It really is. It is the most astonishing trophy that I have seen.

Is it solid gold? Must weigh a lot if it is. And be worth loads.

It is silver gilt. Too expensive otherwise. It apparently weighs 4.5 kilos.

Rugby World Cup organizers issued an extreme weather warning and closed two fanzones on Saturday as a large and powerful typhoon approaches Japan, but said matches are expected to escape unscathed. Typhoon Tapah has formed off the southwest coast of Japan and is expected to clip the western portion of the country before taking direct aim at the northern island of Hokkaido. The storm should arrive too late to affect the two matches being played in Hokkaido this weekend -- Australia against Fiji on Saturday and England v Tonga on Sunday. "The typhoon could bring high winds and heavy rain to the southern island of Kyushu on the evening of 22 September and into 23 September," World Rugby said in a statement. "While no match disruption is anticipated at this stage, we have advised teams of potential disruption to training and team movements as a precautionary measure."

Haven't seen your last post, Bob, cos I've only watched the first two games. And they were both brilliant! I was really sad for Fiji but it was kind of expected. But France! By crikey they were lucky! That penalty didn't miss by much. And a nice big brawl to finish it off!  |

The SA no 9 is a bit glam, isn't he? Waving his blonde locks about. |

Ireland vs Scotland {SPOILER:Click to Show}Full-time Ireland 27-3 Scotland
Ireland strike a monumental blow in the battle to top Pool A. They didn't just beat Scotland, they pulverised them.
Ruthless in attack, scoring four tries, and absolutely brutal in defence, keeping a Scotland team with so many dangerous attackers to a solitary penalty.
Joe Schmidt and his team have answered a few critics today and emphatically silenced any suggestions they had peaked too soon for the showpiece.
For Gregor Townsend, this is another chastening defeat against a Six Nations rival - and this on the biggest stage of all. The Scotland head coach has some serious questions to answer. |

I love the Scottish Anthem. Especially at Murrayfield where the music stops and they let the crowd sing it.
