Agree totally..

Other than the fact I'll be fervently supporting the boys in red (and failing that anyone not in a white shirt) biggrin

Kiwi's arnt paying much to win. I put some dosh on france at 9:1 now I see they are around 6:1
Hopefully thats the curse of death for them and NZ will take the cup smile

You sorry boys who think England is going to take the cup should put your money where you mouth is. You will get 25:1 odds too, hehe.

already done so a good bet at 25, they can beat anyone on the day as most of the top 5 can. The blacks will bottle it as usual

Top 5? I take it you are not talking about England as they dont make the top 5..
In fact I dont recall many won games for quite a while...

Anyway should be good. I think you just lost all your cash but at least it keeps someone employed smile

Not fair. You try and pick an all NZ team and they dont give you enough cash. You have to throw in some sub standard foreigners.

You can buy the entire Welsh squad for 50 points wink

Did manage to shoehorn Dan Carter into my team so I'm a happy man

The Blacks have never won?!!

They won the bloody first one in '87!rolleyes England have also never beaten them in a RWC, in fact only the Aussies, France and South Africa can claim that.

England won't make the semi finals. France, Ireland and Scotland (Yes Scotland) are the only northern hemisphere hopes. Don't think the Scots will win but it will be their best show in a RWC.

Have tickets for the AB's vs Scotland on the 23rd, can't wait.

Hopefully the Kiwis will hold form and not go in overconfident as the have in the last 3 RWCs.

I hope it's a good game, I don't hold out much hope for England's chances if Jonny Wilkinson's ankle doesn't heal. I just want to see great rugby!

I'm 2 hours ahead of France here, so most of the games are starting quite late... but we have BFBS television and so have all the games live

The projector in the bar has been dusted off and I can't wait!

I hope you placed your bet when they were 25:1
Looking good for an NZ England Semi next week smile
Just need to rid ourselves of these petulant continentals tonight..

Then show England what a try is as I don't think they know much about what a try is. Lots of soccer action with kicking balls, not much of the running over the line rugby skills in evidence.
