| the point is you are saying the stronger side will win in each case but...remember that it doesn't always go that way, Scotland won Australia in the warm up games .... what does that tell you ? |
| i didnt see that game but id say ozzy didnt have all there good players on |
| yeah but if you think about it france v australia france are better than scotland so it could happen.. not that they would play its just an example |
| yea lol even samoa could win it lol i liked the match when they destroyed ozzy haha :) |
| idk tat mch abt rugby but i always support ma country in tis sports so VIVE LA FRANCE !! <3 :) :D |
| your french :D look out for trinh-duc and harinordoquy and the captain dusautior |
| Anyone going to any of the games? :) |
| nah can't afford it but watching all the games on the box :D |
| xD i dont know any of them :P |
| well they are your fly-half (kicker) no. 8 and second row |
| Nice opening ceremony. Now first game kicks off! Go All Blacks :-P |
new zealand vs tonga
new zealand 41 tonga 10
GO THE ALL BLACKS!!! |
| oh ... well they better b good :P |
| well how would you analyse the win ? i would think that new zealand will fell they were weak...for 20 mins tonga hold them off ! thats 1 quarter of the game...but a win is a win and for now new zealand are at the top of the table |
well how would you analyse the win ?
I disagree. We started off well, then lost it in the second half.
The match itself wasn't the best for the All Blacks. They will need to work on their game.
Most interesting pool is Pool D. Fiji, Samoa, Wales... All will have the ability to cause an upset for the South Africans.
The match I look forward to the most is Scotland Vs. Romania today at 1pm. Only it would have been better if Romania hadn't lost their key player.
I might go and see one of the matches, Aus Vs USA because the tickets are only $100 compared to the other highly expensive ticket prices :s
Looking forward to the rest of the games! |
i would think that new zealand will fell they were weak...
Oh you would huh? Don't tell me you're an underarm bowling Australian...
Did you know that in sports betting Tonga was paying $50 to win and NZ was not accepting bets? :)
All jokes aside NZ has bigger fish to fry than Tonga and need to keep injury free and focused on their goal.
Scotland 34 – 24 Romania. Romania lacked their star player. Tough luck guys.
Fiji 49 – 25 Namibia. No prizes for guessing the Fijians would take them down.
France 47 – 21 Japan. Former world champs couldn't hold off completely the up and comers from the land of the rising sun.
Argentina 9 – 13 England. Close, low scoring match, expect the big team clashes to duke it out in this fashion. |
