OK here we go! The count down has begun and little over and hour the Wallabies will be kicking off against the Puma’s.
The next 6 weeks or so will culminate in England lifting the Webb Ellis Cup! But who will England be beating in the final, that’s the question? Any guesses?
Cheers
Adam
[8D]yes, yes. we always have these great english sporting team come over, sadly its always the same story they return with their tails between their legs.
anyway what about Matthew Hayden 380 runs not a bad knock.
i don’t even follow rugby but if its a chance to fix up the poms i’m interested.

As a famous cartoon character once said – ” you are a sad sorry little man aren’t you”
England and the All Blacks are the favourites – just the way we Aussies like it………….[
][]Tim Henman was supposed to win Wimbeldon this year, The English were supposed to be competitive on the ashes tour, The English were supposed to do well in the soccer world cup so I suppose we’ll see how this one plays out…..[
]Truly just joking – I’m looking forward to some sensational rugby. We’ve got tickets to AUST v IRELAND – can’t wait
May the best team win

http://www.Landlords.co.nzHi Guys
At last I’ve found another forumite who agrees with me that the All Blacks will win.(even if he is another Kiwi)
The All Blacks by 45 pts against Italy. Actually it was by 63pts.
The Poms eventually later in the tournament won’t know which way the ball will go because they are all too old and thus on the hard and fast Aussie grounds will get TOO tired too quickly.
A bit like the Roosters.Regards
PS The Pumas by 2pts against the Aussies.
I’m suprised no one posted the score
Wallaby’s 24 Argentine 8
Waltzing Matilda, you go a Waltzing Matilda with me
Bring on Romania !!!
Good luck to your team
Cheers

Well, if that is what England can give then the rest of you should be very happy. But what a game!
Anyone for France v New Zealand final??
Adam
[8D]Hi Gatby
Rugby World Cup, what Rugby World Cup?
I thought it was Cricket World Cup. 142 without loss, that’s a pretty good opening stand.
And some of the other scores 91 for 7 and 90 for 6. Well I ask you.
Now 16 to 15 that’s more like it.
Regards
Sorry, but the RWC has been a bit of a dud to date.
Where are the upsets (no, Samoa losing by 13 points to England is not an upset)?
Can anyone name one match where the favourite has not won?
I’d even be happy with more close matches.
Average winning margin 39.4
Average winning score 51.3Games won by les than 10 points – 4 in 30
Australia 256 points for, 16 against.
Now don’t get me wrong, I love seeing Australia win as much as anyone, but really, wake me when the semi-finals start.

Our family’s tipping entry for RWC is so far so good with 100% correct.[
][][]OK, that’s the pool games out of the way, now the fun begins.
Aussies don’t look that impressive, and New Zealand were pushed hard by Wales. South Africa have put out their stall as have France. But you still have to fancy England to go all the way this time!
Adam
[8D]For my money, it’s still out of the top three pre tournament favourites, New Zealand, England, and Australia, and as much as I hate to say it, in that order. These three will win on the weekend. (NZ v SA, Eng v Wales, and Aus v Scots)
France and Ireland is the other game. For my money, Ireland to make the QF. I’ve watched their past two matches, and they look pretty good to me. The result against Australia was no fluke, and they deserved to beat Argentina.
That leaves Oz v NZ and Pommies v Paddies in the semis.
Still hard to see it not being a Kiwi v Pommie GF. The Kiwi’s definately seem to have the better form, even after the “close” result against Wales, so Kiwi’s to …. cough cough splutter, no I can’t say it.
Go the Aussies.
Dino

Hi Guys
Go the All Blacks. 29-9 over the Springboks. They didn’t know which way the Blacks went.
The Aussies are struggling against the Scots. Heck the All Blacks will have it easy in the semis next week.

the Aussies came back in time !!

Carlos Spencer (the NZ all black star) once asked my friend out on a date. she turned him down as she was going out with someone else at the time -but that didn’t last, so needless to say she has been kicking herself ever since….!!!
