Rugby World Cupping

Unless you've been stuck in your room binge watching Narcos on Netflix (I won't blame you), you've probably realised that the rugby world cup is well under way in England. Having never seen a rugby match, I thought I would give one a chance. And what some have called the "greatest Rugby World Cup shock ever" happened.

Japan Beat South Africa

This headline was all over the place. South Africa, also known as the Springboks, has one the best teams in the world. They are joint all time world cup winners with New Zealand and Australia. Each have 2 wins under their belts.

Japan, on the other hand, had won only 2 out of 25 world cup matches and hadn't won a world cup match in over 18 years. Clearly the Springboks were heavy favourites to win that match. It is difficult to put the win for Japan into words. So I decided to show pictures of the fans - after all, a picture is supposed to speak a thousand words, and transcend any barriers.




And if a picture speaks a thousand words, then surely a 100 second video at 60 frames per second speaks 6 million words:


Japan did go on to lose against Scotland. But beat Samoa 26-5 today. They may be the Cinderella story this tournament.

England Rugby Team Vs England Football Team

England has a vital match against Australia today at 8pm. The results of the match could mean the end of the tournament for the host team. It's never good to lose a host team this early into the competition. As a regular football fan, I've been disappointed with England's recent performance on the world stage. If the same applies in rugby, I doubt I'll be a regular rugby fan as well. My heart can only take so much.
