Rugby World Cup final

Tuesday Oct 23, 2007

About ten of us watched the Rugby World Cup final on Monday night. Our friend Michael downloaded the match from the Internet when it became available 24 hours after the match, and we watched it via a project in his garage.

While Michael, a Scot, wasn't really cheering for either side, I suspect he leaned towards South Africa given he has a habit of cheering anyone who's up against England. I've caught that habit myself, and was pleased to see South Africa play tough and make things difficult for the English. South Africa prevailed.

I saw three matches and part of a fourth during this tournament. We saw the opening USA vs. England match, where I was pleased to see the USA team play okay against England. We tried to view the Scotland vs. Argentina quarterfinal, but only saw the first half due to some technical difficulties. We also watched the France vs. New Zealand quarterfinal, which was really a fantastic effort by the French, especially the second half, and the best match I saw. And finally the final.

I've only been watching rugby for a few seasons now. We've seen some Six Nations matches and now some World Cup matches. One of these days I'll go see a live match here in Austin.

Fortunately I'm not a rugby fan, but nevertheless I would suggest not to put spoilers into a post headline as you are bound to get someone waiting to watch the game on their dvr bitterly disappointed..

Good point. I've updated the title to not include that information.
