    Cracking world cup though

    I went to the Wales game and it was NOT the night I was expecting.
    Confident as fuck going in that semi too

    The final was a high quality game of rugby.

    Can't wait for the next one in Aus

    I think probably a try today but not back then. Much more stringent then.

    He holds it all the way until it gets planted in to the grass. That's a fucking try even then

    Shenanigans!!!!

    Unsurprisingly to some, my favourite RWC but bloody hell, we had some unnecessary scares along the way. Samoa, Wales and France were all very loseable at one time or another. Less so v Aus in the final, I always felt we were on top.

    And every Scots supporter just raving about Rupeni

    @mariner4life He carved up in that match didn't he? The rest of us got to see what he was all about and that he justified the hype.

    I saw that one live at Aussie stadium. Pretty handy living five minutes away. He was untouchable.

    Luckily the other 14 Scots were a bit better than their opposite numbers and got in the quarters vs Oz the week after.

    Living in Sydney was bloody good fun, can’t believe it’s been 20 years !!!!!

    Probably more dramatic when I was watching while drinking 20 years ago.

    But still a great hit, White was really good at those.

    @Duluth Downward pressure = try.

    The knock on was after that.

    Most of the sides at the 2003 RWC tried to play a bit and score tries. There was lots of entertaining Rugby.

    By 2007 it was much more about kicking from hand and defence. Lots of the games were arm-wrestles.
