Anyone know a sports store or other in Switzerland carrying the rugby jerseys? Due to some life circumstances, I left getting my husband his birthday gift too late (South African jersey, online is super expensive shipping and I don’t think it would be on time either). I’m roughly equidistant from Neuchâtel, Fribourg and Lausanne.

Most entertaining match of the tournament so far. But the refereeing was poor - they really need to get a consistent line with high and no arm tackles. The physicality of the games is only going to increase at the knockout stages.

Are there any England fans going to be watching on Saturday for the Chile and then South Africa Ireland games? I was looking at Kennedies in Zurich to watch.

There should be two intense / interesting games this weekend. As a keen irish fan, I'm really looking forward to the Ire V SA game.
The 7-1 split by SA is really fascinating.
And Wales Vs Aus could be really interesting too.

Absolutely the best two teams in the world! This could/should have been a final game. Well done Ireland! The physicality though...I expected SA to be dominating this aspect, but the Greens were outstanding. And Andy Farell making all these changes 20-15 before the end? Genius! I'm still hyped up...awesome game!

As to the best in the world - the fat Lady still has a month to go before she gets on stage.

So many family and friends from France and Ireland - if they both make it and face each other, it will feel like civil war |

If there's any "fairness" in sport, this should be the final game. France, however, are not as consistent as Ireland or South Africa. Also, I expect the All Blacks to wake up and show their true colors. On top, Dupont is practically irreplaceable.

Missed the game last night, but happy to just now see Wales eliminate Australia.

Wales were excellent and Australia were absolutely rubbish.
The level of effort out of some of the australian players last night was dreadful.
But Wales are looking very good at the moment, which I don't think many would have expected before the tournament.
