England is rooted ...

**Bettyboo** · 29-10-2019, 01:02 PM

^ nonsense. We are gonna win, and I will be there!

In 2003, I was in Ulaan Bataar, when we made it to the final I was on the phone booking the ticket & flight package, £2000 pounds - just at payment time I backed out; always regretted not going. This time, win or lose, I will be there...

Flight booked: arrive at Narita at 10am - somehow make my way to the stadium (I think there's trains direct(ish) which take 1.5 hours) by 6pm. Watch match, drink, make it back to the airport by 9am the next morning - no hotel required. What could possibly go wrong???

Right, next job: how do I book the train ticket from the airport to the stadium...

Good effort!

Get arrested for loitering and miss your flight?

But good effort.

At least the Boks bias at TMO will get a rest.

Kiwi Ben Skeen is the TMO, but we're all about fair play, so no worries.

**Bettyboo** · 29-10-2019, 07:08 PM

^ I think he will be a decent TMO.

The ref, shite...

But, England should be 15+ points better than the Bokks, so I hope that won't matter.

You're screwed . . . no idea where that is but it isn't in Japan

**Bettyboo** · 29-10-2019, 07:58 PM

^ I'm going somewhere that's only 1 hour from Korea, so it's China or Japan; either way I'll try to have a good time...

**HuangLao** · 29-10-2019, 09:15 PM

Bringing it home [again].

**Bettyboo** · 29-10-2019, 10:10 PM

The coffee?

Prediction time yet?

I see Friday's game being a game too far for Wales; not sure it'll be competitive with all their injuries - hope I'm wrong.

**Dillinger** · 29-10-2019, 10:29 PM

I'd forgot about that. Any excuse for a piss up.

Imagine if Wales hammered the All Black's
The confidence of winning would greatly diminish...However if Wales get a good hiding... the swagger of the Poms around the globe walking into bars with the St George flag, and in your case the Yokohama stadium, going into Saturdays Rugby World Cup Final...

ABs by 15.

Yes we would

**David48atTD** · 30-10-2019, 04:14 AM

I'll admit a had a wee tear watching the trailer

**David48atTD** · 30-10-2019, 04:27 AM

One of the best quips so far ...

---

Jones spoke to the press today ahead of their final. Some of his responses were brutal.
Warren Gatland said this weekend that he thinks that maybe England have already had their final at this tournament and that England could lose this final.
Jones’ response (@ the 40 sec mark) to this was nothing short of hilarity

Also, check out the nutrition weapon of choice which is powering England to victory this week-end (@ the 1.30 min mark)

Around the 1.50 min mark, ticket prices, up to 12k quid on the black market.
How much did the resident Ipswich Town supporter pay?
And if a cheap price, is it a genuine ticket?

Including tax: £1,564

I've been trying to get tickets from the official website for quarter final and semi final games, but found it difficult; small time frames, hard to get through, especially problems with my Korean credit card (doesn't work with their system) and my English credit card where my English phone number OTP code doesn't make it through the Korean phone system...

I did notice a hospitality section, so seeing the ridiculously high prices of tickets I thought I'd try my Korean credit card one more time buying hospitality tickets on the official WC website (because this is an outsourced product, so I thought they may use a different system which my Korean Credit card would work through; it works with Amazon and PayPal for example) - and it did work!

There are still tickets available, hospitality packages which have extra features than the basic tickets you'd buy from an online tout, for cheaper prices:

My package is the same, but with cat D tickets... (

) and no rugby awards ceremony.

It's not cheap, the basic ticket price should have been under £100 pounds, but ok, there's a package which includes food, drink and other bits and pieces too (such as sexy Japanese hospitality ladies???), so at this time, in this place, I wanna go, have the money, so why not...

Edit to add: I have some more info and pics from the RWC hospitality site now that my account has been created:

I presume it'll just be a tent or ropped off area close to the stadium with some big screens, food section, bar, etc.
