I just realised that the Rugby World Cup starts tomorrow.

The times are kinda crappy. Who is going to be watching?

Will definitely try and watch SA vs NZ though.

I’ll also definitely be watching the SA vs NZ game

There’s 3 MEW Superbru pools if people haven’t joined yet. Just do a search for Most Epic Win.

Sweepslag · September 19, 2019, 9:10am

Why 3?

Anyhow, will follow as much as I can, certainly. I’m one of the millions of South Africans that live in the DSTV blackout though.

Was coincidentally on Superbru…

Here’s a direct link to the MEW RWC Predictor Pool: https://www.superbru.com/worldcup_predictor/pool.php?p=12110292

And to the MEW Club Games Room where you’ll find links to the 2 RWC Fantasy pools, and the other Superbru games to join: https://www.superbru.com/club/mostepicwin/join_pools.php

The main Predictor pool, and 2 Fantasy pools - a Daily Fantasy pool, and a standard Fantasy pool.

Thanks @GregRedd! Appreciate it.

Thats what reminded me of the RWC, got an email from SuperBru saying hey Chom don’t forget to make your picks.

Sweepslag · September 19, 2019, 9:22am

Ok cool. Predictor it is then.

Sweepslag · September 19, 2019, 9:31am

In terms of the actual tournament… AB’s must still be favourites, but I’m quietly confident that the Boks can go all the way. Aus and England will challenge, but I don’t think Ireland and Wales will go as well as they seem to think.

Here is a link to Superbru’s handy knockout calculator, so you can work out for yourself how things might go.

My new office has a TV and a surround sound system in it. I will be watching as much as possible

GregRedd · September 19, 2019, 9:55am

Done:

But probably more realistically:

We have a truly special bok squad, Im all about the RWC at the moment. Even gaming Rugby.

@DieGrootHammer and @Solitude crushing it on the MEW Superbru RWC Pool after the opening matches. Me, not so much.

And I love it when grumpy fans edit Wikipedia pages, even if it doesn’t last too long:

Hehe thanks @GregRedd. It was a good Superbru weekend for me. Hopefully it’ll continue.

Dragonic · September 23, 2019, 9:08am

I’m 38th, so chin up haha. Also, that Wiki edit hahaha.

wenzdayz · September 28, 2019, 9:01am

How is this Japan vs Ireland Rugby game?! Omw!

Sweepslag · September 28, 2019, 12:22pm

Unbelievable. Imagine us not having to play Ireland in the quarters.

Sweepslag · October 4, 2019, 12:55pm

Important win for the Boks against Italy. Execution could have been much better, but at least we should be assured of a place in the QF’s now. As for who the opponents will be…
