Prediction for tomorrow:

Japan 19 - Scotland 12

I wish, but I think that scotland is actually pretty ok this year, they improved a lot, forgot about that... I think that Japan will need another miracle! Go NIHON!!!!!

If France doesn't take the offensive bonus against romania today, they really suck. But anyway, the first place will be determined during the france-ireland game, not by bonuses, unless there is a tie. But not very confident we got what it takes to beat Ireland this year.

The real interesting groups are A with Wales, England and Australia, and B as a whole... I love that B group!

Samoa creamed USA.

f*ck you

Why don't you guys build a team with american samoans? It's quite clear that you guys are sissies if no protection pads are involved.

My favorite moment from that game was when the American scrum half kicked the ball up high, tried to chase it, ran into a Samoan who was standing still and went down for 3-4 minutes with a shoulder injury from the collision.

[mrswdk]

Japan score the first try, 7-6 Japan. f*ck William Wallace, huzzah for the samurais!

[betiko]

looks like as I predicted samurais are going down.... I think that south africa will still finish first

[betiko]

well france won with the bonus for 4 tries, but they freaking sucked. I think Ireland has made the best impression so far from all I've seen.

[mrswdk]

Italy vs Canada right now.

Italy kick off, ball comes down to the Canadian captain and he immediately drops it forwards and concedes a penalty.

Canada are going to get creamed.

[iAmCaffeine]

Italy beat Canada. South Africa beat Samoa. England beat Wales.

[Army of GOD]

hahahaha England sucks

[betiko]

hahaha!

Ok, so for Japan-South Africa, the japanese going for the try instead of trying the penalty shoot right at the end of the game was a bit kamikaze but they had nothing to lose...
But holy shit... England 3 down on the 79' and they do the same???? In their own world cup in the game they can't afford to lose??? shit dude, they had to secure the fucking draw, and maybe pass on bonus points at the end of the group stage!
Basically, if England doesn't win against australia they a freaking out of their own bloody WC!

South Africa showed today that the first match was just an accident, they payed some impressive rugby, really impressed by the quality and speed of their passes. They are definitely still a major team to count on for the title.

[iAmCaffeine]

Yeah, Robshaw and Youngs made stupid decisions at the end there. f*ck sake.

[betiko]

They got sooo dominated by the welsh pack on that action!

Anyways, I was very surprised to see prince william rooting for wales while prince harry was rooting for england.
Is that just for the show? And due to the fact that william will become pronce of wales as soon as grandma dies?
If scotland is playing england should I expect to see william rooting for the scotts and harry rooting for england?

[Army of GOD]

haha we suck

[betiko]

I guess you thought you had a chance during half time with the US going 13-6!

Could ve actually been pretty fun to see the US win, each team would ve had 1 win 1 loss!

It's always been that way. I'm not interested enough to find out why.

Our pack dominated for most of the game, especially in the scrum. For the majority of the game we had a 7-10 points lead but the entire time it looked like Wales would come back. It's so frustrating. I still believe we have the best team in the group.

[betiko]

Well if you think that, you re confident to see you guys win against australia?


Anyways, here are my forecasts all the way:

A australia wales
B south africa scotland
C NZ argentina
D Ireland France

Q1 SA vs Wales
Q2 NZ vs France
Q3 Ireland vs Argentina
Q4 Australia vs Scotland

SF1 SA vs France
SF2 Ireland vs Australia

Final SA vs Australia

Winner Australia

[mrswdk]

Q2 NZ vs France

SF1 SA vs France

Dream on Betsy.

[iAmCaffeine]

I do think we can beat Australia but after the loss to Wales I'm not sure. England seem to always have streaks. We're not a team that gets back up after being knocked down, but rather once we start rolling we continue to dominate for a period of time. It all depends how they react to the loss against Wales. Although we were the better team, just poor decisions at the end cost us the game.

I think New Zealand are going to win. France won't beat them, they're not good enough right now. South Africa could challenge if they can set the pace of the games against tough countries, but I don't like them.

[betiko]

Q2 NZ vs France

SF1 SA vs France

Dream on Betsy.

Well, as far as I remember, 99' france beats NZ in semi finals, 07' france beats NZ in quarter finals, 11' france loses by 1 point vs NZ in the final held in NZ with a freakin ref stealing our cheese.
How is it unrealistic to imagine france beat NZ you dumbass? It's definitely the southern hemisphere nation we are the most confident to play against.

France is not good enough to win the cup, but we re always up to beat NZ no matter how bad we are.

France has as much chances to beat NZ as england has to beat australia imo.

I wish we put a B team against Ireland so we can put all the saussage on the bbq for our quarter final vs NZ. I'd hate to win and having to play Argentina. argentina always kicks the shit out of us.

Yeah, except it's not the 1999 squad that's being fielded, it's the 2015 side which struggled to beat Scotland at the 6 Nations earlier this year.
