The Rugby World Cup 2011 Thread!

OK, my favorite time of the year is almost here, and I can't be the only TBer who likes rugby.

So, discuss anything rugby-related here. Your fave teams, possible winners, fixtures...anything as long as it's got an oval ball in it!

I'm supporting France, and here's my reason:

An Englishwoman supporting France?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

There's already a thread about the WRC.

Firstly, there is another thread

(as Vorago points out) :

Secondly, Chabal isn't playing in this RWC

Finally, it's every 4 years, so surely it can't be your favourite time of year, every year (man I wish there was one every year!)

Chabal = Uruk Hai

I like Chabal, but the way he played in the last 6 Nations, he doesn't deserve the start in the first 15. I wouldn't leave him at home though. He's great when he enters the game at 60 minutes or so

Lièvremont is an idiot.

He's a good player, maybe a bit past his best now. With hype preceeding him.

Must admit, he did well working up the persona that he did.

Not the standout character that became what we expected from him!

Well its the business end of the tournament, and im pretty pleased with tonights quarter finals results. It always makes me happy to see England lose. Im hoping for a New Zealand v. Wales Final.
