So to all you rugby fans out there, including me the World Cup started today. Tomorrow my favourite team, the All Blacks will take on Italy. I see in the final match New Zealand versus South Africa. What about the rest of you.
France lost surprisingly....but I am not too unhappy...I like the All Blacks they are great...but ...I hope that the Irish team with enough faith can make it to the final they haven't been great in the warm up friendlies...but Brian O'Driscol is back and they are a team which is smart ,fast and a team! with will power. The All Blacks have body weight and great individuals but need to find a play together.
I think Ireland can make it to final....with luck and faith.
I have been reading that they have been working on that. Still over the last year or two they've won almost everything so I think the team spirit is there. Good luck with Ireland and may the best team win!!
Snakeman, you must be the only American I know who has heard of the All Blacks. Did you watch the game on Saturday? Glad to know I have someone on my side.

It's good...and even better to watch a real mans game!
USA were exccellent, ad have been all the supposed 'minnows'. I mean jeez, I didn't know Portugal had a rugby side but they were excellent!
Argentina beating those Galic lovermen...AMAZING! Just the best start to the World Cup imaginable...sets up some great pool matches now...and means France will probably have to play The All Blacks in the first round of knockouts.
South Africa are bullies, but with there backs and the great Sir Percy, they'll be hard to beat. Australia? Could be a force, but I agree it's looking like New Zealand v The Boks in the final.
The Europeans all look out of touch this time...even Ireland. But on their day I suppose they could provide a shock...or two!
well i think it will either be new zealand v south africa, or it will be new zealand v australia. i would love to think that wales will get to the final but i think im living in dreamland im afraid.
Ireland were awful in the first game, but u are right they can surprise. They played well in the" six nations" I still have faith and hope they make it.( well I don't think they can beat the all blacks..although Munster team did once..way back ina friendly and nobody bet the all blacks before...the were supposed to be invincible...but there you go... we see on Sat. how they do. faith faith faith
