The menfolk in the family are not happy. The Rugby World Cup kicked off today in
Paris, France, and our All Blacks played the French rugby team and managed to
lose quite convincingly.
I thought France played well, but the fact that we lost such
an important game (after losing an equally important game two weeks ago to the
South Africans) does not go down well with a lot of All Black supporters.
I won’t repeat any of the comments I have heard made!

I enjoy watching rugby and will enjoy watching other World
Cup games that are on when I am awake (the getting up in the wee hours to watch
rugby is not my cup of tea).
Every weekend the last several months I have watched Super
Rugby competition games, and now have been watching the Provincial
Championships (we have a SkySport subscription, so I can watch it all from the
comfort of my armchair).
Rugby is about the only sport I follow, and, strangely, I
don’t really mind which team wins. It is
more important to me that the game is not tainted with cheating or a biased
referee (both of which happen at times).
Do you have a sport that you like to follow?
Cheers,
Margaret 😊
I watch Ice Hockey once in awhile...I am not a fan of many sports:) Years ago I loved to watch bowling:)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite sport is football. I guess, I should clarify, American Football. College or the NFL. Our season just started yesterday so we have months of watching ahead of us!
ReplyDeleteAwesome :)
DeleteI'm not really much of a sports fan although I can watch hockey. Football I don't understand at all.

For some reason, hockey is one sport I really do not like. Just as well we are all different! :)
DeleteDarn, how can I tell every here now that the All Blacks are unbeatable? Not that they'd know anything about them anyway. May have to pretend till they get back into the top notch again
ReplyDeleteGood luck with that :))
DeleteMy Welsh husband loves rugby, he loves to watch, and so now do I, on the same lines, I love tennis and now so does he.
ReplyDeleteMy son loves tennis, so I get to see quite a lot of that too :)
DeleteHi, Margaret! Just stopping by to say hello! I live in Texas and we have several well known sports teams such as the Dallas Cowboys but I dont follow any of them. We watch college football, primarily the team representing the university my husband attended. Unfortunately, most of the time we can’t see it on tv and have to listen to it on the radio which feels very antiquated!
ReplyDeleteHi Melissa. I remember my father listening to games on the radio - we are certainly spoilt today to be able to watch a match on TV :)
DeleteHi Margaret, I sat down to watch the game but tuned to the wrong channel and accidentally discovered the tennis US Open was on at the same time. I managed to check on the All Blacks' progress during the ad breaks. Although I'm an avid supporter of our local rugby team, I don't have the same enthusiasm for the ABs. But I do love watching tennis.
ReplyDeleteI don't think you missed much! The tennis has had some epic matches to watch (if I don't see them, son tells me all about them LOL).
DeleteSorry, forgot to identify myself - again.
ReplyDeletePeople sitting in front of a TV watching sports baffles me.
ReplyDeleteI was in hospital at the time of the game, and it was interesting to watch the reactions to those around me - staff and patients :)
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't have any particular sport I follow - I used to watch cricket a bit with DH, but nothing now
Blessings

I hope that means you are home again now Maxine. Not much fun being in hospital. Hugz, Mxx
