Bring it on. Wish Scott (LFC#1) and Taff were still around so I could tease them about the impending All Black implosion and, well lets face it, we don't need an excuse to take the mick out of the Welsh

Anyway it's New Zealand's to lose but the pressure on them at home is massive. Australia beat them last week and are dangerous. South Africa are the defending champions, France can beat anybody on their day and England are a seasoned tournament team who know how to get to finals.

Should be great!

I fancy Australia to win it, New Zealand seem to be dipping in form again, they always do before the World cup, glad I'm not a kiwi, must be so annoying. South Africa are not great, neither is England and France are to hit and miss to last a whole tournament.

The argies, 9.30am (GMT) saturday morning. Not an easy game by any means, they are widely seen as having one of the best scrums in international rugby.

It's not even on teresterial TV over here :angry:

well, this game isn't.

I tell you what, if Australia had been hosting it, you can bet it would be in yer face. Their neighbours are hosting it and it's like it's hardly even on over here. :angry:

f.ucking Ozzie bias tw@ts!

C'mon you f.ucking Pommies - lets teach the world an imperial lesson!

if only tonga showed up in the first half like they did in the second.

all in all, a little bit stuttering from the all blacks but it's still very early doors. they'll get considerably better. in many ways you don't want to be hitting your best form early in the tournament anyway.

Whoever said that New Zealand weren't looking in the greatest of form may as well eat their words. OK, they were playing Tonga, but they were simply awesome! New Zealand 41 - 10 Tonga.

Egg Chasing

"A game where unskillful but strong "men" chase an egg round a pitch for a while, occasionally getting points for trying and very very simple kicking."

Rugby world cup starts today

Loads of posh middle class men watching some fella kick a ball over a bar

Bit like stamford bridge when Torres is playing

Crackin' game. Love watching it. No prima donnas on the pitch, just dedicated sportsmen. None of this trying to get a yellow card for an opponent lark either....
