For all fans of Rugby Union - we have the biggest event in the world going on right now. Discuss.
Funny thing is... listening the English media - both were HUGE upsets!!<cite>@Mastoor said:</cite>
I am a fan of All Blacks, everyone playing against England and everyone coached by Eddie Jones.
Wales and Australia beating England are not upsets because both are top nations and currently ranked #2 and #3 in the world (both wins made me happy though, don't you worry about it)

Real upset was Japan beating South Africa.
Great stuff mate - I went to a few back in 99 when Wales hosted it and the Millenium Stadium was all shiny and new. I've got a gut feeling that the All Blacks aren't going to win it. I don't think Argentina will though - they have vastly improved but still probably a step too far right now.<cite>@Federberg said:</cite>
Gawd yes! I've been completely focussed on it. England was a fiasco, but wasn't really surprised to be honest. This weekend promises to be a cracker. Wales v Australia and France v Ireland, I'll be buying a crate of Old Speckled Hen and settling in for the show!
Australia look like the form team to be honest, but what is really interesting is to see who loses the France-Ireland match. The loser has to play the All Blacks, so both are going to really go for it in this match.
The most interesting thing to me is the fact that no one is paying much attention to Argentina. I think this is a huge mistake. The way those guys move the ball around now, they may well be on a par with any northern hemisphere team. They always had the forwards but now they are playing good phase ball. It wouldn't shock me if it's an all southern hemisphere semis.
Btw.. I went to the All Blacks v Argentina at Wembley. It was awesome!
I always thought he was the most cunning of all the rugby coaches. I never understood the unjust treatment he had in his home country after they fired him from the wallabies. I am happy to see every his success since like when he won world cup with Springboks 8 years ago.<cite>@britbox said:</cite>
@Mastoor By the way, what's your beef with Eddie Jones?
Ah, ok - I thought your original post meant you didn't like him.<cite>@Mastoor said:</cite>
