US was rather physical already (but bad handling) but the Tongan defense looks unbreakable, very much like the other very strong nations. | ||

This competition is basically Australia, New Zealand, South Africa. France and England could maybe win, but really unlikely. Then you have teams like Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Argetina who make up the numbers in quarter finals. The other teams are completely useless. | ||

So before all the Irish or Argie people get ancy and point me towards their high rankings, face facts - you're going to get knocked out in the Quarters (that's if you even make it out of that group of death  ) | ||

Rugby can't get anywhere close in terms of popularity at a club level that League does (in Australia at least, I'm guessing it's different in the Old Dart). It's funny that the Rugby teams in Australia are always trying to poach the best league players. | ||

As mentioned earlier, Europe always takes a beating during the world cup, England just had the one year where Wilkinson played incredibly well, and their defense could keep up. At the moment I'm just worried about Argentina (that is, excluding NZ and AUS), they performed well against France. And no, I never believed England could take the Cup. They toured SA just before the world cup and lost their two tests 58 - 10, and 55 - 22. After this victory SA has a fairly clear road to the final, facing Tonga, then the US. If SA manages to beat both teams they will face the runners up of group B, which should be Wales (Australia should take that group), and after that they will face either the runners up of Group C (Scotland, NZ will lead the group), or the winning team of group D (France, Argentina, Ireland). So SA effectively avoids AUS and NZ until the finals. | ||

But it's still cool, I mean Rugby in Argentina is pretty much amateur, except for players who play on other countries... Players get paid close to nothing for playing in the national team, but you still see them play like there is no tomorrow. I hope they can just get further than last time. | ||
