Guys,
What are your thoughts for match threads this weekend/next/tour?
There are a truckload of games not all with big audiences on here.
Matches overlap each other time wise.

The main issue with the weekend thread idea is the game overlap. Right at the start, some will continue to watch NZ others will flip to the Eng game.

Given the poster breakdown on here I don't think anyone's really going to be watching the Ireland - Japan game which mitigates one clash.

Perhaps 2 threads.
Thread 1
Italy v NZ
Ireland v Japan
Scotland v Aus
Thread 2
England v Tonga
Wales v South Africa

Split it into pairs. Ita/NZ + Ire/Bok and another thread for the other two.
Great minds think alike, and fools seldom differ.

Done. Although it appears the Saffers have created their own one.

Sorry my mistake. Mods can delete the one I created.
Weekend thread is excellent!

I very much prefer individual match threads, but I'm clearly in the minority.

Still in the minority but no longer all alone.

I'd prefer a thread per game

That's OK I will do a Latin thread for France Argentina.

Which might present a surprise result.
