Rugby World Cup : France 2007
- Thread starter limerickman

Rugby is something I know little about. I used to see it played quite a bit in Sacramento some years ago but not much outside the city. It's all Soccer, Track and Field, Basketball, Baseball and Football around here... It seems many of the Baseball Diamonds are being converted to Soccer Pitch.Crankyfeet said:
The past 5 years I have seen quite a bit more Crickett played as well.
Does anyone know if it's being televised in U.S. ?

We have to beat Argentina - we have to beat them by more than 7 points and we have to score four tries against them, in order to get out of the group stage.
Looking at how badly we played against Namibia, Georgia and France - I think our worldcup is over.
I don't think we'll get past Argentina.

Heard from a friend that South Africa beat England 30 - 0.... How could that have happened?Is that a reflection on the state of the sport in Britain, meaning that Rugby is perhaps losing its popularity (and best players) somehow?

SA played better on that day.
Considering the whipping the South Africans gave them, I'd take a guesstimate & say at least 26 / 13 in OZ's favour.... But then, I'm no Rugby expert!limerickman said:

Argentina have been playing some really good stuff in the RWC : Scotland gave them a great game last weekend.
Argentina have been the form side - they beat France (and Ireland) in their group matches :
NZ were fancied to beat France - but France were dogged and fought and fought.
NZ couldn't get by them : France were superb.
France England will be a classic hopefully.
England have started to play : i think it will be a South Africa England final.
World Cup Final takes place tomorrow evening in Saint Denis.
ENGLAND V SOUTH AFRICA.
Hard one to call........very difficult in fact.
I have a sneaking suspicion that England could, could, win it.
Rivetting stuff nonetheless.
