AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!

We kicked Argentina's arse. But it really struck me that we needed to work on the ball handling skills. And don't mention the atrocity that was the completely "girly-man" opening ceremony.

But any how. We shall kick all your arses.

Oh, come on. I suspect the following for Rugby in the USA must be about the same as that of LaCrosse, though it gets less publicity.

I want the final to be between New Zealand and England, just because I like to see Australian sprot nuts annoyed, we're too complacent in sport.

Not to insult rugby. I love rugby; I'm joining the local rugby league when the season starts. But it's not very big in America, and around here, certainly not as big as lacrosse.

So did we look better since the Tri-Nations? It's hard to get a feeling when bloody German TV doesn't broadcast it waaaaa

!!! The Sydney Morning Herald and the Daily Telegraph had absolutely conflicting reviews, who to believe???

Nah, that's just our football players.

Now, offer an opportunity to get drunk and get in a bar fight with another team (preferably French) and you'd indeed have a cunning plan.

And based on what's happened so far Australia looked surprisingly poor. Not sure about SA and NZ yet.

England will probably win it, we have the strongest team at the moment...

a few months ago i woulda said the all blacks, then england just seemed to take off.

one problem, 17 year old girls aren't illegal here, so that comment isn't really correct

however, it is wrong what those guys did, and i hope they get punished to the full extent of the law.

Be quite about this but i'm following the results of Ireland. My family would shoot me if they knew i was supporting an All-Ireland team, but there it is. I actually used to pay rugby before i hurt my knee and so i might even try and catch a few games. I'm praying England do badly. I'm sorry but i am. England in any game are poor losers but they're even fucking worse winners, no offence to any English posters here.

Wait a second... how does that disprove his statement?

No! The US will go ALL THE WAY! They are going to crush all in RUGBY!

Americans traditionally can't play Rugby. They play a form of rugby made for pussys called American Football where they do everything you do in Rugby but you get to wear body armour.
