Nice welcome Very Happy Even if the team is pretty mediocre (still better than some years ago) there's a constantly increasing number of people following rugby/different sports from football here, and it's definitely a good thing Razz

Unfortunately the public TV will no longer broadcast the World Cup (Sky bought all the rights as usual), I'll try to watch it at Rojadirecta when possible
