fumbler Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 This Rugby world cups is going to be one of the best, with smaller capacity Arenas the crowd will sound huge an like they are right ontop of the players, they'll get behind all the teams.Good luck to the smaller countries and go Aussies.

BrySmalls Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Wish I could be back in New Zealand right now, but nonetheless, Go All Blacks!I can feel an immature sig bet coming on. You'd think so, however, I've moved on from such a meaningless proposition.Additionally, I hope the Eagles can win at least one group match during the tournament.

NEW.ERA Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Probably going to be very tough for Canada to escape out of Group A with the Hosts, Tonga, France and Japan. They have improved a ton since 2007, so I wouldn't be surprised if they kept it close with everybody but New Zealand and to a lesser extent France.Anyways Go Ireland!

They have improved a ton since 2007, so I wouldn't be surprised if they kept it close with everybody but New Zealand and to a lesser extent France.Anyways Go Ireland!2 wins should be the goal for Canada. Japan doesnt seem to be as strong as they were last World Cup when we drew them 12-12. Tonga is the sort of side Canada should compare themselves to, and I think with a strong showing we could come out victorious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintsfan Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 This has to be the year for the All Blacks surely!!! It's probably not the strongest New Zealand team ever, but they are hosts and noone else is that strong either. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luigi Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 well, the competition's under way with New Zealand taking out an easy victory over Tonga 41-10. Tonga played pretty well, but the all black's were too good. Looking forward to tomorrow's offerings with Argentina v England being my game to watch My fantasy teams: West Coast Cardinals (WRU), Glasgow Claymores (RLI) (Champions 2012) and Pemberton Foresters (VBL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
