I'm kinda unsure how to take France.. i mean are they guna be at their imperious best or are they guna fail to show up in the big games the way they hav done the past few six nations tournaments ... i mean they are the type of team who can beat the all blacks one day then get beat by Italy the next.
I wasn't counting on Italy pulling off a shock in this one, esp with praisse being out

Play outstanding one minute then like a bunch of whatever next. I think your Ireland should be safe in this group though as you eased past canada only in second gear. I was a bit disappointed with Italy tbh against France as I thought they would put up a better fight than what I saw. Maybe they will play better in the next match. |

New Zealand 26-16 Argentina. Hats off too the Argies, they rattled the All Blacks in the first half by solid tackles. A lot of handling errors by the AB's but in the second half they just upped a gear and won it. I think the Argies and the Japanese sussed out (for now) how to rattle the big boys is just go in hard on tackles and throw them off their rhythm. The Argies had the physical power against the AB's but the Japanese matched that against the Springbok's with physical power and speed. I am enjoying this RUWC.

Funnily enough I thought of that game straight away lol. Got there in the end. Missed a few first team players that will be back in for the England game so knew we'd be a bit rusty. Was hoping for a few more points 2bh and wasn't overly happy with the result. Hope Liam Williams and Corey Allen are both available and aren't out for too long. Thought Priestland had a good game for a change but was disappointed with Cuthbert. He's not consistent enough tpbhe starting. |

I was sitting here thinking (first half) "FFS...not another Japanese v Springbok's result?". But the second half the AB's upped a gear and won it. Hat's off too the Argies though but I think they run out of puff with the AB's onslaught. |

They've also played them a lot recently due to the championship so you could see they weren't scared of them. |

Rugby World Cup 2015: Wales 54-9 UruguayBy Richard Williams BBC Wales Sport at the Millennium Stadium Wales: (28) 54
Tries: Allen 3, Lee, Amos, Davies 2, Tipuric Cons: Priestland 7 Uruguay: (9) 9
Pens: Berchesi 3 Wales claimed a bonus point as they opened their World Cup campaign with a stuttering eight-try win over battling Uruguay at the Millennium Stadium.
Cory Allen scored a hat-trick as Wales opened a 28-9 half-time lead. But the centre may miss the rest of the World Cup with full-back Liam Williams and props Paul James and Samson Lee among other injury worries............ www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/34294887 |
