For most people, tomorrow is just another Friday, woo it’s the weekend kind of Friday. For others it the beginning of the most intense month and half of their adult lives, it’s the RUGBY WORLD CUP. For those of you who are new to rugby or as I like to call them my 'non-rugby friends, got the jersey, what's a collapsed maul kind of person), I would like to welcome you to paradise. 4 Pools, 20 Teams, 48 Matches.
This is a step up from the Six Nations, The Six Nations was a breeze, all the matches were at the weekend, and you didn't have to factor in work, with the World Cup you need to up your game.
But don't fear, I'm here to help. I've got some new helpful advice, phrases and buzzwords that'll help you blend in at the pub.
1. You see your boss in the pub when you’re meant to be working on that report. Don’t panic, be smart, ask them would they like a drink, 6 hours later you and your boss leave the pub, go on your merry way and wait for the promotion to be in your mailbox the very next day.
2. What would you like to drink? - You say Guinness, actually, you said Guinness at the Six Nations so you say 2 Guinness (There is a reason why you have 2 hands).
3. If someone asks 'Bit sick for Trimble not making the team, what do you think - You say, well in fairness Dave Kearney presents a different style of attacking threat while Joe Schmidt is known for balancing his back line with left footed kickers, that’s why Zebo and Fitzgerald made it.*Take a sip of your pint and tap yourself on the back*
4. A very important aspect of the Rugby world Cup is to support a Tier 2 or Tier 3 Nation. Make sure you have an answer is someone asks. Fiji is a safe bet.
Now, it’s safe to say that people think you know what you're talking about. Here are a few phrases to get you through the rest of the day. FYI there are 4 matches on Saturday, Pace yourself.
1. The All Blacks are good, The Springboks are Big
2. Keith Earls deserves his chance, also scores a few against the weaker nations.
3. See the referees are clamping down on the neck roll - Whats a neck roll - Eh, hard to explain i'll let you know when it happens. (Wait until the ref calls it then tap your mate and say, thats a neck roll)
4.You know Fitzy drives a Mitzy.
5. 2 more Guinness please.
6. That Jacques Burger lad for Namibia would walk into any team.
7. All of Argentina's 31 players were born in Argentina.
8. It’s only 5 o'clock, only 2 more matches left. (Best order food now if you want to enjoy the next two matches)
9. England vs Ireland would be a great final.
10. Samoa Vs South Africa will be great for the neutral.
Hope this helps everyone. And don’t forget to enjoy your first Rugby World Cup and drink responsibly in an irresponsible manner
