One durable person. One social graph. Many communities—and every way people speak, share, listen, write, gather and remember.
Cant believe this is not up yet!
My prediction:
South Africa / Australia to win it
New Zealanders to choke semi finals
Northern hemisphere:France or England (all black rugby shirt???) to semis and no further
Lets see if the springboks can make it 3 wins

Anyone else got a prediction???
Re: Rugby World Cup 2011
Australia to win
The England strip is an outrage. Complete lack of imagination and respect. But thats England for you.
Re: Rugby World Cup 2011
I reckon SA have a good chance, them or Australia... or of course Ireland :)
I reckon we will do better than you think, the Leinster boys coming off the back of 2 recent HCUP wins and overall moral seems to be positive in the camp. The last few losses will dent the old conference, although it's always the case with matches before flying out, no one wants to get injured (Wallace). Look forward to the 7am sunday drinking sessions! Worst/best time ever for the matches...
English Strip is brutal..
Re: Rugby World Cup 2011
Fuck yeh!
Game 1 Friday - Cannot wait.
Look It's going to be another Southern Hemisphere domination. I'm actually predicting New Zealand vs. SAFA's or Wallabies for finals. New Zealand cannot loose at home, it's their lands. They are so passionate about their bloody rugby they even have a 24/7 channel just committed to it.

Re: Rugby World Cup 2011
First round over England and South Africas games were tight - roll on round two
Re: Rugby World Cup 2011
Yeah definitely. Fuji game was pretty wicked. The French dont look all that bad as well.
Lucky escape for the SAFA's Nick...
Re: Rugby World Cup 2011
You know then, Nicest thing about watching that game was the excuse to crack a beer at 10 in the morning. hopefully we will pick up our socks against Fiji on Saturday.
Welsh didnt play badly at all. (hats off)

Any takers on USA - Russia game this morning - I have USA by 4

Re: Rugby World Cup 2011

I've seriously got my money on the springboks! It's going to be a great weekend!!
Re: Rugby World Cup 2011
What a let down - totally gutted
Re: Rugby World Cup 2011
:lol:
Very unlucky mate. Wallabies did not deserve to win that game at all! Defended well that;s about it... Bring on New Zealand and defeat...
Re: Rugby World Cup 2011
Re: Rugby World Cup 2011
I felt for Wales today. Rotten. Always hurts to get beaten by the musket droppers but, shit, that was tough on them i thought.
Re: Rugby World Cup 2011
Yeah definitely felt for Wales. With a man down still produced some great rugby. They should have been in the finals. It's going to be a boring grand final.

This pic says it all for me
But it sounds like it's a case of refs being told to clamp down on tackles that "look bad". Happens in football too when there's a world cup. A directive to the refs is a change of rules to the players.
