The Offical Rugby World Cup Thread
Yes, I made one on an American site. But show some patriotism, The USA is in it (although, you are in the Springboks group, along with England, so good luck with that ). It begins on the 7th of September, with France taking on Argentina. It is being held predominantly in France, with a few matches in Cardiff and a couple in Edinburgh. I'll post the groups here.
Group A England South Africa Samoa USA Tonga Group B Australia Wales Fiji Japan Canada Group C New Zealand Scotland Italy Romania Portugal Group D France Ireland Argentina Georgia Nambia So, anyway that's how the first round looks. In each groups each team plays eachother twice, with the top two teams from each group advancing. The points are divided as follows: 4 points for a win 2 points for a tie 1 point for scoring two or more points 1 point for losing by less than 7 points. Teams than advance onto the quarter finals, than onto the semis, with the grande finale taking place on the 20th of October, in Saint Denis, with the winner lifting the highly coveted Webb Ellis trophy! The hot favourites are obviously New Zealand( or the All Blacks). Anyway, we can use this thread to discuss the sport I love and the next major world sporting event. If this thread dies, which it will , I'll bump it up in September. Oh and here's some helpful links: Rugby at Wikipedia The International Rugby Board's Official site The Official Rugby World Cup Website Irish Rugby USA Rugby

re:
Yeah go NZ (New Zealand).
Yes I'm from New Zealand and the countries gearing up for it but sadly although we're favourites most of the time when world cup comes around we have only won it once Anyway - GO NZ. For those who don't know too much about Rugby here's a video of "big hits" mainly of Australia and New Zealand teams in either Rugby union or Rugby league. Enjoy.... <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OoT1dfcTUaY"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OoT1dfcTUaY" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> GO NZ |

I only support two teams, Scotland and anyone who plays against England
Good luck to the 19 teams I'm rooting for.

The All Blacks are obviously everybody's favorites, but who knows, the French have been able to beat them three times, so why not a fourth one ?...
And as Rugby is a lot about traditions (and supporting any team who plays against England is one of them -when you're not English, of course-), and for our NZ friends : the Haka (the old one, the new one isn't as good) <div><object width="425" height="364"><param name="movie" value="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/14lOVwUZqoinz9AA"></param><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/14lOVwUZqoinz9AA" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="364" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><br /><b><a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xsg0_rugby-haka-all-blacks">Rugby Haka All Blacks </a></b><br /><i>envoyé par <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/guettastylle">guettastylle</a></i></div> |

I would'nt say England and South Africa are the easiest teams to play. And don't underestimate the samoans, most of them play in NZ teams...

It's getting serious.
That's a Scotland rugby top, and it's an England flag stuck up his arse. Wars have been started for less! <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Edgi3ovHJTA"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Edgi3ovHJTA" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>
