So Fiji's got this right? :downs:

The last World Cup was so much fun (well except for the final, that was kinda crap, outside of the French coach and team refusing to talk to each other :allears:), I hope this one lives up to it.

And the rugby ball in the castle that everyone is probably sick to death of already really is awesome. It's great to see someone have a really smart idea and the council of all people run with it (the last idea they had was "lets steal EL BROMANCES bin"). Loads of people out taking photos, so couldn't resist snapping a bunch myself.

I think that's really cool, I also thought the big one in the center of the field in the opening ceremony was a pretty cool visual.

I missed it while watching, but apparently one of the commentators straight up said,"The population of Fiji will be in the island's one village gathered around their only tv, hoping the generator doesn't fail"? :stare:

Japanese people currently just don't care much about international rugby because association football has become more popular, and they haven't done well at an international level. If the Japan squad can start to make headlines it could really become a catalyst for all the resources of Japanese rugby to be put to better use.

Japan is hosting the next World Cup, right? A strong showing in this one will hopefully generate a lot of interest for that one. Weren't they meant to be getting involved in the Southern Hemisphere rugby competition alongside Argentina as well?

So frustrated that I have to miss Scotland/Japan live because it is being played during my class. Fortunately I can watch it on replay that evening, but it means avoiding spoilers all day.

Keep your eyes on the ground, because if there are any Japanese people where you live they might be getting paraded around on people's shoulders as you head home.
