Rugby World Cup 2011

Haven't done a thread search as I can't be bothered...but seeing nothing on the first page makes me think that one hasn't been started....

 

Anywhoo......with only 2 weeks to go I thought it prudent to start a thread for banter and general baiting to occur ,  even more so when there is such great rivalry across the pond :smileyhappy:

 

In fact I started posting around the last World Cup and it reminds me of happy memories of having a friendly posting war with Havic (where is he now ??) and meeting Kiwi for the first time ....

 

As a POM married to a Kiwi living in NZ I have to say my allegiances are a little warped...

 

Will always support the English, but see them exiting in the the quarter finals this year...envisage a Wallaby v AB final....and I'd love the Aussies to take it :smileyhappy: ......I'm not Mr Henry's greatest fan and there is something about the worship of Rugby in this country that make me a tad nautious....

 

anywhoo ..thoughts, predictions......great game on tonight to start which may well be warmup to the final :smileyhappy:

 

I think it will be close tonight.......and could go either way.....

Re: Rugby World Cup 2011

As a part Aussie and part Kiwi on my fathers side. I am split too...

Here's my dilemma. The Wallabies are in the poorest form i've ever seen them in. With the exit of Matt Giteau and without such players as Loti, Sailor, Mortlock - I just don't think our team has enough drive.

Looking at the close game this weekend against the Mighty ALL BLACKS! Only narrowly winning 25-20. Australia only scraped through with a strong first half but a severly lacking second half. THIS will be our downfall. All these young players aren't hungry enough for it, I seriously hope that we can pull our fingers out.

NOW, coming to the all blacks. They have an amazingly strong team - and an almighty SONNY BILL WILLIAMS! (He needs to come back to the bulldogs in league >=[ haha) They are going to go into the world cup GUNNING for blood. I honestly see them going all the way.

I don't follow England too closely but I honestly wanna see them fall after the last Rugby world cup and jonno wilkinson GRRRRR lol.
