Rugby World Cup 2007

Who is going to Win the Rugby World Cup 2007?

Host Nation France got a real surprise by the pumas. Argentina really making their mark on their defence and cleaning France out by winning the 17-12.

All Blacks Well the All Blacks have started with a Big Bang. Winning against Italy 49-14.
With a new line up and Jerry Collins as captain for the second match against Portugal in Lyon. Getting the boys out on the field and trying them in different combinations.

Samoa vs South Africa. My heart going out to the Manu. Although they did make South Africa work for the first 40mins. Unfair call by the Ref Paul Honiss for the disallowed try and the High Tackle made on Junior Polu which should of sent the South African player off the field.

Fiji vs Japan. Another Pacific Island Nation with a close win 35-31. Japan sure did upset the Fijians by their pase and defence. Japan who played Australia lossing 91 -3.

Ireland winning their match against Nambia 32-17. Being a stronger team. Their forwards making a good impact on the scrum and breaking the line.

Who to watch out for?

USA a team with good structure but needs more work on defence and scrums. Japan who defintely show that they have speed and like to play a faster game although lack of a good forward front row. Australia who I predict will do well and show improvement. South Africa with their all Star-team, watch out for their front row especial in scrum and keep out of their turn overs. All Blacks I'll like to see them work harder for their tries.
