RUGBY world cup

[sheepy]

just a discussion thred for the RWC!

At the moment im sitting here with the argies beathing the frogs.

enjoying this especially with the french loosing

Obviously Newzeland are he odds on favs but who are ur tips to do well this year.

personally im hoping that the french really do badly, especially with some of the background to this years RWC hosted by them. (£150 a ticket for bad seats cheepest for englad games!)

[sheepy]

only the 2nd time the hosts have lost the opening game in the RWC!!!!!!!

brilliant! now i just want ireland to beat the frogs to knock them out in the group stage !!!!!!!

My opinion is that the Aussies will win.

[sheepy]

Australia 89 - Japan 3

they looked Impressive today, good result for England aswell, but think there should of been a bigger margin!

[Gone_Away]

come on England!!

[Benny]

It's all they're good for....

[Thulsa Doom]

Can't see many Northern Hemisphere countries doing it, will likely be one of OZ/NZ/SA.
That's if they get by Scotland :yahoo:.

[A Twig]

England will be lucky to scrape out of the group IMO

Ireland are over the hill

Scotland didn't exactly inspire confidence in their win

Wales somewhat hysterically almost lost to Canada

France are displaying that typical habit of just not turning up to big games

You can never write off the Aussies

South Africa are looking very powerful but Habana aside are very one-dimensional as long as Butch James remains at fly half I reckon. Steyn is a talent but like the rest of the SA backline only really shines behind a pack that are going forward...

New Zealand will choke as per usual

Final will be Australia vs France I think

[sheepy]

france in the final.

no way imo. especially after the loss to the Argies

[Coaxafkone]

ENG vs. RSA tonight. 7:30 ITV1.

[suicidal_monkey]

Scotland ftw!

England seem to be in all sorts of trouble, but hopefully what that means is they will just go out there and play using instinct rather than trying too hard and messing it up all the time.  I have been banned (!) From wearing my Springboks T-shirt for the next week or two :flirty: but my Scotland ones are seeing good use.

having said that New Zealand do look like  they should win it as long as they don't choke, but then they always seem to choke before reaching the final.  Kind of half dreading, half looking forward to the New Zealand versus Scotland game -- with a bit of luck Scotland will come out of it fighting fit and ready to wipe out Italy:boxing:
