Good luck with your game this weekend chaps and good luck with finding somewhere to watch the England game!
4 years ago I was in the US when England played France in the semi and had no chance of watching. In fact it took ages wading through pages of college football reports and other top sport in the paper before I found 1 column inch giving the scores of the 2 semis  .
Typical! |

Perhaps the Vets played under a pseudonym to protect the good name of Derby RFC !! |

as found on the austrian website http://www.rugby-austria.at/content/deutsch/news/5c1eb18567281c9fdd6c.php :-
Im nicht weit entfernten Salzburg, in Bruck an der Glocknerstrasse konnte das Herren Nationalteam einen nie gefährdeten Sieg gegen eine Auswahl des Veteran Clubs Old Wesley feiern. Das junge und international noch recht unerfahrene Team unter der Sportlichen Leitung von Trainer Gael Moussyet konnte von Beginn an technisch und spielerisch überzeugen und am Ende auf 79 zu 5 Zählern stellen. Am gleichen Abend konnten die Engländer zumindest ihr eigenes Nationalteam feiern, dass in einer schwachen Vorstellung mit den gewohnt routinierten Kicks einen knappen Sieg über Frankreich feiern und damit ins Finale der WM einziehen.
which roughly translated by babelfis says:-
In the Salzburg removed not far, in Bruck to the Glocknerstrasse could that Mr. Nationalteam a victory never endangered against a selection veteran of the club old Wesley celebrate. The young and internationally still quite inexperienced team under the sporty direction of coach Gael Moussyet could convince from the beginning technically and spielerisch and place at the end on 79 to 5 counters. In the same evening the Englishmen could celebrate at least their own national team the fact that in a weak conception with the used experienced Kicks it celebrates a scarce victory over France and so that into the final of the WM draws. |

Was in the US (Cincinnati) last week when the England vs Tonga game was on. Couldn't get the game at the hotel or any of the downtown sports bars. Had to settle for mobile phone updates and a couple of beers. I couldn't find even the result in the following day's paper. Women's live football did make the TV though. Parochial illegitimate ignoramuses.
