The Rugby World Cup just started. You going to watch it?

Who is gonna win?

I think England are peaking at the right time

I think it's still New Zealand's to lose. Even without Brodie Retalic for the group stage, they have the best team. Their wobble in the rugby Championship came at the right time for them to recalibrate.

They meet a newly improved Boks team in their first game and that will be a real game.

Wales and Ireland are doing well but does either have the belief or big game mentality to win the final? Australia have a strong history but look as weak as they ever have done. They did get a win againts the All Blacks last month so you never know. I could see them beating one big team but then collapsing the following week. Scotland and Argentina look like decent dark horses and the host nation could pull a surprise.

As for England? Eddie Jones has a record of doing well in World Cup. I don't think we will win but could get to a semi or final.

Of course I am.

New Zealand, South Africa, Wales, Ireland, England and Australia - one of them will win the Cup.

@Mugin16 I would suspect so. Hard to see anyone else getting in there

@SW-User Yes, Argentina, France and Scotland lack the consistency to win the World Cup. On their day, they can beat anybody but in order to win the World Cup you need to play very well for the entire tournament.

Not England, I pick ABs followed by Ireland
SW-User
@justanothername I think England destroyed Ireland a few weeks back
Mugin16 · 46-50, M
Good game so far. Russia vs Japan 7-5
SW-User
@Mugin16 Yeah Russia came out of the traps well
Mugin16 · 46-50, M
@SW-User Just shows how important the fundamentals are - lineouts, scrums, ball handling, tackling.

I like the off-load that created the Japanese try.
Australia.. no no, I’m serious 🤣

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout They are always in with a shout. Bookies have them 4th favourites.

🇦🇷 Vamos Pumas!
SW-User
@Mugin16 Dark horses
Mugin16 · 46-50, M
@SW-User I hope they can make the quarterfinals but they need to beat either France or England to do so. That is a tough ask.
SW-User
@Mugin16 I would not be too surprised if they did
