O.k People,let the countdown begin.
Less than two months to go and my fever is on Hot to Trot.
Everyone who Loves The Game has a Country to support and i know That England are World Champions,but for how long?
It has been 20 years since The AllBlacks have won the very first World Cup back in 1987 and it's about Time We did it again.
Who do you support and who do you think will win The Cup?
BTW....Go The AllBlacks.
Can't see England do very well at all to be honest, they are not the team they were last time around.
Despite their performance at the weekend, I think that Ireland might be worth a bit of a bet on - I could see them causing an upset given half an opportunity.
But the All Blacks have to be favourite, and I honestly just can't see anybody winning it but them this time around. The Aussies or the French will be in the final with them (unless I'm right about Ireland).
I won't really be supporting anyone, as it's not really my game: always prefered League personally, which I played until I was 16.
The Power Of The Riff Compels Me
Can't believe it's another Rugby World Cup again. Wendell Sailor must be spewin' right now!
Naturally, I'll be going for the Wallabies, but think the All Blacks this year are good chance to win it.
I prefer League too, binnie. But always hop on the Rugby bandwagon every 4 years.
Yeah, me too.Originally posted by Grant

I'll watch it, but I'll spend most of my time shouting at the TV "why are they kicking it so much?" or "why can't they fucking tackle properly?" lol.
Seriously though, I am looking forward to it. I think the All Blacks will win, but some of the other teams are on great form too...

My brother's going to the Fiji/Canada match in Cardiff. Lucky bastard. To be able to see the mighty Canadian rugby machine in action.
Canada all the way!!
Fuck, even I can't stop laughing.
I've got no favorite; just love watching the game. The World Cup is about the only Rugby that gets any coverage over here. We might get to see a dozen games, which will have to do.

I've got a mate who's got a bet on Italy making the semi's. He's sees them as the outside chance, but I can't fathom why!
Some people just can't see the bigger picture

Some people just can't see the bigger pictureWell said. The Italian team was hired years ago, to make 6 national teams, and I still wonder about the accuracy of their presence, though they beat Scotland a couple of times. :confused:
But I'm talking Tournament here, sorry.
I've just checked the result of the 2nd test match between France and England...
France 22:09 England
I never could stand the English team, ever since I got interested in rugby in the early 1980s. It always rejoices me when they lose, with such scores in particular. 9 points means they didn't even score a try (fucking drop and penalty kickersI hate that, that AIN'T rugby!)...
OK, it's only warm-up, but I sense the English will sink fast this time - at least I hope so.
I'm no chauvinist at all. I hope the Irish will go far. If the French develop their open game, they will have my support as well, though.
Both France and Ireland offer beautiful, ballsy rugby games.
The Blacks seem to be the strongest 15. But let's not forget the Aussie team, though they happen to have been better than they are this year. The South Africans could also do very well.
Anyway, it hasn't begun yet, so anything goes.
I'd really dig it if the Clover won this Cup.

I'll have to watch at least one of the Italian games, just to see - even in the world of Rugby - if they still take dives like pansies.Originally posted by binnie

I wish they will get out of the woods. I was hooked during the 1995 Cup, especially the final against France, which was a great match and a model of fair play - not to mention the ambiance in the stadium, Mandela, De Clercq... What a memory.Originally posted by binnie

Since they won the Tri Nations competition in 2004, the South Africans have done less and less well. This year they practically hit bottom, so it would be surprising if they did anything great in Frogland.
They're pretty strong this year. Remember, they always did at least the semis, and often reached the final, even.Originally posted by Grant

As for the crowds, there will be a "fair" proportion of dumbass chauvinists in them, even though the actual rugby fans aren't - but the World Cup effect will draw non rugby fans, which will get the support rowdier.
If the French team could reach those finals in the southern hemisphere, how wouldn't they eventually win the Cup when it takes place in their gardens?

The French side is very strong this year. They have impressed me in the games plyed recently.
With home advantage, they will definately be a force to be reckoned with.
The French Have Always Been A Team To Watch When They Play.Many Times The AllBlacks Have Been Beaten By Them.
I Hope All Of The Games Will Be Of Top Level And Keep Us Fans Clued To Our Seats.
