I am English ( mostly ).
My OH is French
I have two uncles plus lots cousins and a niece in Oz & NZ
One GGF was from Galloway and he married a Dubliner ; one of her descendants plays for Wales.
So mostly I can root for the rugby winners :-)

Today my heart was with Oz but New Zealand are unstoppable. Oz gave it their all though and it was a thrilling match right to the end. How anybody could find it boring I ain't got a clue.

England need to start again at the beginning with somebody telling them what a rugby ball looks like, where to find one and what to do with it.

Some recommended places to go in Gloucestershire:

(1) http://www.gloucesterrugby.co.uk/
(2) http://cheltenham.thejockeyclub.co.uk/events-tickets/whats-on/gold-cup-day
(3) http://thewoolpackslad.com/
(4) Stroud mills http://www.visitthecotswolds.org.uk/general.asp?pid=22&pgid=822
(5) http://www.thornburycastle.co.uk/
(6) http://www.regentarcade.co.uk/
(7) http://www.wwt.org.uk/wetland-centres/slimbridge/

At a minimum FreeView pumps out around 30 channels Virgin, Sky, TalkTalk > 100 plus there is catch up TV. Lots of thrilling stuff I guess Challenge, policemen spending vast sums and risking our necks to stop boy racers, Dave. mTV, I dunno 'cos I don't usually watch tv Sat afternoons.

Live sport is a loved by vast numbers of people, rugby, athletics, horses, soccer, US football ... Why those who are not interested in the drama of live sport always have to moan about it I just don't know. If they think it's cool or something well it isn't. People who watch ( and play ) sport also fork out for TV licences and subs.

As it has been a lovely day the obvious option was to take some outdoor exercise and forget about the rugby.

Terrific final btw.
