Which team is the best one when it comes to rugby? Sorry for asking such a question but rugby is not popular at all in my country

The New Zealand All Blacks are usually rated nr 1 in the world.They are immensely proud of their Rugby.Almost a religeous passion for them.They do underperform in the world cup,however.Last won it in 1987.I know they dearly want it,this time.Perhaps,too much ... again.They have a tough 1/4 final match,coming up against France next weekend.It will be worth watching ...

Am I right from the way that you have laid out the draw that England will have to beat Australia and then New Zealand, before we go on to beat SA and retain the Webb Ellis Trophy ?

Yes, we're in for an exciting time. Was interesting watching the Tongans give the English a scare though!

I agree,with what Eddie says.

England will try and play classic,effective 10 man rugby.If England can match Aus in the front and Sir Willy can keep them on the backfoot and in their halve they have a chance.On the other hand,Larkhams loss,is severe,BUT,Aus usually rises to the occasion and have shown big game temperament,many times ....... I predit,Aus by about 8-10 points.

80 min,most points on the board ,are all that matters from now on.The interesting part starts now ...

NZ vs France ....... nr 1 against the hosts,in the packed Millenium stadium.Can the unthinkable happen again,similar to 1999 ? I dont think any of us thought these two would meet in the 1/4 finals ..... Its going to be a cracker !!!!
