I did the same with Olympic tickets, would have cost me the best part of a grand if I'd got the lot. In the end I only got about £150 worth.
I've applied for the England game in Manchester and England-Australia at Twickenham. I'll be happy with either of them. |

RFU defends new 'one year only' kits
I kinda like the red strip. Probably will get one next week, when they're out. No point getting the home kit though, I can see why people would be annoyed at the short term nature of the kit's usage. |

I just applied for £1200 worth of tickets.........in the hope that I get a third of what I have applied for.......I am slightly frightened if I get all of my allocation I will be broke for a year.......
The games @ Gloucester are currently rates as "medium" demand, for two of the games you can order up to 15 so I hope to get tickets for at least two those two and the game @ Millennium, which is likely to be All Blacks v Ireland or France, is only currently seeing "low" demand! It has changed a lot since the last RWC game @ Kingsholm when the ABs played USA, tickets were very easy to get! |

It is done on a ballot basis, not first come, first served. So if you apply for tickets today or wait a week you should still have the same chance of getting the tickerts you want.

Sun, 20 Sep 16:45 New Zealand v Argentina Sat, 3 Oct 20:00 England v Australia Sun, 4 Oct 16:45 Ireland v Italy Wed, 7 Oct 16:45 South Africa v USA Sat, 10 Oct 16:45 Australia v Wales I decided against the "next best price" option, don't think I could afford all those category A games

Toulon may terminate Halfpenny's contract
It seems unlikely but I suppose they could cut their losses if need be. |

London Welsh clearly lack fitness - 2nd week in a row they have shipped points late on having been in the game.
Mind you I guess that's better than not being in one at all... |

Interesting situation developing in tonight's Zebre v Ospreys match.
Dan Biggar suffered a head bump early in the match. He went off for a HIA (head injury assessment) and was replaced by Sam Davies. The latest IRB concussion protocol dictates that any replacement on for the duration of a concussion assessment cannot kick a goal. Sam Davies has just slotted a penalty. This means either 1) Dan Biggar cannot come back on and has been SUBSTITUTED, not replaced. 2) Sam Davies and the Ospreys have just committed an act contrary to the IRB law. We'll see how it goes. (BBC 2 Wales, live now) Incidentally this shows how ridiculous this rule is - that through no fault of their own, the Ospreys are penalised by not having a kicker on the field? I guess it prevents abuse of the rule somewhat, but surely if there's enough evidence to mandate a HIA then surely they should be allowed to replace like-for-like? EDIT : Just been confirmed that Biggar is OK, but off for the duration (73 minutes) |

Good to watch the ABs go down to the Boks with a last minute penalty.

http://www.espn.co.uk/premiership-20...ry/243175.html Terrible decision and a kick in the teeth for us fans, sad day for the club. I can't believe there weren't viable alternatives based in London, even if it meant ground sharing with a Non-Premier League side. |

Armitage heading back to Premiership?
Hmm this has come out of nowhere, I guess his bluff to try to play for France didn't work. It seems the whole qualification criteria wasn't as simple as just getting a French passport.

I got bugger all. Glad your happy and in no way is it your fault but think it would have been fairer if you got one match and your other match went to someone else with nothing. Seems people like me got nothing whilst others got 5 or 6 games in some cases.

How did anyone else get on?![]() I got the 'Sorry you've been unsuccessful'. Never mind though, it's all on the tv, will have to put the sound on mute if Barnes is on the mic!! ![]() I did think the prices were very high though. These days I'm sure they take us all for suckers, who will pay any price for tickets. I would have paid if I had been fortunate to get tickets, but they were still over the top considering it is only an hour and a 20 minutes of rugby!! Hope they are great matches ........ and Wales win!!
