Not watching but it was my NZ mates that got me hooked on rugby and I'm always for the All Blacks!
When I lived in Vegas I went to the Rugby 7's tourney each year, I'll probably fly down for it still.
Watched some yesterday...purely down to heart, determination and overall going for the win and not taking the easy way to a tie, Japan won me over.
Could easily have taken penalty kicks but went for the win and did it.......it probably sounds like everyone loves teams like that, but I truly do......win or fucking lose, go for it.....I loved Jimmy johnsons Cowboys......could have kicked field goal late in nfc championship game against niners and gone up by 6......but Jimmy went for the Td and they salted it by getting it.........I was shi--ing a brick but was thinking "yes", I love this move away from conservative play.....

Awesome. Would love to go.
Made it to a crusaders game with the wife when we were in NZ earlier this year. All Blacks weren't playing at that time unfortunately.
NZ has this. Up 26-16 with 3 min to go.
Argentina put in a good effort.

Yeah NZ took it in the end, but the pumas ( argentina ) put a great effort in.
I'm still completely gobsmacked from yesterdays when Japan beat South Africa. Biggest upset in rugby history.

Better yet was how they handled it, putting everything on the line and just going for broke ......any fuck ups from their side at the end and it would have been over and they lose......
Yeah that was a good one, and then the new haka "Kapa O Pongo" with throat slitting was even more awesome.
Some of the earlier ones were not quite as intimidating.
We've had the evolution of dance, so here is the evolution of the haka.
Tu meke bro
That is so awesome!!
But they are starting to feel the pressure a bit
They defend way better than I expected, the experience of scotland was always going to show up toward the end.
They have some big monsters and are quicker than I thought they would be
I love World Cup rugby when you have 2 relatively even teams playing where they are laying some serious shots on each other. The score wasn't indicative of the battle that occurred........

Ye and they organise ok too, encouraging all round.
That is not going to be the case in the next game, Ireland V Romania I'm going with Ireland by more than thirty points after a tough first half.
Verse 1
Come the day and come the hour
Come the power and the glory
We have come to answer our country's call
From the four proud provinces of Ireland
Chorus
Ireland, Ireland Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We'll answer Ireland's call
Verse 2
From the mighty glens of Antrim
From the rugged hills of Galway
From the walls of Limerick and Dublin Bay
From the four proud provinces of Ireland
Verse 3
Hearts of steel and heads unbowing
Vowing never to be broken
We will fight until we can fight no more
For the four proud provinces of Ireland
Verse 4
Erin's warriors, clad in emerald
Steadfast souls confront their challenge
'Neath the glass sky they assemble
For the four proud provinces of Ireland
Come the day and come the hour
Come the power and the glory
We have come to answer our country's call
From the four proud provinces of Ireland
Chorus
Ireland, Ireland Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We'll answer Ireland's call

England might be in trouble as they have to beat Australia or they are out. That would make them the first host to fail To get out of the group stage. What are your thoughts on the winner of this one?
