Two weeks to go before the opening match between New Zealand and Tonga.

Should be an interesting tounament.

Who do you fancy for the cup?

Looking at the pattern I'd say its our turn again.

Rugby? Is that not just warfare without the weapons?

TarJak · 08-27-11, 07:43 AM

Slightly more refined and with fewer deaths but not far from the truth

nikimcbee · 08-27-11, 11:52 AM

Tongans vs Kiwis

Now that sounds just mean. So will the Aussies just forfeit their match then out of fear?

How about Tonga vs Samoa?

Aussies are favourites...no suprise there.

You should soon be able to throw another saucer away because you'll shortly have two cups

Alex · 08-28-11, 06:19 AM

Personally I'm looking for getting familiar with the rugby teams still unknown to me.
I'm wondering what the Japanese, Namibian, Russian, and North American teams are worth on the field.

How are the Frogs looking Alex? They always seem to come good around RWC time.

We've got a new pack, not featuring the ones some would have appreciated to see selected, but only the best - according to the selector, the ones who've proved they're worth being part of the French league following their behaviour in national teams the past year.
Of course most in here are disappointed Chabal is out this time, and argue that the selector is going for a partly new pack we don't know what to expect from... I'm glad it's going that way myself, that may work in our favour.

TarJak · 08-29-11, 06:49 AM

Bon chance mon ami.

I hope you give the All Blacks a good kicking in the pool so they are bruised before we meet them in the finals.

Alex · 08-29-11, 07:23 AM

I can't say I'm - currently - expecting much from our pack as I just need further proof of their effectiveness, regarding what we can accomplish in this world cup and against the All Blacks that you've just got to beat...
But I thank you very much for your kindness, Grant.

TarJak · 08-30-11, 05:20 AM

NP mate.

I want to know if McBee is willing to back the yanks against the Wallabies?
