Rugby World Cup 2011

[dec11]

wahoo, proper sport on tv for afew weeks!!!

not the easiest game to predict, and although it pains me to say it, i think England are dark horse this time around. Ireland would need a hell of a step up from the warm up series.

the usual hype surrounds New Zealand but they always seem to crash and burn. An on form French team are unstoppable imho.

whats your prediction and why?

[stevey_6t9]

Australia geeze.... super 14 team/tri nations champs.

We coming for you irish dec, prepare your anus. lol

[musclestack]

South Africa.....Go Boks!!

Yea, I'm going to be supporting the Springboks, not only because I live in Africa and have been supporting them for the past 2 years, but also because they are the current cup holders and most of the team is returning from when they won it in '07. Competition would have to be New Zealand, and rightfully so; I have tons of respect for the team. Others would be France and Australia.

Either way, it's going to be a great cup. May the best team win!

[Nooomoto]

All Blacks! Actually I don't care who wins, just excited to see some great rugby on TV and do some drinking while I'm at it.

haha, i think yous have blown your loads to0 soon and will exit at the semi's, skippy

[auslifta]

For the world cup, I'd love nothing more than to see All Blacks/Wallabies final. I just could'nt stand to put up with all my kiwi mates if they get up. You have to think All Blacks are the favourites at home, but they are renowned to choke at the end.

I'm still going to tip them to win. France are dark horse to make the semi's. If you're into betting, back Australia and NZ to make it out of groups without a loss.

Go Wallabies!

the south african team who faced Oz in the tri nations wasnt even a 2nd team, it was a third team, they were holding back for the world cup, they are going to be a force to reckon with also.

for betting i reckon england and france are the worthwhile bet, good odds, well there was last week anyhow

[DCI]

I think it will be NZ and a number of these four teams in the final. England, SA, The OZzzies and the English. I don't think Ireland will do great even though I would want them to do well.

[dec11]

shakey start from england, worst ive ever seen wilkinson!!

namibia and fiji was a great game

japan showed flashes of brilliance against france but lack the staying power

hoping ireland give us a bit of something to have faith in tomorrow

err, damien mate, england and the english, how would that work in a final?! lol, ya muppet

[DCI]

Lmao, was rushing out the door when I wrote that Shut up ya nordy prick I mean't English and the french lol

you guys are decimating italy atm!!!! thought they were gona cause yous probs judging by 1st half.

[auslifta]

first half was terrible. Second was better, saw alot of areas that need work. Bring on Ireland

[wmaousley]

NCAA football is also on TV for the next few months

[DCI]

Dear lord Ireland may want to just leave before they play OZ next week WTF

[auslifta]

Why are England trying to look like the All Blacks? i've never seen them in black before.

wasnt so bad, conditions were awful. i'd liked to have seen that 4th try for the bonus point.

defo seems to be something up with the balls, too many kicks being fluffed to blame players

psychological ploy?

dunno about that mate, they seemed to be able to turn it on in an instant when they wanted to, sign of a dangerous controlling team

[auslifta]

Yeah I agree, and alot of their plays would be saved for the big games(it was Italy). But there was some sloppy passes and loose rucks. I'm not much of a rugby fan unless tri nations or world cup TBH. I much prefer rugby league. Rugby is played by the rich private school boys here. O'connor, Beale and Digby are the guys that can change the game for us.

was pretty much like that everywhere until it went pro

[dec11]

surprisingly, wales gave the boks a good run and for me were the better side

[Booz]

England usually have a shaky start in the world cups but have a look at our previouse finishes,we usually make the quarters,semis and last two made the final as well as winning it in 2003 i think?
weve had a bad few years tho,not enough roids lol......................

what you reckon to the match balls? very unlike sexton and wilkinson to be missing kicks like that, even o'gara missed a bread and butter kick. wilkinson being his usual humble self blamed himself, but i think the balls have something to do with it. i think we'll be seeing alot more kicks to to lines for line outs next w'end

[Hoggage_54]

They disrespected us by resting 9 of their players, thinking we were easy.

[dec11]

Ireland may aswell not bother turning up tomorrow.

[terraj]

Watching Oz V Ire now, 34 mins in, I call us by 6

[terraj]

I've not looked at how the comp plays out with regards to placement within each group.....but that was beyond poor from Oz, I think we threw that game.

But good for the Green men, if another team were to win the cup, I would hope it would be the Irish.

[DCI]

Holy jesus weeppped I never thought that was going to happen. Now I shall lord it over all the Ozzie people in Ireland

[stevey_6t9]
