About time we had a rugby World Cup thread?

Ticket prices are pretty fair tbh I think, but yeah, waste of time. But a fun weekend in Lille etc no doubt.

You never know though. England v Chile is no different on paper to Wales v Portugal really but they were quite different games.

Portugal are a better team than Chile, no way do Chile draw with Georgia & Portugal have players playing in France

Massive problem international rugby has is how little they promote the "lesser" nations, I think yesterday was the first time Chile played a "tier 1" nation that wasn't Argentina. Compare that to football where the likes of Liechtenstein will definitely get at least 2 games against a top side in every qualifying cycle. The likes of Chile & Portugal rock up to the World Cup totally unprepared as they don't play against the top teams
