The rugby world cup is starting on the 7th and it suprised me that England's first game is against the US as i've never seen the US even play! :?
Just wondering if its going to get any coverage over there?
I hope they make it out of Pool A so they can play Wales :twisted:

It should do, on ESPN.

Who's your favourite's to win?

I think that New Zealand are most likely to win the Webb Ellis but from Europe, I think it's a tie between Ireland & France to win. I hope Ireland win.

Also, the US are gonna get battered. :P

Im more worried about the Irish teams chances...after our last few friendlies,I find it highly unlikely we'll manage to beat Argentina,never mind France...and a 2nd place in the gtoup nets us the All Blacks in the next round...Bloody brilliant.

I hope New Zealand wins. We finally have a good team, and England and Australia have been sucking like hoovers lately. Im predicting New Zealand vs. South Africa for the final.

Japan v Georgia final :)

NZ are always favourite obviously and they have the easiest group too :(

Wales will almost certainly get into first round.

US aren't likely to though I think England and South africa will win the group comfortably.

We have the easiest group? Haha, awesome. As for England, they only won last time because of Wilkenson. All he would do is repeatedly drop kick and score field goals. The rest of the team sucks and wouldnt have won if he wasnt there. It was a cowardly way to win the cup.

I know my thoughts on 2003 too, they just kicked at all possible times.

Thank God, im not alone in this belief. I just hope Australia and England dont win it. The South Africans have been playing very well lately, and if we're in the final with them I hope we dont get food poisoning by their cooks again. Bad memories...
