*** Official 2007 Rugby World Cup

[blah99]

SA v England kicking off in about half an hour.

SA are without Schalk Burger, suspended for this tackle in the Samoa game.

De Villiers is also out due to injury. This injury could be a blessing in diguise though as it makes room for Francois Steyn in the starting lineup. He's a really exciting young player.

England not without their own worries, missing their 2 first choice fly halfs.

Has the potential to be the game of the world cup so far if England show up.

there's no way to watch this online, is there...

Just saw the that tackle for the first time. Pretty dangerous - here we connected with his neck when he was still in midair.

I won't be surprised if England gets destroyed (not that I'm looking for that).

Also, with Ireland getting Shane Horgan back and no doubt looking to redeem themselves, I'm expecting no less than 50 to be put up on Georgia.

On the other hand, USA rugby in general, is perceived favorably, even though we are pretty much a joke as far as competitiveness goes. Every club I've played against overseas has been very gracious and complimentary of the efforts to build the sport in the USA. Most of the growth has been grass roots type movements as I'm sure you are aware

[/ QUOTE ] Agreed, I've had the same experience as well. When my club has done tours overseas, other clubs always praised our efforts. Its just that the work is being done by a few passionate people at the ground level within the clubs themselves. Not higher-ups.

Also, it feels like forever since we saw the France-Argentina match. So pumped right now to see two quality teams go at it. I think SA will crush England but I hope I eat my words and it ends up being a competitive match.

It's on Versus, but with a big delay. Eng-SA is Sunday at 3 PM for me.

You can also find torrents and sopcasts using the usual methods, you have to do your own searching for that.
