Can't abide rugby, so didn't care one way or the other.

We play South Africa in the semi final.

They beat us in the final last time so a chance for revenge.

Mind you we have done well to get this far as our form this season has been as bad as towns.

Indeed Pete! The draw, it’s method and it’s timing we’re baffling to say the least.
I enjoyed the game though and it not very often I’ve said that after watching us recently.
South Africa I fear will be far too good for us, although I hope I’m wrong! 🤞

England were good when the draw was made a few years ago. We're now shite, but it's remarkable that we remain the only unbeaten team in the competition!

We'll get absolutely battered by the Springboks. We're miles behind the likes of SA, NZ, Ireland and France and any one of these teams would take us to pieces. Can't see any way past a SA vs NZ final.

As for the Cricket World Cup, our players just don't play 50 over cricket any longer. It's all 20-20, The Hundred and the like.

It's not a surprise that we're not looking anywhere near contenders in this format at the moment.

Remind me who we have just lost to their country is full of land mines from the war isn't it ?

Argentina could yet hold both World Cups. An England V Argentina final would be near absurd given the paucity of their pool games. The 2 QFs in the other half of the draw were epic. Combined physicality and skill levels like no other sport. A welcome distraction from Town’s dismal showing v Accy. I don’t watch other football if Town have been shite. Too depressing.

Much more likely is New Zealand holding two World Cups.

To this point Englands World Cup has been diabolical and a disgrace (relatively speaking and in sporting terms of course).
This is as bad as it’s gets I’m afraid and whatever the mitigation I believe a change has to occur akin to the Bangladesh watershed back in 2015.
A total and utter shambles!
