You want to try living in South Africa and NOT being a rugby fan

Avoid pubs with big screen TV’s

I’m born a kiwi (NZ) but my father was British and mum a kiwi. Then when I was about 35 they moved to australia and both became Australians…now I’m really screwed as I don’t know who to side with…. I guess it’s still the All Blacks …but I don’t follow the rugby or cricket so I’m a pretty poor supporter either way. I’ve lived more than half my life in Singapore.

The first week-end is over! 8 games have been played
The most interesting were in my view France-NZ (victory for France ) and Wales-Fiji.

Here are the current positions: impressive lead by isaac33, congrats! Betting on some upsets (as I did) proved to be a loosing bet.
