Ok the work starts here. Now we know for sure that ITV will be showing the 2011 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand we need to find a way of making their coverage enjoyable… which means drinking vast quantities of alcohol. So a drinking game sounds to be the perfect solution.
This is a collaboration so please do use the comments below to suggest new phrases to drink to, or new ideas, changes etc.
The Rules
Are simple, played much the same way as many other TV drinking games. Everytime you hear or see one of the things below you take the corresponding amount of ‘fingers’ from your beer (hard core players can try doing it with shots). This game is NOT to be played whilst watching England as you will end up wasted inside about 5 minutes. Games in their pool are also not recommended.
Drink 1 Finger When
- You hear someone say 2003
- You hear someone mention Wilkinson
- You hear someone mention Sir Clive Woodward
- We have to sit through some 2003 highlights
- Stuart Barnes mentions Munster when talking about Ireland
- Choose a player before each game, every time their name is mentioned by the commentary – Take 1 finger. Used to be lethal when Gregor Townsend was playing and Bill McLaren was announcing.
- 1 finger every time an announcer says “you can follow all the world cup action on” and mentions any sort of online stuff
Drink 2 Fingers When
- Someone mentions how the game being watched will effect England’s chances
- Sod it – any time anyone mentions England in a game that has nothing to do with them
- Will Greenwood verbally ejaculates over a player (anyone with Sky Sports will know what I mean)
- Gavin Henson is mentioned (assuming he isn’t back, playing and in the Welsh squad)
Finish Your Drink When (if)
- Wales beat a Pacific Islands team
- New Zealand choke. Finish 2 if it was against France
Please do help out by adding more ideas in the comments or to our Welsh Rugby Forum

1 finger everytime Stu Barnes says “Munster” while talking about Ireland. You’ll be pished!
Added!!!
Also added your blog to the blog roll
1 finger every time Stu Barnes uses “sublime” to describe Brian O’Driscoll
…as he reminds us all of his sublime interception try against Munster
1 finger every time an announcer says “you can follow all the world cup action on our facebook and twitter”
so common in the US now, you’ll be falling down by the first half of the first game!

Cheers guys, been added. Keep ‘em coming!
One finger when Stuart Barnes uses a word you have to look up, Like “CORRUSCATING”.
I have to say, this a great blog.
My contribution;
One finger when somebody makes it known that ITV have made a cock-up with the scoring, timing or naming of players and statistics.
Does anybody know if Stuart Barnes has actually been signed up for the commentary?
Thanks, you killed my liver ITV.
