    When do tickets go on sale?

    Mrs Boo reckons we're going.

    Will make sure we're there for the pool matches ... and see how flexible we can be during the knockouts ...

    Collective thoughts on tours, touring parties, independent travel etc appreciated.

    (Yes I'm deflecting, I don't want to dwell on the aftermath.)

    Never mind that, when is the squad named?

    If you can get tickets to the games you want to see through the ballot I would do the tour independently as you will have more flexibility to visit where you want between games. That is what my friends and I did in 2007, and it should be cheaper.

    The TGV/train network is great to travel between cities, and you can organise your own accommodation.

    Tours like Williment Travel will take a lot of the hassle away so it depends on what you want from the experience. I'll never forget seeing many from their tour group walking around Paris after the QF in their adidas tour kit looking like they wanted to be somewhere else. We all ended up at a bar watching the NPC final live.

    It's much better to be incognito. 🙂

    It was good to see us keeping our powder dry for this one last night. The pricks aren't going to know what hit them.

    I see France winning this and us getting knocked out by Ireland.

    @Godder @nzzp Reckon I could be up for that if you could stomach hanging about with a Saffer.
    I know @Snowy is boycotting travelling to RWC games anymore, but I'm sure I can tempt him out of retirement if he feels his liver is strong enough for one last hurrah with me 😉

    That's the problem, weeks in France with good (and cheap) wine my liver may well decide it is a final hurrah.
    That and the fact that the ABs will lose if I go.

    It is tempting though. Hmmm.

    I'm quite tempted ... will be taking time out to calm down after this Cup though, and korero with the father in law. He's an old school rugby dude, would be funny as shit to be on tour with. Also tempted to drag one or both boys along ... well, for festival rugby group stages. After that it's all pressure, pain and heartbreak -- kind of like working 🙂

    So they're doing the draw even earlier this time. What the actual fuck? Three years early??
