Really boring! !!! Rugby is for fat blokes that cant play football. Whatever your reply is.. it will be boring! You don't get football post on Rugby sites, so there's your answer right there. Yada yada yada, footballer softies, the money paid to players, we don't argue with the ref, we get up and get on with it. Whatever, your boring, so is your sport. Leave us alone ' Fat Blokes. ' go away!
Why do you hate rugby so much? Because they are polite, lesser paid, harder men than in football? Seems a weird reason...
put them in the 7 nations now..they are scarey now.. cant imagine what they would do to the italians or scottish
they cant all be fat blokes i just wanted to know the opinion of football fans of the world cup. not many football supporters here qpr999 but lots of rugger buggers. never thought i would do it but i went to a game sa v fiji..not a bad night
Just a thought... Will NZ throw their match against France? They'd then be in the easy half of the draw avoiding SA/Aussie in the semi...
nah. they are so desperate to win this one a loss to france could be the start of a slippery slope. anyway i got 5/1 on an nz eng final so the bastards had better win
never seen an all black side "throw" a game ever, they know they are good enough to beat any side on the planet
true hammer, also be interesting to add georgia, russia, romania even portugal and spain to the 6 nations
The interesting thing about the NZ and France match on Sat is that many pundits now see this as the final, especially the way the quarters and semis seem to be shaping up. No team in rugby blow as hot and cold as France do. They blow hot and cold in each half let alone within a group or tournenemt. What is in no doubt is the skill and talent within this French team and IF (big if) they show up on Saturday they will give NZ their fill of it. This fantasy that NZ, SA and the Aussies are miles ahead of the northern teams is just that - fantasy. I dont think England, Ireland, Wales or France fear any of them. Northern teams regularly beat the southern teams particularly when playing up north. Scotland even beat SA recently. NZ are the stand out team, no doubt about that, but they have consistently failed to live up their own hype in World Cup. I'm not saying that they consistently sh**e themselves but their record is very poor for the self proclaimed best team in the world. This World Cup could cause plenty of surprises yet.

Sorry Kiwi, i'd been to a birthday party , had a few beers and thought I was being funny. Reading this now, I can see its clearly not. Please accept my humble apologies. What is funny though, is that I actually love rugby.
It's that type of 'We just have to turn up to win attitude' that has seen them come unstuck so many times before, I've a sneaking feeling they'll blow it again somewhere along the line...
i for one, and i am sure many on this sight love most sports, i hate synchrised gymnastics etc etc, i will leave this in kiwis hands for his bold qf predictions, and for any qpr fans get ya ass down and visit nz, beautiful place then visit the real world in australia (sorry kiwi couldn't resist it)
There has always been plenty of this. No doubt that NZ have the best team and squad, but sport is sport and it often throws up some very fuuny results. While i think most people would like to see NZ win because of the sheer entertainment/joy they have given us over the years, i have a funny feeling that there will be a surprise winner.
