I may be wrong, but isn't this a relatively new (couple of years) thing that he wont play sundays?

he stoped playing on a Sunday in 2009 after finding religion when he was injured in 05. But between 2005 and the end of 09 he only played on game on a Sunday during the 08 Six Nations

James O'Connor, born in New Zealand to Kiwi parents with some South African grandparents yet he plays for Australia.

These eligibility lines in rugby get even more blurry by the year.

Ok, who were the other four idiots?

[Long live the 69]

Austrailia will win it.

Scotland i think will go out in the QFs

Yep you heard me. NZ will bottle in front of their own fans. SA really aren't that great. Adds up to an Aussie win (i'm not any way Aussie btw)

Australia are too weak in the back line, great players that they are but they don't like it up them, Cooper panics as soon as he's tackled and starts throwing the ball all over the place.

Bit rich coming from a Kiwi. Without players from Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, Cook Islands etc the All Blacks would struggle to fill a teamsheet.

I feel New Zealand deserve to win the World Cup, they are too big a rugby nation not to have won it more than they already have. Also want them to atleast get to the final as i love watching the haka

[airdrieman]

Yes the haka is one of the greatest things about rugby. Fantastic to watch and seeing it live is a brilliant experience.
Scotland will reach the QF then get knocked out and NZ to win it. Surely this is their time? Plus I don't see any team beating NZ when they're at their best, even Australia.

sitting in my Uncles flat In Auckland getting ready to head out and collect my match tickets reading the list of prohibited Items some of witch look strange

Quote

• Air horns or sound amplifiers including loudhailers

• Vuvuselas


• Flares, fireworks, laser lights/pointers, smoke bombs

• Compressed gas containers, aerosols

• High visibility vests or jackets (except for vests or jackets required by police, venue security or emergency services)


• Skateboards, roller blades, scooters, bicycles

• Furniture, chairs or stools of any kind (including portable seating)

• Car parts

• Flags with flag sticks/poles of more than 800mm in length


• Vuvuselas

• Musical instruments, whistles

• Prams, strollers, pushchairs

• Umbrellas

So the Question is who takes car parts to a Rugby game. It is also good to see a ban on takeing vuvuselas to the game but a pitty that fan with Bag Pipes will not be allowed to take them in to the Scotland games.

They've banned it twice just to make sure!

[Bully Wee Villa]

So, England vs Argentina. An England win would probably be best for Scotland wouldn't it? Would most people settle for just getting through the group... in which case we could probably do with Argentina getting a bonus point-less defeat, or do people actually think we can win the group to give us a chance of avoiding New Zealand and getting to the semis?

I think I'd probably settle for a Quarter-Final defeat, to be honest, so long as the All Blacks don't beat us by an embarassing score.

I acknowledge it might go against the grain to cheer for England but an English win against the Pumas might be the best result for Scotland. Otherwise it's possible we could beat the Argentinians and still not qualify.

The difference being the fact that Auckland has the highest Polynesian population in the world outside of Polynesia so many of them were born and brought up in New Zealand.

[airdrieman]

The thought of Nonu and SBW playing together in the centres must be absolutely frightening for anyone coming up against them.

Don't know a thing about rugby other than you have to pass it sideways and you have to touch the ball over the line to score a tri. I do however always enjoy watching scotland, should.in my opinion be alright in the pool we are in. Looking forward to it.
