Where have real rugby gone?

I have been told that people have stopped reading my blog coz it's not updated regularly... Wat's new man....



Anyway, this gotta be a bad night. I am refering to the Rugby WC of course. How could that not be a try:( Things might have turned out differently if England had gotten that try. Argh! To be honest, I did think that England played rather well. It was just the poor line outs and giving away of penalties that did them in.



I was quite disappointed by the game actually. Since when has a good game of rough rugby turned into a footballer's game? Half the time, the ball was being kicked btwn the two sides. Good game play, if it had worked. Unfortunately for England, the balls nearly always found itself into the SA winger's hands, who would then kick it back. Rubbishly, the whole game was won on penalty kicks (proving my point that it's a kicking game now). No legitimate tries in a World Cup final??? Given the fact that none of the penalties were missed (if I remembered correctly), the game was more on who were better at following instructions. Bah... Well, this is just from the view of a girl anyway.



We had poker after that. Nearly won the game but lost narrowly at the end, thanks to Lip'en and bad luck. The bad thing about playing poker is the snacking that nearly always happens. Snacked my way through the World cup and poker. To think that I gave half my Wagamama dinner away coz I couldn't finish:S
