Lookin' forward to a great RWC this year!
With any luck the Kiwis will choke and be knocked out in the Semis, the Poms & Safricans will similarly lose when it matters and the Aussies will beat Ireland in the final.

Was thinking of heading over, but cannot do it myself.
Will be watching many games, and participating in tipping comps mightily!

On the eve of RWC NZ 2011..

Sort your tips, plan which games to watch & where, stock the fridge..

Honestly, anyone who puts any $ on any team bar the top 8 or 9 to win it must be insane.

Go Wallabies!

The Atmosphere right across New Zealand would be amazing now, so many Rugby fans from different countries, so much excitement in the build-up to the REAL World Cup game on the planet.

The opener All-Blacks v Tonga will be great, especially the start where Tonga have won the toss to perform thier Kailao before the All-Blacks do thier Haka, though the All-Blacks do not have to wait until the Tongans are finished before they start thiers... Awesome.

What a fantastic World Cup, especially the finals so far.

Great to see the Welsh through to thier 2nd World Cup Semi ever and the Pommies & South Africans goooooone!

The Wallabies sure were lucky in that match vs the Sth Africans - the Ref let a lot go on both sides, he did well I thought. Fantastic Wallabies defense to earn them the Semi, and after making so many mistakes otherwise they are sure to lift and perform better across the park next weekend vs the All Blacks.

The All Blacks still are deserved favourites and unfortunately I think they too will lift, give the Wallabies hell in the semi and take the overall title in this massive World Cup in thier homeland.
The Wallabies can do it though, and I'll be cheering them mightily hoping they cut the Kiwis apart and knock them out - how sweet would it be!

With any luck the Welsh continue with thier great form and knock the French out in the other semi as, who doesn't want to see the French get knocked out?

Good stuff, and Go Wallabies!

Stinky Stinky

Ja we got our bacon and fat buts kicked

Damn the Ozzies / Wallabies were pretty good.

Argh I shouldn't be such a sore loser anyway

Good luck to both Australia and the All Blacks, I hope they both do their best!

And good luck to Wales and France I hope they do their best too!
