the sound Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 Hey everyone! The rugby world cup has started in France with Argentina upsetting the hosts 17 - 12. For those of you who don't know what the rugby World Cup is, its basically like the Fifa World Cup of Rugby. If you don't know what rugby is, click here. This is the thread to discuss the world cup, if anyone else is actulaly interested. The USA are in the world cup as well, btw. S yeah, discuss here!
bovinejumpsuit Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 I was very shocked at the result last night. The Argentina squad all looked overwhelmed during the anthem, a few looked like they were seconds from Tears. But credit to them, they seemed to capitalise on every France mistake and did very well on Defence. This group is wide open now and I can see France missing out. I don't predict any upsets today, although Japan will give the Aussies a good run for their money. Finally I would like to bring up the last RWC...
the sound Posted September 10, 2007 Author Posted September 10, 2007 ^ Stupid England. Anyway, some results for the past few games. For those of you Yanks interested, the USA did pretty well against England, only losing by 18 points i think. Anyway, results of the first round (Tonga,Fiji,Georgia and Romania had byes): Argentina 17 France 12 New Zealand 76 Italy 14 Australia 91 Japan 3 England 28 USA 10 Wales 42 Canada 17 South Africa 59 Samoa 7 Scotland 56 Portugal 10 Ireland 32 Namibia 17 Go Australia!
zaneymon Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 ummm I suppose I should something like GO NEW ZEALAND!!!!!!! But i don't really care.
downunder Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 Good to see Australia pound a team of midgets 91-3, may be a different story against Wales at Cardiff this week. Lote Tuquiri looks like a very frustrated footballer not playing well at all. Props to the Argies for beating the Frogs, that win was based on pure ticker, the Pumas were just throwing themselves at Les Bleus. The garlkic eaters will pretty blue if they go down to Ireland - no quarter finals for you! All credit to minnows USA and Namibia for really taking to more fancied rivals, they both should have gone down by a 100 points and actually had reasonably tight games against England and Ireland. The All Blacks, are they peaking too early, will they choke again, only time will tell.
