MooNoi Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 So who's going to win it? As much as it pains me to say it, I'd have to say the Kiwi's are the faves... probably Sth Africa second. Our Aussie team are a pack-of handbag-carrying woosies at the moment. :( Hard to tell with the Sh African's as they've sent their virtual B-side to Oz and NZ at the moment for the tri-nations. French are a dark-horse as always. :smirk: And England's chances of defending their world cup win from last time? Zero-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julian2 Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Is this the one where they have to jump up and down for the ball? I know both codes do that bum sniffing bit. Why don't they say if it's league or union so I know what I'm not watching? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Munchmaster Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Once we've disposed of the Kiwis, in Edinburgh on 23 September (I'll be there), there will be no stopping us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ongchaiyai Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 In response to The_Munchmaster - Rugby World Cup 2007 Hey Muchie..

Despite a lack of success in recent years, the USA was last country to win an Olympic gold medal for rugby union (thereâ??s one for the Trivial Pursuit buffs). A rag-tag team of rugby players and American footballers beat France by 17 points to three at the 1924 Paris Olympics. Shortly after this, however, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) removed rugby union as an Olympic sport. Go Blacks **tried to fix-up the margins, but the bourbons are kicking in - hic!

MooNoi Posted July 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Australia hasn't beaten NZ in Auckland since 1986 I think it was. Can't see that changing this Saturday unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
