Rugby World Cup 2011

Was funny that, glad we didn't let them get to us too much, despite the penalties conceded we managed to stay disciplined in terms of squaring up to them throughout the match.

I tried to watch England but i just couldn't, i find the kick and chase so boring...

The All Blacks were unreal against Tonga, it'll be so difficult for anyone to beat them in their own backyard. Wouldn't bet on anyone doing it at the moment, the Wallabies probably have the best chance. Not sure what the Springboks have been like since '07.

italy is suppose to be good. we can surprise those fucking ozzies

ALL BLACKS!

actually we were average in that game (2nd half mainly) - Coach gave us 5/10...says alot

Wales doing well against South Africa at the moment. Five minutes to go and only a point in it.

Was close that. Good effort from Wales though.

Can't believe preistland missed that Kick, Faletou was fantastic though and Jamie Roberts.

Didn't know the US played rugby.

I only watched the highlights, if that's average I don't want England to be the team coming up against you at your best

just a couple of weeks ago we got beat by South Africa (in South Africa) - playing a slightly weaker team & a week later got beat by Australia who won the tri-nations.....have yet to reach our peak this season.

slightly worrying although the expectation remains (as always) that we should win the WC.

We are just like in england except with rugby. I want to say we will win this but i just have this gut feeling that we will choke somewhere.

WALES SHOULD HAVE WON THE PENALTY IN THE FIRST HALF WENT FUCKING OVER

BULL FUCKING SHIT FUCK YOU WAYNE BARNES YOU USELESS PRICK

(I'm pissed off because I would have got $50 if Wales won!!!)

hmm yes but the difference is we are actually the best at rugby and probably should win.

England have huge expectations and aren't even very good...

Nah i am a poor student but my bro has tickets to the semi finals. If all blacks beat france then it will be all black tickets.

Ireland are now my second team

Ireland were brilliant today Shame Tommy Bowe couldn't get a try for them at the end, great win anyway.

Ireland

Crowd was amazing!

TBH that was probably one of the best atmospheres we've ever had in NZ and it wasn't even NZ playing. European fans are awesome; we never sing or chant

Is there many Irish in NZ? Theres thousands of us in Aus

I honestly don't know TBH, I don't know any.

I assumed they all traveled down, but maybe few of them live here

I really don't know
