Default Re: *** Official 2007 Rugby World Cup

glad to see the smaller nations putting up a fight in these games. Seeing a minnow getting 90 put on them by a big nation is not good for rugby

[/ QUOTE ] Completely agree. In conversations with people about the tournament I always stated that one of the flaws was that it was full of meaningless games where a key player on a top team can get hurt. Essentially the same 8 teams make it to the quarters (Argentina sometimes does) and with a few exceptions 4 of the same 5 teams are in the semifinals every championship. Still probably is the same but we are getting closer.

Good to see the US stay competitive against England and the Geogria-Argentina game was much closer then the way it ended. It was only 6-3 at half.
