1/4 and semi final tickets have just gone on sale in Australia at $100 and $300 respectively. Final is sold out but when we stuff the Aussies in the semi final alot more final tickets should become available!!! You need to take a risk(very limited and educated) that we'll beat the South Africans in the first stage to win our group so on that basis you need to buy tickets for the 1/4 final in Brisbane. See you there?

Christ i thought Scooby drivers were mostly beer drinking, rugby playing/watching real men. Obviously not.

I thought that the structure of the pools were such that England wouldn't play New Zealand or Australia till the final, that is if any of those teams actually make it through?

You are very hopefully correct and i've just totally contradicted myself in my original post. On the basis we win our group which is basically beat the South Africans who are our only real threat and even then not the threat they were a few years ago, we will then probably meet the Irish in the 1/4's, the French in the semi's and you'd have to say the All Blacks in the final, which of course we will win.

I remember looking at the fixtures when they first came out and the realisation that if we didn't win our group we'd meet the All Blacks in the 1/4's and the Aussies in the semis and who cares in the final if you manage to get past those two obviously stuck in my mind.

So yes we could meet the Aussies in the semis but as you point out i wouldn't actually expect them to meet due to us winning our group so thankyou for pointing this out and making me revisit the fixture list because having got both 1/4 and semi final tickets you have just made my day.

Yes i would imagine doing anything else is better than watching Wales play rugby, unless of course you're watching Englands reserve side absolutely thrash your first 15.

Work wouldnt let me have the 3 weeks off I wanted (otherwise I'd be on my way down for the latter stages). Have to be the next Lions tour to NZ, then!!
