Apparently that's what people are saying on Twitter. At least they didn't mime

Must be weird singing non-acoustic music just 4 of you and no band, on a silent stage. Though they're rappers, rappers aren't expected to be good at singing, that's what the woman is for.

edit: suddenly there are loads of instruments. Happy now?

Yeah they do. It's like the US equivalent of our public sector. Mind you with blokes that size I wouldn't want to be on my own out there.
Did you catch the beer commercial-ette?

I had but then paused again for a minute or two to go and learn the rules. Given all I've heard about the stop-start nature of the game, it's actually fairly interesting.

I must have missed that. Bound to happen though, I suppose.
There have been a few incomplete passes. Reckon you'll have caught up by now.

Yep but 13min behind, will have to try and find a dull bit to fast forward

We're only getting a limited amount of the Fox crud. I feel sorry for Gonzo.

Well we've had the anthem, Dubya is in his seat and we are nearly ready for the off. Anyone else watching?

I know they wear padding but jeez some of those players are just plain fat. It's like Rugby from a few decades ago...
