End of the Cup

[wayfaringwordhack]

Few of the Cup matches turned out the way this particular fan wanted them to, but it was beautiful competition to watch, particularly the matches played by the Pacific island teams. Such joy, such energy. No matter who the victory belongs to, it is wonderful to behold on the faces of those who have fought to win it.

Rendezvous in four years in New Zealand for the seventh cup; that's one I'd like to attend in person...

Who won?

South Africa, but the English played well, didn't get stomped by the SAs like they did in the pool matches (36-0)

sigh. what am I going to watch until the next time? (I have to say living in England has definitely gotten me very interested in these multinational tournaments.)

Yeah, I know what you mean. How about the Euro 2008 qualification matches? I don't care for soccer (or football as the rest of the world calls it), but on an inter/multinational level, I can get behind even that. Now that the WRC is over, the Top 14 (the French rugby championship) will start next week. I'm going to give that a go.
