Can't believe no one has started a thread on this yet,,Started today with tournament favourites the All Blacks beating Tonga.
Our first Game is sunday against the USA,, anniversary of 9/11 and they should be really fired up but reckon we will win comfortably enough.
Brian O Driscoll's last chance to shine on a world stage and if we recapture our grand slam form we could be in with a chance of challenging the southern hemisphere teams.
Best of luck to lads,,,thumbs up

Well, depending on the outcome of the final, there could be quite a bit of noise to come yet laugh

I'll post predictions tomorrow and you can decide if we're starting from Saturday or Sunday. Wait and see what the response is like

A guy I know has a cigarette ligher "Dublin, All Ireland Champions 1992" He bought it on the way into the final laugh

In fairness though, and I know you don't want to hear this, the genuine Dub fan is great....it's the media and the "bandwagon" jumpers that do my head in doh

Anyway, hijack over......here's to a great world cup cheers
