    England 23-19 Wales
    Scotland 10-6 Ireland

    Great fightback from Wales could this be their year i.e. they make it out of the first round group?

    Wales have a fairly easy group, only South Africa should beat them, but Fiji and Samoa could cause an upset.

    Wales 19 - 9 England

    So what have we learnt !! That neither team will win the world cup.

    Great defensive display by Wales though.

    new zealand are favourites like every world cup. Great performance defensively today :) Down to 14 men for 20 minutes and still winning is something to be proud of.

    Yes nothing like beating the old enemy at rugby but i think S.Africa are the only real threat to the All Blacks and i don't think the main S.African team have played in the tri nations yet so probably it's not going to be the four gone solution that many think it's going to be in the world cup.

    England > Aus, NZ are chokers, Eng v SA for the final, I know **** all about rugby but I'm probably right.

    I cannot believe we didn't win yesterday. Not bothered though as it is a warm up. I hope Johnson knows his starting line up now. Too many weak links in the team yesterday.

    I actually think the Aussies are the only ones with a paryer of upsetting New Zealand. I don't think even they are going to manage that this time though. It promises to be a horribly one sided affair i fear.

    I think NZ will win. I don't care though, as I'm just hoping for some exciting games and some nice upsets (Samoa <ok>)
