Feels like we've just had an off season in the middle of this WC. Still, it should get going properly again with some potentially good games this weekend, and we can all enjoy the 'good riddance Eddie' party

There were some cracking performances at the weekend. Looking forward to final pool games. Even though we'll be out from QFs on. Oh well, they too will be great to watch. G

Trying to work out who to switch my allegiance too - NZ I could justify via my wife. But feel I ought to be cheering for Ireland. Yeah, probably. Celtic cousins! G

Supporting England, would love Fiji to go on though and if shunted into a corner it would be ABW - anyone but Wales. I don't want NZ, SA or France to win it either which leaves Argentina (?) or Ireland as my 3rd choice....
(Apologies for making the assumption that Scotland won't make the qtrs, I'd quite like them to, but can't see it)

Mathematically possible, realistically impossible!
I don't do the ABE (Anyone But England), so Ireland, Wales, France, New Zealand in that order (but don't tell my missus!) G

You tell us every World Cup you don't do ABE, yet each time support anyone but England.

Was that @me Cheg. I'll support England against a team that I prefer them to, certainly. Can't think of one at the mo, to be fair.

Probably England Australia. I'd be reasonably neutral in that one. England SA too. England against any small or 2nd tier, I'd support the underdog. That seems reasonable. England v. Wales, Ireland then I have a strong affiliation. England against France, Auld Alliance and France are just ace to watch. England v. NZ, then family feud risk. Think it's justified and it's not AbE at all. I have nothing against England as a country or as a rugby team. G
