All blacks for me. Best team in the world by some margin. They have had some upsets over the years when the tournament is away from nz I think Wales Australia & England will all win 1 of the 3 games between themselves and it'll come down to points difference. Its pathetic that they have been drawn in the same group as for 1 week about 3 years ago Wales were ranked 9th in the world and that's when they did the draw Really don't want to see another England triumph.
Be over there now after

Aye, stupid doing the draw 3 years out from the tournament, should be about 6 months out.
Don't want England or NZ to win, anyone else will be ok, especially Wales.

Head says All-Blacks sorry SwansNZ.
Honestly with the way its set up this time around I think I'm going to be really excited about the group stages with the quality in our group (we got a shot out of the group but it'll be tight specially with injury list), and then probably the final-- especially if we don't get out of our group.
I'm excited right now though. so many good matches to look forward to!
No. Probably not, but there isn't a million miles between Wales, England or Australia. Bitch of a group. Yes. I will be all over it during the Wales games and England v Australia. After that Ill switch off. Will probably watch the final though.

New Zealand are the best team in the tournament. In all honesty there is little to choose between England, Wales, Australia, Ireland and South Africa. France, Argentina and perhaps even Scotland are the wildcards who can spoil a party. There is always the nagging suspicion Australia or SA can beat NZ in a one-off game, as both have in recent seasons, as could Wales beat these. Fiji could prove decisive in the group-they could crock enough saes to open that game up to Wales. The draw is kind to Wales in having a 'free' warm up against Uruguay
Just back from Cape Town and the World Cup hype there is amazing. Went to the Springbok museum-they really hate NZ

Of course as an exiled Welshman, I always want Wales to do well and always want Engerlund not to do well, because we'll never hear the end of it otherwise. But to be honest, as long as the Swans are doing well, I couldn't give a stuff.

This Uruguay game is huge for Wales, the group could be so tight that whoever racks up over 60 points plus against them maybe the ones that squeak through. It's all on the day and defences unfortunately will win it.

The final is scheduled for a 4pm kick off on the 31st October, we play Areenal at home at 3, whoever decided upon that kick off time needs to be shot. A later time would be better for us here, with TV figures and also better for the Southern Hemisphere supporters, who are likely to be in the final. 8 o'clock like the Wales and Aus games are in Twickingham would have been fine.

Here’s hoping that the occasion tomorrow gets to England and Fiji can upset them — at least stop them from getting a bonus point win.

All the money is in the Northern Hemisphere and South Africa.

If we assume Ireland beat France and Scotland beat Samoa, then the quarter and semi finals will probably look like this…
QF1 New Zealand v France QF2 South Africa v 2nd in Pool A QF3 Ireland v Argentina QF4 1st in Pool A v Scotland
SF1 QF1 QF2 SF2 QF3 QF4
So while getting through the group is huge, if you can win it, you set up potential quarter and semi v Scotland and probably Ireland — a bit better than South Africa and New Zealand

With that in mind, I won't be watching the final.
Almost as nuts as that scheduling is Swansea v Arsenal hasn't been picked for a TV game. It's usually a cracker.

Full penny injury is savage blow but hopefully someone will step up.
Philips has a beautiful chance for revenge on gatland .needs to do it
I'd have played Sanjay at full back anyway, Biggar isn't far behind him in kicking either, so not a massive loss for me. Webb is the bigger loss. Shame that Cuthbert hasn't dropped out though.
I want a mate like Flashberryjacks, who wears a Barnsley jersey with "Swans are my second team" on the back.
If someone could get hold of Philips and tell him he doesn't need to send a e mail to the opposing back row as to where he going to pass he d. Be more effective.
He can't smash Afrikaner nor all blacks and also ingerlund .
He s crucial and needs both managing and motivating
