Lemmy lacks polls, strawpoll to the rescue. And these are just some of the games of course, but vote and let us all decide!

Quarter finals preview tomorrow I think

I can definitely understand that viewpoint. As a Springbok supporter, my view on that game is definitely biased. As a neutral, something like the Fiji-Portugal game yesterday was also insane, however that would never get my heart pounding like a Springbok game, no matter what style of rugby is being played.

Yeah an ABs game gets my heart racing more for sure; but i'm getting old - I don't need that, lol!

But also I think as I get older, I want to watch sport as a fun escapism thing, much different from my 20s when I watched sport more like it was war. As i've switched my reasons for watching i've actually found watching more enjoyable, and a lot less stressful. Results also don't get me as fired up or down as they used to either, and on the whole I feel like its a better way to enjoy sport for me.

ie, enjoy the spectacle and the journey as much as the result; before i'd be all result, who cares how.
