    So @JoeyIce3 , here's my concern - you've got no trading history here on BA, and both BIF's you've signed up for won't be complete until January, well after this LIF wraps up. Basically you've got no track record, and it would be very easy for you to skip out of your shipping responsibilities for those BIF's (should you lose). When you participate in a LIF you've got nothing to lose - get free beer or not, all you've invested is a post or two on a forum with the potential gain of lots of valuable beer. Hopefully you'll understand if I'm hesitant to accept you into this LIF.

    That said, there are two easy ways to become eligible... Put in your guesses for this LIF now, and then complete 3 trades or run your own LIF which you would ship before the end of the RWC in October. Hope to see your guesses soon!

    This is the most regular rugby I've ever watched. I went to the 7's tournament when I lived in Vegas and loved it. There are far too many replays but I love that the referee (assumed he's called that) is mic'd up and you can hear everything he is saying/asking to the replay booth.

    Sadly off to work I go.

    Dang you @RuckIt you hit me in the trifecta sweet spot: sports, national pride and events that only happen every couple years. Go USA!

    Anyone else watching?

    Yes! Tough game for the US this morning.

    The All Blacks are playing next. I would watch their game even if it ended after the Haka.

    Anybody watching New Zealand putting on the hurt on Namibia? I hope they are going to cover my point differential question.

    75.5 point favorites?! Wow, I thought I was possibly a little high with my guess of 55. Looks like I'm pulling for Namibia to 'keep it close'.
