Nope you are not alone. Family is from South Africa so I'm pretty happy with the outcome of the SA vs USA game.

I play varsity rugby at my Uni and been following it real close. Bunch of the boys created a random pool for the tourney and I got Australia and New Zealand so I'm feeling real good about my chances.

Also how about England not making it past the group stages at their own world cup Jesus the tourney came 2 years to early for them.

I wouldn't say they suck shit, they made one mistake against Wales when they unnecessary went for the try instead of taking the easy points. It cost them the qualification.

They also share the most 6 nations titles record with Wales. And in seven world cups, they won one and lost two times in final.

Come on dude, you can't say they "suck shit".

Exactly, my comment was directed towards the fact that U.S seems to play 7's a lot better than they do union

France has been struggling over the past four years, their coach has done a shitty job, and now that's he's out, hopefully the new coach will be able to bring them back to the level they should be playing at considering their roster.

Bet you're feeling pretty smug right now!
I'm from Scotland so gutted to see them go out last week but glad to see the Aussies progress today, should be a tough final. I usually favour NZ as I have family there but this time I'm neutral, 2 great teams, just hope it's a close slugfest right to the death!

what dyall think of Argentina/Australia just then? imo the best game so far, Argentina really pushed until the end, and could well have won before that crazy ass essay at the 70'...how did they all miss him? I'm happy australia won doe, I think they have a better chance against the blacks, I have my money on them for the final. Much love to the Argentinians doe, superb team.

In my opinion the best games so far have been Japan-South Africa, Georgia-Namibia & Australia-Scotland.
Georgia-Namibia wasn't technically great rugby, but very exciting as it was like a 15 vs 15 man UFC cage match, most blood subs I've seen in one game!
