So I'm extremely behind in the Rugby World Cupdates . . . in fact, I've missed six rounds of competition including the quarter and semi-finals. So . . . yeah, that happened.
Anyway, here's a selection of my favourite pictures from the RWC from the official website.
We had a caption contest
South Africa gave reach around a whole new definition in their game against Wales
This sheep was really excited for England
Morphsuits are amazing, and are the only things on the planet that make planking not stupid.
Richard Kahui tumbling across the try line against Japan
Romania got confused in their game against England - you're NOT supposed to push the pole, guys. Look at this picture, then consider this:
Do you see how the post is BEHIND the end zone? You know, so it doesn't disrupt play? Rugby officials haven't quite figured how to make the game not stupid.
Canada versus Tonga. Canada tied this match
As the youngest member of the Wallabies, James O'Connor (22) is forced to carry the mascot Wally wherever he goes. He's now been carrying Wally around since 2008.
I cheered for Scotland. A lot. This was one reason.
This was the other.
I think that's all I got for now. Saturday night is Wales vs. Australia for the 3rd place prize, which is mostly a victory lap for retiring players.
Also, New Zealand vs. France in the final on Sunday night. Labour Day is Monday, and I certainly won't be working hard.
