Wales 29 - 31 Fiji (Live)

I love sports. Currently on a lunch break, just about to get back to it, but how can you not be captivated by the live bbc commentary on the Rugby world cup. 20 minutes to go as we type with the scoreline above. How about these two comments in the running blog on the Wales game:

51 mins TRY WALES 29-25 FIJI:Have I suffered a bang on the head here and slipped into a parallel universe? Another Welsh try!! ... I hope someone tape that half-time Welsh team-talk, because evidently it has magic powers, This is turning into one of the most remarkable rugby matches I have ever seen.

68 mins: "We are watching this whilst cruising the nile. I am the only Welsh person on the cruise. Please please come on the boys or i'll have stick all night!" Vicky, via text

Please come on the boys - love it. I have nothing in this game, but marvel to think of the drama unfolding during an otherwise tedious afternoon of meetings, and just because of the UK sportswriters would like to see them pull this out. Excellent.

UPDATE: Wales scored a try to take the lead, but Fiji hit back in the closing minutes to win. By all accounts a marvelous spectacle. Says Andy Bull of the Guardian: "Can I just say wow? Over and over and over again. Surely this was the best World Cup game since the France v New Zealand semi-final of 1999, certainly it was the best match of this tournament so far, and without doubt it was the best game of rugby I've ever seen in the flesh... This was a game that rugby romantics dream about, free flowing and utterly absorbing, settled in the final minute of normal time by a nearly imperceptible try that had to be played and replayed on the big screen before it was given. A quick look down at my pad shows that my notes at that moment read: 'Try! Try! Try! Try!' "
