Anyone watching, Argentina defeated France just a while ago quite amazing. I didn't watch rugby often but it's world cup I'll patron.

The rugby powers are playing today. New Zealand, Australia and England. If you plan on watching don't miss today!

Yep. I saw the end of the France vs Arg match. Very surprised that Arg won on French soil.
Australia is playing Japan next. lol poor Japan, why do they suck at this when they produce so many sumos.

New Zealand is going to win now that France's invincble sphere on home soil is shattered.

Did they solve that media problem? I read today that AP, Ruetgers, and the French Media companies were boycotting because of restrictions placed on media. Hopefully they figured it out.

That was a huge upset by Arg. Never know with NZ, they are big chokers.

One thing is for sure Eng are not going to retain this trophy.

Well i hate Argentina ... France is overall a better team ( imo ) but they often beat us... We seemed so strong vs England during the preparation matches T-T and on the paper France was the favourite ( after New zealand ) for this World cup ...
Hopefully i had a bad feeling about this match and i didnt bet on France

Now we need to rape Ireland ( will be impossible if we dont play better ), Georgia and Namibia ...

Seriously we fucking MuST to win the World cup because expectations are huge among the population and our team ( on the paper ) is #2 or #3.

Hahahah if France manges to win that would be fun :D. Seriously betting on France before this match seemed a good idea ( we destroyed England ) and the team was in top shape. But now yea you can laught. However i think that Argentina is our Nemesis and we will play better against others teams.

New Zealand's strong point is by far the scrum and their ability to always get possession. Besides that everything else is reasonable, but they have a crap line-out.

Australia has the worlds best line-out.

So what you do is say your props are injured and call for uncontested scrums. Congratulations you have just taken out the Kiwis' strength.

Naturally, I am going for the Wallabies!

New Zealand also has the best attacking back-line imo.
Having said that, World Cups aren't won by having a strong attack, but rather a solid defense, and a self-assuredness which I think New Zealand has this year.
Graham Henry has been preparing them for some time now, and if it weren't for the recent rise of the South African team, I'd have said New Zealand were outright favourites to win.

You'll see!

I watched the game arg vs fra and i must say i am semi disappointed since Argentina team plays with a lot of contacts and a lot of fights. We were unable to play the right counter like using our speed and punching their first line to exhaust argentina team.

Watching it on french TV was really, REALLY a pain in the ass. Our commentatoris kept saying that it was going to be an easy match and even at the end, they were saying that we should be happy because it is the first game and we get the defensive point bonus. So now, i am gonna listen to it on the radio which is far more interesting.

New Zealand is for sure, a big contender for the world cup as usual but they often played it mediumly in the past, so i don't know.

As a france loyal fan, i hope we will show up with better strenghts in the next games. This french team has potential so I hope we will do better next time.

Good luck to all the teams.
