About time we had a rugby World Cup thread?

The tournament’s just about to kick off (the All Blacks are doing the bloody Haka yet again).

Wales aren’t going to win (not sure they’ll even get out of their group), so I’ll go for France - would be pleased if they won as well.

Has the Hakka changed?
Seems different to what I remember.

They change the haka every now and then. It seems to lack the intensity it used to.

16-13 to France, yellow card for New Zealand with about 20 minutes to go

With a crowd in Pefkos watching it, two tellies though with the tennis on next to the rugby telly. Thank God for tennis

High quality game, France outstanding with a well deserved win.

On BBC news tonight they described France as a rugby mad country

That's absolute nonsense

It's way behind football and several other sports in popularity

France well worth the win .
Lopsided draw at the knockout stages which, potentially puts all the big guns together if I have read it right.
If I were a betting man then my fiver would be on South Africa.

Not impressed with either team. Both looked rusty and the game was a disappointment for me. Home advantage proved crucial, and the officials need to get their act together. From what I’ve seen tonight, on current form, SouthAfrica would probably have done the pair of them. It’s a win for France, and that’s all that matters to them tonight. Take away the home advantage, and it would have been a different outcome. The other big hitters will not be too worried on tonight’s performance.

England are in utter disarray and I am more likely to be nominated as the lead dancer for the ballet than that happening.

They'll get done by my lot the Argies later on today. Scotland and Ireland will both do better than them I think. Not so much Gales.
