Spoilt for Choice- What Games to Watch this Weekend

[RWC2011Fan]

So I was looking over the schedule just before, and I noticed that quite a few of the games this weekend are actually on at the same/or similar times. Scotland vs. Japan and England vs. Argentina both kick off at 03:30 (NZT), with Australia vs. Italy starting half-an-hour earlier. Thankfully, I'm not interested in any of these games, except for maybe Scotland vs. Japan. The real problem I'm facing is choosing between South Africa vs. Wales and Ireland vs. Samoa, starting at 06:30 and 06:45 respectively. I am slightly leaning towards the former, but I was wondering what matches you guys intend to watch.

Damn, I didn't realise the Wales/Ireland games clash.
That's a really tough choice, I was really looking forward to the Wales game but I always watch Samoa games when I can.

 

[TRF Mr Fish]

Can't go past Wales and South Africa.

Can't go past Wales and South Africa.

If the WRU can create an atmosphere anything like the one they did for their match vs England in the 6N then it will be a fantastic spectacle.
And I'm sure they're going to try, because it was genuinely a big factor in their performance.

The fact that the game isn't sold out might be an issue.

Well of course I'm going to watch SA beat Wales particularly with how close this match-up has been in recent years. But I too like to catch the Samoa games whenever I can; you just know there is going to be a ton of off-the-ball stuff, big hits and drama and some damn good rugby along the way as well; add that Ireland and Samoa are separated by only a point on the IRB's rankings with Samoa slightly ahead but Ireland at home.. well that doesn't for much but it does indicate the 50/50 nature of the match-up though I too see Ireland as slight favourites.

Will look for a highlights package on the latter.

I'd be amazed if the Wales v SA game isn't a sell-out, come Saturday that is.

I just checked online and the vast majority of sections have one or two free seats dotted about, with only a couple of the up top sections with decent availability. It should be more less sold out by Saturday

 

[Bada-Bing!]

My viewing on Saturday will be:

1. England v Argentina at 2.30pm
2. Wales v SA 5.30pm
3. France v All Blacks 8pm

Watch ATP world tour finals matches on the ipad.

 

[big ginger 8]

Well I'll be watching Ireland anyway.

 

[Feicarsinn]

Interesting fact, according to TRF, Ireland aren't playing this week.

 

[Groundhog]

If I we're a neutral I would probably watch Wales SA, but I'm looking forward to seeing this slugfest.

 

[Feicarsinn]

Seriously though, where's our match thread?

Not stopping you from putting it up.

 

[Feicarsinn]

My name isn't in blue for a reason. Do your job, boy.

 

[Draggs]

Eh, match threads aren't really a requirement of being staff. Arguing with Irish people is. We put up threads because we are all good lads. Except Nick. Can't trust that kiwi.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Can I make one and name it Jonny Leota XV v Potatoes XV?

 

[Draggs]

If it was a historical match like England have had, it could be (lack of) Potatoes XV.

Wait, this isn't the Bod thread.
