Funny that. Bath rugby crowds are not a lot bigger than ours (ie <50% more).
Because the ground is full and they can't get planning permission for a larger ground. This year they sold out of season tickets and have a full waiting list, at prices roughly double what we pay. Not always been the case, but in recent years since they've been really successful, you can't get a ticket for all the tea in china. |

They should come in on the redevelopment of an expanded CG and ground-share. |

Not sure we would be favourites to win the pool, Australia and Wales are good sides and Fuji are no mugs.
There is a chance we might not get out of the group at all.
Wales are without their first choice full back and scrum half. They're still a good side, yes, but not the threat they should be. I fancy us to beat the Aussies too. |

There was talk of them ground sharing 10 years or so ago when they were first looking at a new stadium. |

Maybe time to revive the discussion. If Power hasn't quietly done so already of course. |

That's a good point about the Welsh injuries to key players, it will be interesting how they fare without them. I don't follow rugby too closely but the Australians are always strong and dangerous. |

Hmm. If what the man says is right about not being able to expand there and missing out on much bigger crowds, I wouldn't be so sure. Who would have thought that Wops would play in Watford, Saccarine in Reading or London Belch on a sewage farm? |

job done, 4points for a win plus the bonus point for a 4th try in the last play of the match. The bonus point could be crucial if England, Wales and Oz take points off each other. Ironically it was a Mr Vunipola crashing over for the final try against the South Sea islanders. First trip for me to the Amex will unexpectedly be to see USA v Samoa this Sunday (both of whom Scotland will have to better in their group if they are to get through to the knock out stages) Can't wait!  |

Never watched Rugby before that and I enjoyed it.
