rugby world cup

Tonight was the first game of the Rugby World Cup; and what a game!  I think my whole block will have heard me shouting as Argentina ran in their try, and again in the dieing moments as they held on for a great win.

It has kind of made the predictions I was going to do a bit harder.  In their pool I had expected France to go through as winners with one from Argentina and Ireland.  But the whole group is up in the air now and I am not quite sure what to call.  In the Scotland group New Zealand will go through first with, again, a close call between Scotland and Italy - but I'll say Scotland...  South Africa will win their group with England coming second, and Australia will win their group with Wales coming second.  So there are my predictions.  Well, almost...

I also read this article, worth a quick read, about the Togan team and their daily prayer meetings.

Very interesting predictions! I don't think England will do much possibly second in their group but there is no way they will win it. It would be a total travesty as they don't play very exciting Rugby and like their football counterparts the rest of the world will never hear the end of them winning again especially with another drop goal.
