Pretty surprising first games so far... All of the contenders survived scares to defeat their opponents.

Special props to Romanian bigs and Japanese backs who were really absolutely brilliant

We're good at making teams look like dogshit, I think England will be ok though. And Argentina will make things difficult for anyone that stands in front of them but I don't think they can get past the group stage this time.

I think Argentina could get past Scotland, but I don't think they're as good as they were last time around. If they'd been able to kick a penalty, Argentina would've won.(Though England kicked like shit aswell, so it evens out.)

Wales got Barnesed(To be in a World Cup game when Wayne Barnes is the Referee, and have one obvious call go against them)
Sam Warburton was Outstanding.

lol france beating england...fkn fail

Based on the 1st round games (and on the last 2 years), France had no chance against England... which is why I knew we would win that one ! Typically french

The winner of New Zealand/Australia should comfortably beat France in the final, but stranger things have happened.

"And I found out that a few of them had gone out. So we spoke about it this morning and I told them what I thought of them.
"I told them they are a bunch of spoiled brats. Undisciplined, disobedient, sometimes selfish. Always complaining, always whingeing," he added, not holding back.

lol frenchfries always the same excuses

How on earth is that an excuse? Excuse for what by the way?

Botom line is: with only 40 minutes of good rugby (the first half against England), the French have managed to make it to the RWC final. They are the worst finalists ever and have absolutely no chance to win against the ABs... which is why I think they will win it with a ''only the French can do it'' game

Amazing world cup...

Overall, those ABs deserved their crown, but the French were immense during the Final. W/o some questionable (non)decisions from the ref, our boys could have been world champs !

Can't wait for the wales/france clash in the up-coming 6 Nations

I love this game

frustrating finals but I enjoyed this WC

Yeah it was really enjoyable, annoying that England were so unprofessional throughout. If we played as well as they've shown they can in the last 6 nations we could've got to the final. Ah well, congrats to NZ.

And the WC sucked IMO, from watching at some of the scores you get the feeling that baseball games were played instead of Rugby ones. I had great hopes of watching Australia play at their full potential but they disapointed.

Arguably one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

A low scoring game does not mean a boring one. We had some really great games to watch.

That being said, I was disapointed with the best fly halfs performances (Carter, Cooper, Morné Steyn, Trin Duc...). Rhys Priestland from Wales was the only consistantly good fly half during this world cup

With the new rules I expected to see teams taking more risks by trying to play with the hands and that didn't happen much, maybe my expectations were too high.

besides the WC what other international competitions can I get? I know about the tri nations but I don't know shit about schedules or any other tournaments. I love the sport but it's so hard to be completely in tune with it.

I was able to torrent a lot of the WC games and it was so refreshing. Awesome seeing McCaw at the end, and the commentators were so much better than they are for sports here

At club level, you have the H Cup (european cup). It should be quite something this year.

No homerism here but IMO the Top 14 (French championship) is also a must see. It has turned into the most competitive national competition worldwide.
