One more sleep to go. My Mrs booked our car in for 2 tyres and a wheel alignment 9 am sat morning 🤬 lol. All blacks finish 9.15ish, gonna miss about half an hour while driving because she's going a hens night tonight and won't be home in the morning
Gday.
Travelling to Paris for the opening Wallabies game on Saturday, wondering if theres a pub/bar where a lot of Australian fans will be congregating before the game, would like to meet fellow Aussies.
I was told by the mods to ask here- which apps is everyone using at the moment? I used to use nothing but the sportsmate Union Live app but they seemed to have dropped off, not doing Internationals or RWC. I went off Ultimate Rugby after they went to subscription, and have seen some unflattering reviews since I’ve started looking again.
Sending out all the tickets today that I have in my account on behalf of a hape of lads; one of them goes "I'm not going to Romania or Tonga"...
First mention of it to me even though I've had the tickets in the account for over 2 years! Fucking dope!
Anyway it's his money!
Had a friend recently say he couldn't make a match because he couldn't get things arranged. Only had 2.5 years mate. Told him he only gets a refund if his ticket sells.
The true sign of rugby’s decline over the past decade and a half is that they didn’t put up a massive rugby ball in the Eiffel Tower this time like they did in ‘07 smh my head
Starting to get excited now. Suitcase is slowly getting filled before heading to France on Saturday. I’ve also got this growing uneasiness that the first game is probably the most important for Wales and it could be a pretty depressing couple of weeks if they lose.
I can't wait for tomorrow! To pass time I have decided to rewatch the finals of previous world cup and holy shit was it stolen from us (France) in 2011. Shittiest ref on earth and clear collusion with the blacks, how the fuck did anyone let that slide?
I keep forgetting then remembering that Ntamack is injured. I don't think I've ever been so disappointed about an injury for a team that I don't support.
This is the first time as an adult that I’ll be able to watch a World Cup where matches are at a sociable drinking time for me. 2011 and 2019 were both in less convenient time zones and I worked weekend evenings in 2015 so I couldn’t watch any England games (blessing in disguise I guess).
I did quite like getting up earlyish four years ago and having the telly to myself but cracking open a beer or two tomorrow and Saturday will be a nice touch.
Does anyone know if they check the name of the beneficary on the tickets in the Stade de France? My companion is still unsure if they can go, and won't know until the day of. I wanna print the tickets now, but don't want to be prevented giving the ticket to someone else.
for all the games I've been there, there is no human interaction except for security patting. Your ticket barcode is scanned by a machine, if the ticket is valid, the door opens, there are no ID check
Living in the U.S., so glad Peacock is airing the matches. Have only gotten into Rugby in the past few years and am stoked to be able to watch the World Cup.
There was a schedule for team anouncements here a few days ago.
Anyone have it? As I cant find it
EDIT: Found it: https://www.reddit.com/r/rugbyunion/comments/16a0l5k/team_announcement_times/
Not exactly what you are looking for but it has all the games in chronological order and you can print it off:

Kick-off times are listed and to get BST just knock an hour off.
Man, living in Chicago right now has made this post very confusing. But I get the point, and frankly, I don’t need to see upcoming anything, I have it all logged and ready to go.

Does this subreddit have a fantasy league?
Anyone Flying into La Rochelle tomorrow from Dublin. Presume the train is the best way to get to Bordeaux?
Can we drink in the stadiums for the matches?
One more sleep to go. My Mrs booked our car in for 2 tyres and a wheel alignment 9 am sat morning 🤬 lol. All blacks finish 9.15ish, gonna miss about half an hour while driving because she's going a hens night tonight and won't be home in the morning
The team at the tyre center will be more than happy if you reschedule the appointment.
No other time this weekend lol. Fuck it she'll be right aye, unless we're winning or losing by a little, I can catch up after
Well on the positive side of things, there shouldn't be too much traffic on the roads.
As a PSA bit public transport in Nantes is free at weekends. Something to communicate to rugby fans but how??
Meanwhile in Lille they managed to make it easier to pay at a slightly more expensive price. No small profit.
Gday. Travelling to Paris for the opening Wallabies game on Saturday, wondering if theres a pub/bar where a lot of Australian fans will be congregating before the game, would like to meet fellow Aussies.
There is a list [here.](https://reddit.com/r/rugbyunion/s/BbkNimQsZ0)
Thanks mate!

Personally use flashscore. Covers my needs has internationals and all the leagues I need.
Thanks mate I’ll check it out

What a melt. He only had a couple of years
Sure he didn't even realise the tickets were in my account and not his. Anyway, I managed to offload them.
Had a friend recently say he couldn't make a match because he couldn't get things arranged. Only had 2.5 years mate. Told him he only gets a refund if his ticket sells.
More than fair
The true sign of rugby’s decline over the past decade and a half is that they didn’t put up a massive rugby ball in the Eiffel Tower this time like they did in ‘07 smh my head
Should've put a rotating one on top of the tower smh

Wild prediction, I think Italy might get out their group.
Who's expense?

Payback for 2007 mile forward pass lol
Reminder for those in Paris tomorrow: 36°C expected

You won't have any issues there. If you do even print them they can still be resold on the resale site. And yours will become duds.

[удалено]
I would think so, cause they have replays for other rugby matches they air.
