Too bad the US and Canada are not in the same Pool.

USA are actaully in a pretty evenly matched pool aside from South Africa of course. They have a good chance of winning a few games :)

Yeah, in 2011 it was realky cool to beat Russia. We take what we can get here in US. Lol

This reminds me I need to try to catch some Chiefs games in Super Rugby !

Oh, and I will be surprised if New Zealand does not win. Every time I read about international rugby it seems the All Blacks are dominating.

USA is certainly a good chance of making it to the quarterfinals this time. They are up against one of the weaker 6 Nations teams, and Samoa is certainly beatable. Though judging by their performance against the All Blacks yesterday they might be tough to beat, and could potentially top the pool.

Canada has a much tougher road, I don't see them getting past France or Ireland. But you never know with France sometimes they can just have a brain explosion and lose to just about anyone.

I'm a Hurricanes supporter, so I'm still trying to get over the loss to the Highlanders. SOmeone in the press said that if the Hurricanes play like shit then the Highlanders could win, but if the Hurricanes play at their best the Highlanders have no chance. Well the Hurricanes played like shit and the Highlanders won.

I haven't really been following the 6 Nations so I'm not sure about the Northern form. But you can never count England out, especially on home turf.

I really hope NZ can be the first to win back to back RWCs, but the ABs have never won a RWC outside of NZ, so...

Nice work think-man.

As long as someone else beats the All Blacks and South Africa for them it is not impossible for Argentina to win it. Aside from those two teams, Argentina has beaten every other top rugby nation at least once. Of the other two counties that have won the world cup Argentina has beaten Aussie 5 times and England 4 times. So it's not really lol to vote for them.

Voting for the USA on the other hand, they have zeroes in the win column for every major Rugby nation (including Italy and Argentina) except for one country. See my previous post about France having brain explosions for a clue about which major rugby country they have beaten...twice!

Haven't seen a game since the Super Rugby final actually. Oh well, there will be plenty to watch soon

I went and saw the All Blacks vs Wallabies in Sydney. Was sad about the result then happy when the all blacks beat them the following week



Would like to England win it, a fresh young team showing a lot of potential but I just think New Zealand are far too good, they're such a joy to watch!
