Give us your run down chaps I’ll be at my best mates, a mad Pom GP who is 15min down the road. He can’t stand Ben Youngs and Tuilagi!! - he would get on well with Moz!! It’s a good thing my youngest son won’t be with me as he supports England given he was 18 months old when we arrived here. He lives in London. Love that boy but he has shit taste in supporting England!! Come on the Boks

I know a Pom who will be visi ting, along with my sister etc - big rugby fan, misguided Guppy supporter. Not many people are into rugby around here.

In Blaine, Washington State with a group of buddies from England, Oz, Canada, Rhodesia, Seychelles, USA and of course Saffers..

We are recording the game and then watching it at noon (PST) with a braai, Castle and billy.

All are SA rugby supporters and some players who were greats.

Trust that the headache most will have on Sunday is not in vain.

Up Bokke from the Castle Corner supporters. .

Better alone than with a Pom! My sister's boyfriend. To his credit, he is usually heavily critical of England, but a World Cup win will see that Pom gloating come to the surface.

I don't miss those days being in England. At least here, if we are humiliated, I can let it slide without the Bok shaming.

I will be asleep....watching the recording at 8.00 am on my   projection screen with my brother and his son. My wife will pop in occasionally with a pessimistic view.

Go Bokke, go Stephanie, go Dud!

Somewhere in South Africa, Dave. Alone is good for rugby. I don't like noise and distraction. Rugby people tend to be loud.

Thankfully here on Mud Island kick off is 9am so I need to get to Doc by 8.30am which is handy I had a feeling before the WC started that we would win it. I’m getting close Can we do it boys? We have to Come on boys Enjoy the match guys we’ll all be bricking it. There are rugby followers out there and then there is us - a band of brothers where let’s face it, rugby is an obsession - well close - it’s a religion

Israel, Eilat to be more specific. I'll be watching the recording as well. These start times aren't very convenient for me, and I'll enjoy it more later in the evening than in the morning.

I don't enjoy the game as much when there's a lot of people around, I prefer to focus on the game that way I get the feel of the game, any distractions like noise irritate me. My son born in Oz is a big saffa fan, he'll be watching the game with me and help me struggle through a bag of Billi and some good Ozzie beer.

The game starts at  7.50pm which makes for perfect viewing time.

At home. With just my partner.

I need company at a braai. People are just annoying when trying to watch sport.

These days everyone my age brings a few toddlers with them everywhere. And they all think it's cute when their little nightmare/demon spawn stands in front of the tv.

In Soi 4 in Bangkok with mates, started drinking an hour ago.

Find a bar with no Pom supporters so i can enjoy the game. Then off to the tittie bars. Could only be better if we were in the final

But go the Boks

Alright gents, whinging Pom here. Just wanna wish you guys well wherever you’re watching and here’s to a great final. We like to moan and argue but rugby also unifies us all. I can’t think of a team I’d rather see win the trophy if we don’t. All the best!

From behind the couch with the missus (she knows more about the game than a lot of those here)and lad, was invited to the club for the full English brekkers and game but I don't know what sworse..... the smugness if they win or the whining if we do.  
Good luck all and may all here have a great RWC final day.
Great thread Dave!
