SWINDON is gearing itself up for rugby fever with flags fluttering and the chance of buying an England shirt is as likely as Nelson getting his eye back.
We can expect the streets to be silent on Saturday morning during the World Cup showdown with Australia.
Some work places are allowing rugby fans to change shifts or take an extended break when the match is on. The lucky people with a day off will be sitting before a television screen somewhere.
Whether you are a fan of the game or not, seeing your country in a world cup final is a great boost as we all cheer our boys on to victory.
