[Rockape]

Really not interested in egg chasing, but will probably watch the semis and final.

Not a bad shout, the world is predicting your demise though. Obviously you guys are still a threat. I really do think England have a good squad though.

Only problem I see with the Northern Hemisphere teams is playing all games at 30+ degrees if they handle the temperature then its gameboy England and Ireland may do well,however Ireland have a history of throwing wins away against the AB's, also not sold on Kieran Reid' playing much less captaining,also Biden barrett best stand off playing full back, especially having pushed smith to the bench he is one of if not the best full back playing, I guess Hansen has a strategy

[Ach]

Japan beat Russia.

Don't think they'll get through the group stages but always good to have hosts start with a win

Remember watching the game v SA 4 years ago. Only watched it cos nothing else was on and was engrossed by the end.

Seen every World Cup since 1991. Only watch the world cups if I can. Don't care about the 5/6 nations or lions.

True!

England were pretty sloppy. They won't be able to get away with playing like that against the better teams.

[VCC]

I liked the looks of the ireland pack they will take some beating.

[Royal Gooner]

England will beat the USA. Not by playing better rugby, but by the England fans triggering all the yankee Snowflakes by singing "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot"!

[StLGooner]

Ha!

No, it will definitely be because the rugby is better. Ha!

that was a good old fashioned spanking... why is USA even there? may as well send out a Haitian rugby team

USA is still the only country to win an Olympic gold medal in 15 a side rugby. Little known rugby fact
