Slight deviation. Pair of England/ Argentina RWC tickets for sale on our club website - £600 reduced from £800 (Mar seile 9 Sept)
Cheap eh?

Ridiculous - and I thought Twickenham tickets were overpriced. |

Danny Care should have rephrased that and said Dupont makes the perfect rugby player, 7s and 15s.
There is a debate as to whether rugby, along with a lot of other sports, is really an Olympic Sport, but nevertheless, I don't blame Dupont wanting a shot at competing in a home Olympic Games. Probably a good time to do it with the most recent RWC cycle finished as well. It might also give others teams a chance in the 2024 6N, such is Dupont's quality. I see him as the Lionel Messi of the rugby world - and I'm sure he will win a world cup eventually like Messi did.

That's amazing - if you'd asked a bookie for odds 4 months ago on these 4 being the SF teams for any world series event this year, they'd have been long I imagine? See these games are watchable online via Rugby Pass TV at 10.08pm and 10.30pm respectively tonight. The bad news for anyone wanting to stay up for the final is that it's at 2.23am!

Did anyone stay up? 'Fraid I didn't. Narrow SF wins for France & GB by 2 & 3pts respectively, French win 21-0 in final for their first 7s title since 2005, fair to say the Dupont film-script is back on track, for now...

Semi-finals:
2:30pm South Africa vs France 3:00pm Fiji vs Australia 6:00pm Bronze Medal Match 6:45pm Gold Medal Match Ireland maintained their tournament consistency - losing at the quarter-final stage - whilst the Bok seem to be peaking at the right time having suffered close loses in their pool matches against Ireland and New Zealand. Not bad for a team that only qualified last month.

I was interested to see that one of the stand out players in the French team, Aaron Grandidier, was born and educated in England. He played for Kent U18s and OEs, but now plays for Pau.

Perfectly set up: France v Fiji for gold. Hopefully live on BBC, who only showed the SFs on delay on Beeb 1.

Bronze Medal Match @ 6:00pm - South Africa vs Australia
Gold Medal Match @ 6:45pm - France vs Fiji For a neutral possibly the dream gold medal match - the hosts against the defending Olympic champions. Hopefully it will be an absolute cracker of a final.

I believe that the Beeb said that the bronze medal match would be shown live on BBC2 and the gold medal match live on BBC1.
