5 AM? Well, not watching it then, I'll have to miss too much of the game, so not worth the investment.
Got my times wrong, the 3rd place playoff is 9am the final is 11am GMT.
Alright I'll watch it then. Better hope you didn't anger the Rugby Gods with the counting of chickens before they hatched. They might care, they might not, risky business.
Superstitious rot.
Next thing you'll be suggesting that I pray for victory.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Nah, just don't anger the Rugby Gods unnecessarily. If they are anything like the gods of the sports I watch, that's bad juju, they are fickle and can find any excuse to turn on your team, so don't give them any obvious offenses they feel they might have to smite. They reward boldness, but punish arrogance, it can be a fine a line, but crossing them can have dire consequences, acting like you can't lose is bad juju.

Ive been enjoying the rugby commentary, even though I never catch a match.

Extended highlights of All Blacks game.

I thought that way before I got burned like that betting on occasion. But yeah betting on Chan Sung Jung where he wins that whole fight and literally gets knocked out at the last second will scar the shit out of you. That dude has one of the best chins in the sport and gets KO'd with a upward elbow out of nowhere, that shit was fucked up. It ain't over until it's over.

Not even worth a bet on England at 8/15.
15/8 on SA to win.
Wales might be worth a punt at 7/1 in 3rd place match against NZ.

I want to see an angry All Blacks trampling all over Wales with a decisive win. That will shatter the morale of SA knowing that we dominated NZ.
I'd feel sorry for them if it wasn't for all that apartheid shit they tried to pull off.

I don't really bet on sports.
Occasional Grand National flutter and that's about it.
Even with the National, it's only a couple of times every decade.
Last big one was £5 each way on ''Monty's Pass'' at 16-1.
I got £110 back for that.
I like gambling around a felt covered table where if I lose a mate wins.

I suck at pool, so betting on it wouldn't make much sense, especially if I was betting on myself.

I meant poker. I suppose I should have said baize not felt.
