The Rugby World Cup starts tomorrow/today so I deem it fit to make a thread about it. I'm not sure if there are any rugby fans here other than Nathan and myself. Is there? Hello?!

Ah yes, you! And Seejay as well IIRC. So... predictions for the tournament? Ireland have been playing shite for ages, and I can only recall two games in the past year where they played to their full potential, but I still have blind optimism. I believe we can get to the semi's this year. ;D
As far as winning goes, all my money is on those "All Black" chaps everyone seems to be talking about these days. If not them, then Australia.
As much as it pains me to say this, I reckon the All Blacks will be in the finals at least. England may make it to the quarter finals, possibly semi finals, but yeah NZ may take it this year. Lets hope otherwise. C'mon England!!! ~Danny

It's bullshit. I had an exam at school, and now I can't get in to Auckland for the stuff happening tonight because it's completely full.
Anyway, the two matches that are going to be the biggest deciders are New Zealand vs France, and England vs Argentina (tomorrow night, IIRC). If New Zealand wins and England loses, they'll probably play each other in the quarter finals. From there, whoever wins will probably play South Africa in the semis.
Personally, I'm hoping for an NZ/Australia final. That will be a very good match.
