Lemmy lacks polls, strawpoll to the rescue. And these are just some of the games of course, but vote and let us all decide!

Quarter finals preview tomorrow I think

      See that’s where I sorta disagree, tense games are heart racing if you’re invested in the stakes, but if you’re not and the rugby being played is the brutal attrition sort they’re not really fun to watch.

        I can definitely understand that viewpoint. As a Springbok supporter, my view on that game is definitely biased. As a neutral, something like the Fiji-Portugal game yesterday was also insane, however that would never get my heart pounding like a Springbok game, no matter what style of rugby is being played.

          Yeah an ABs game gets my heart racing more for sure; but i’m getting old - I don’t need that, lol!

          But also I think as I get older, I want to watch sport as a fun escapism thing, much different from my 20s when I watched sport more like it was war. As i’ve switched my reasons for watching i’ve actually found watching more enjoyable, and a lot less stressful. Results also don’t get me as fired up or down as they used to either, and on the whole I feel like its a better way to enjoy sport for me.

          ie, enjoy the spectacle and the journey as much as the result; before i’d be all result, who cares how.
