rugby/the rugby world cup most welcome.

Anyone who just likes to see the French lose also most welcome.

nice....just as well I have my own office now so no one could see the million and one photos of sexy men appearing on my screen.

I think there's something wrong with me. I've never thought big muscly dudes (who, in my mother's words, are 'built like a brick sh*thouse') are attractive or sexy.

Maybe if I admired their skills through love of the game, it would help...

Er.

I shouldn't even be here. Sorry.

Heli, just for side interest, the female equivalent of the brick house where I come from was "she's built like a burlap bag full of bobcats."

I love the Lego haka!!

Heli, it's totally the watching them play that makes them sexy. I never thought I'd say that, not really having been much of a rugby fan either but watching them do magical things with serious concentrating faces is the clincher.

In rugby updates - Noooooooooo Cruden noooooooooooooo! Noooo! Stop replaying it, I don't want to see his knee doing that. Lift your game all blacks!

Heh, my partner is stuck at work until 11pm, so he's asked me to txt him score updates.

WE DID! By one point. It was a terrifying terrifying game. But we held them off and we won the world cup!

Yeah, I just saw a post-game snippet on French news. News reader trying manfully to hang onto his cool "wish them all the best" attitude but it kept slipping.
