I'm very fired up here, as is pretty much the whole country I think.

NZ go in as favourites, deservedly so with their record over the last few years and the depth of the team. Obviously lots can go wrong though, and they have a tonne of expectation on them.

Be very interested to see who emerges from the France/Ireland/Argentina pool, not least as 2nd place gets the dubious prize of meeting NZ in the quarter final.

Also really not in favour of the suggestion that Scotland aren't even going to put up their first team against NZ in the pool. One of the traditional rugby nations giving up on a big game like that seems pretty poor to me.

Picking NZ to be too strong up front for the Aussies in one semi, and the French to have too much flair for the South Africans in the other. Then NZ too strong for France in the final, really can't wait for it to get underway though.

Oh and I'm up for some small scale prop betting if anyone is interested, I'll lay 2:1 on a last longer for New Zealand vs any single country.

ok, how about a prop bet. SA vs France last longer bet, even money. I take SA. I will do anything up to $5k. Name your price before tourney starts.

That sounds like a fair bet, but to be honest I'm only really interesting in betting on New Zealand, where the emotional investment is already pretty high.

watching the opening ceremonies for this. Utterly confused, I have no idea what that was all about. It seemed poorly orgainzed as well. The worst opening ceremony type thing I've ever seen for a major sporting even.

Regardless, I'm really pumped to be in a place where I won't have to pay per view to watch the matches this time around and also that I won't have to wake up at 4 in the morning to watch them. I'd like to see Argentina go far but France is one of my favorite teams as well. Always loved watching Serge Betsen play. One guy I'd never ever [censored] with.

lol at the opening ceremony.

3-3 after 7 mins. Argies have made a strong start

[Chairman Wood]

Other then the missed drop some solid kicking from the pumas.

[Chairman Wood]

Nice positional kicking from the Pumas. They are playing there balls off and France is making some mistakes. If they can stay away from some of the stupid penalties like the one to end the half there and win some of their OWN line-outs they could stay win this.

[Chairman Wood]

some bad ass defense!

[sharkstevie]

gooooo france, have a big accumulator going and need them to win
