2019 Rugby World Cup

[Secretario]

Less than one month to go, fellas.





So Wales leads the World Ranking for the first time.
Also the first time a European is on top since... 2003? 2004?
Will we finally have another European champion or nah?



Who are you guys rooting for?
Springboks fan here.

Oh it's nice of you to have put France in the list.

Well i would enjoy if an european team win (except england of course). But i will bet on new zeland for another victory

You never underestimate a three-time runner up. Did anyone expect France to reach the final and almost ruin New Zealand's party in 2011? Did you?
That said, I usually root for, second to Springboks only. But Parra out of the squad? Really?

I think it would be good for rugby if a new champion shows up this time and you can't really expect Argentina would do that (although I like a lot the Pumas).

Indeed our team probably won't pass the first stage.
The last championship was the time to do somerhing better but right now the team is in an appalling condition.
May be in 8 yars more or less things could change succesfully...

I predict an England-Wales final with Owen Farrell scoring a last-minute drop goal to win it for England, Jonny Wilkinson-style. Btw, nice to have another big rugby fan here.

Hummm... Difficult to defeat the All Blacks.
All Blacks = Brazil in soccer = US in Basketball or Baseball...

The worst part is that this bloody Pool C happens in the same year Jaguares reach Super Rugby finals.
But I still believe Argentina could surprise England or France.
Everyone expected Pumas to be eliminated in the first round in 2007 and what we watched to was Argentina beating France twice and Ireland once.
I think it would be much worse for Pumas if the pool had some Southern Hemisphere team like in 2003.

Good luck for you guys.

Change the match winning kick to Biggar and I'll be happy.

Uh... I don't think USA is that strong in baseball, believe me. Just check the World Baseball Classic results.
Let alone Brazil in soccer!

But the comparison to the US Basketball team makes sense.
That's why I'd like to see the All Blacks facing Australia or South Africa as soon as possible. That's the best chance for them to fall.

Yes, in the semi-finals, Wales will defeat South Africa and England will defeat New Zealand.

I'am sure many did as France win the tournament in 2010 while winning all the game. Also won in 2004, 2006 and 2007.
