For me, it was very important but that could differ depending on how much life is in your current pair. When I started running, I used a basic pair of trainers and it caused a lot of shin pain. A gait analysis showed I needed more supportive shoes, and that made running immediately more comfortable

Fiji v Wales
France v Scotland
Australia v Japan
England V Italy

And some potential quarter final matches being:

South Africa v New Zealand
Ireland v Argentina

All in all, looks pretty tasty

Pool D Winner - Ireland
Pool D Runner Up - Scotland

Pool E Winner - France
Pool E Runner Up - Japan

Pool F Winner - England
Pool F Runner Up - Wales

Predicting the round of 16 is tough due to the format, but there are some matches I can suggest based on the above including...

Did my maths slightly wrong. £310 for a weekend arena ticket, £690 for a twin room in that hotel. If I found someone to split the room with, my weekend before food, drink, merch and travel would cost £655.

The lineup is fine. It is not worth £655 to me.

I should stress, last time I went. That was in 2019, and I know prices have gone up since covid.

This is a bit grim. Also, if she's driven mad seeing adverts with black and Asian people in, she's a racist. Not entirely sure that needs arguments on both sides.
