Thought it would be good to have some early views on the forthcoming spectacle. Be great to hear from all of you rugby folk....
My personal opinion is that New Zealand are the best side I have seen this year closely followed by South Africa.I can already hear the moans from the Irish and French supporters. I feel that the French have got too many injuries and the Irish just wont be good enough on the day ...but these are my own views .I cant see any other team winning it. The draw has to come into the equation and it makes it tough on the best 4 teams,that is another reason I feel the All Blacks will win as they are so tough to beat. A good each way bet at the prices are Australia as the draw has been very kind to them.
There are bound to be some terrific in running bets if you know where and when to look over the tournament, so good luck all.
All other views welcome......

Argentina to win Group D given England's awful form in the last 12 months ?

Pretty much agree with both of you regarding the World Cup but i am a bit out of touch due to the TV coverage. I've seen the results and if i was forced to have a bet at this stage i would back the Boks @ 6.6.

Owen Farrell to miss opening two games of World Cup after red card reinstated
The England captain has received a six-match ban, reduced to four on mitigation and will miss the pool games against Argentina and Japan |
|
By:
So now we know that Billy Vunipola will miss at least one game ,against Argentina and maybe another against Japan and we will still take him as the only specialist no 8.
I know there are others that can fill the gap but it seems ridiculous to me, what if he is naughty again or gets injured!! |

The Royal "we" hunt?Not only English on here m8.

The England rugby team have another injury as Anthony Watson is ruled out of World Cup. Will be interesting to see how they fare against Fiji this weekend.
Be good to 'hear' other formites views on their own countries chances... |

yo why the **** are england still favs vs argentina, no way arg aren't going favs before kick-off
couldn't believe the odds a couple weeks ago. |
|
By:
Have to agree Razz, I think this is the worst England team I can remember. Not sure Borthwick knows what his "best " team is .Think we should of stuck with Eddie till after World Cup
|
|
By:
argentina must be so confident here, especially after beating england for the first time last year too and that was a much stronger england team probably
|
|
By:

|
|
By:

Very interesting listening to Eddie Jones this morning, blaming England's demise on the RFU.
Also he reckons Ireland, New Zealand have players that are maybe just over their prime and not enough good new talent coming through.He is obviously trying to get the best out of the Ozzie squad who do look limited but they do have one of the easiest draws in my opinion. I still reckon New Zealand will win the cup but they will have to play a lot better than they did at Twickenham!! |

France v New Zealand Friday
England v Argentina Saturday Scotland v South Africa Sunday. Wow, what a start, as well as numerous other games |
|
By:
Yes great start unlike the football World Cup I’ve no doubt South Africa will win the tournament.
|

By:
Not long to go now.Bring it on.SA to exit at group stage.Worst possible game to kick of the tournament for the boys.Anyone going to any of the games?
|
|
By:
Think Wales will suprise a lot of people and reach the semis at least. Gatland is no fool and will progress further than most anticipate imo. Oggie oggie oggie

By:
Good evening rugby fans, really looking forward to this tournament as I'm sure we all are.
Tough game first up to confidently predict so I've done the draw @ 27.0. I should get a run for my money hopefully! |

By:
France to win the whole thing for me

Worse side ever for us surely? |
|
By:

Good evening everyone - No idea what will happen tonight - no idea what will happen in this World Cup - Stuck a few quid on SA - but hoping for a good one.

Famous last words but why are Aussies 1.07
to win opening game. Looks like free money... If Guinness need me to do an advert if I jinx it I'm not bitter.... |

Fancy France tonite, good luck all.

How can it possibly be right to allow one team to put on a warlike display while none of the other teams can? This is a World Cup in France, not a "friendly" in Auckland! I don't like France in any situation so I will have to be cheering NZ.
