Huge win for the Irish ladies over the All Blacks yesterday!

W00t for the Irish ladies! That is a great upset win given how strong the All Blacks have been in this tournament in the past.

South Africa, of course, isn't doing very well at all

What's All Blacks, precious? I tried to google, but news articles assume that the reader already knows.

The New Zealand National Rugby team. Their strip is a black jersey, with black shorts. Hence, the All Blacks.

You still lurking Griffy? Curious to hear what you think about the latest kerfuffle re: RWC 2023!

Well, France are the hosts for 2023. There will be some gnashing of teeth in South Africa!

Two great games yesterday Griffy! If you can find links I'd recommend checking out Ireland v Wales and Scotland v England!

I don't know the first thing about rugby, but watching JK Rowling post incoherent tweets over the England-Scotland match was a joy. Apparently, her husband was making her to tone it down.

Man, I really wanted to watch at least one of those games, but I ended up being out of town! Hoping to find links because from what I've heard they were both crackers.

One day we'll either find a TV provider where we can get more rugby games ( Faramond was riveted by that game ) or we'll find enough money to spring for everything we'd like to watch

Do you have access to Mobdro Griffy? Not that I'd be suggesting anything of the sort!

Well, Ireland have won the Six Nations with a game in hand and are now #2 in the World Rankings. Still a ways behind New Zealand though!

Still, we have an opportunity for a 3rd Grand Slam if we can beat England in Twickenham on Paddy's Day! And guess who has a ticket?
