| Whats ure opinions? Anyone watching this? I think England have got a really good chance of winning this time round. Although Australia may be a tough game.. Thank God we wont have to play them until the final after our win today! |

| I dunno, it wasn't a disaster. We pulled through in the end, thanks to wilkinson and his kick to balshaw!! What a try that was!! And dont forget we already beaten all the best teams in the world over the last 2 years! Were in with a shout! |

this tournament is a joke.
the biggest event in the rugby callander and i didn't even know where it was being held until scotland vs fiji.
the coverage is a disgrace, the quality of rugby is a disgrace and i reckon i could do better than everybody who is playing in the tournament. rugby is not what it used to be, this is why i no longer play, nor follow it. |

aussie stadium, stadium australia...oh dear wherever could the world cup be?:rolleyes:
you live in scotland, so im guessing youd only get scotish games or it would be on pay tv so hence poor coverage. following from that, if you only get scottish games then the quality of rugby would obviously suffer cause they are a very poor team. i mean they have the very large mobile forwards who hit like girls and lack any heart
to say you could do better than everybody who is playing in the tournament is stupid in itself so ill leave it there
of course rugby isnt what it used to be, players are fitter and stronger, the rules have changed quite a bit over the past decade and you've got to take into account that large scores are inevitable when a fully professional rugby nation takes on a semi-pro or amatuer nation (i.e. australia vs romania). i mean some of the georgians are farmers by day
the same can be said about soccer, i mean how the did iran or israel (the team germany beat 9-0) make it into the world cup when teams like australia miss out (pardon me if im wrong)
the soccer world cup is getting alot closer now cause players are becoming professionals and experiencing football overseas in developed soccer nations
to call the rugby world cup a joke is your opinion granted, but the knockout stages are about to begin so expect some good rugby |

To the scottish chap: you didn't recognise the Sydney 2000 Olympic stadium in any games :p?
Anyhow, just because the coverage in your country may be bad, doesn't nesecarily mean it's shocking in other countries, although down here in vic we get them on late at night (I heard nsw etc are getting them live as well :() |

yeah we are gettin the weekend games live but we missed out on half of the pool matches
i need fox man cause they were playin every match live (unless 7 were broadcasting it) and then after every round they would replay them all in a row. also you get rugby from around the world all year round which is pretty wicked too |

The world cup has been great, esp the last week of the pool games with England run close by Samoa, Ireland-Argentina and Ire-Australia being realy close, and the Wales display against NZ.
The coverage in England has been amazing with every game shown live, either on ITV (terestrial channel that every1 can watch) for most of the home countries and big games, and ITV2 (subscription channel) for the rest.
Still think England will win it but if we dont i think it will be France, though the outside bet is with Ireland! |

I don't care if we're out of form, we've won two out of the last three. History is on our side :D |

listen in all honesty rugby is a game for batty boys.
a bunch of over grown men rolling around in the mud touching each others balls:nervous:
theres far too many rules to the game and far to few fights in it anymore. its lost all its intrest to me and not cos i'm scottish and we have a e team. but because the game has become more predictable than rain in glasgow.
england get a penalty, jonny wilkinson kicks it.
