Say what you like about 'em I have a Scottish heritage, actually that's no better is it?

England are playing like absolute shit at the moment. Fuckin' terrible rugby.

I agree with Jerome: they won't go far this time.....

England fans are keeping the faith: they're hoping that a special ruiling comes in which allows only their team to be field 20 players in every game.

Even then, they struggle to get out of the group stage

How does anyone rate South Africa?

Are they the dark horse of the competition?

Indeed, I am.

Will you be jumping off the couch and doing the Haka in your living room, Dan?

I'm curious about the French side. Are they any good? Would think a home-crowd would work well in their favour.

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.

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.

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.
