Was wondering were Dakka's Rugby thread was. As expected Canada is out despite the awesome beards.  Go All Blacks I guess.

We may not have. J/k, we don't always qualify. I remember America scored a try against South Africa last cup and they made a commecial out of it and showed it a thousand times.

yeah we Yanks did have a rugby team, and if you read articles on ESPNscrum.com, they would have had you believe that we'd actually make it out of the group stage. I think that the reason we didn't (besides getting beaten in the matches), was because the "Worldwide Leader in Sports" (aka, ESPN) didn't cover any of the RWC, the fethers.

And I would put money on the All-Blacks for home advantage and generally crushing everyone. England played terribad against France though I never saw that match. Wales beating Ireland was a surprise, and Wales will probably beat France with ease.
Bit predictable these events. Aussies, South Africans or New Zealanders will win Doesn't matter who, just those 3. And the English won't win considering we suck at sports in general... the Olympics aren't gonna go our way at all...
I wouldn't worry about the Olympics. Based on my experience of transport in the south-east and London, no-one will get to any of the events on time.

I only have access to ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN.com, and ESPNscrum.com.. There was no coverage for the RWC thus far on sportscenter, which is the flagship show (basically if its not on sportscenter, it wont be touched by espn)

Anyway it is set up nicely for the Kiwis to meet France in the final and overcome their choking hoodoo against them.

Pfff, I'll be shocked if France wins. Got to see a lot of them because they were in the same pool as Canada. I guess if you finish in the top 3 of your pool you automatically qualify for the next cup. Canada beat Tonga and sat back confident they'd made it. Then Tonga beat France. Seriously France? Actually Canada almost beat France too except we manage to miss like 8 kicks. Avenge us Wales!

Well they did win somehow. Not sure they deserved it. Why the hell didn't Wales just go for a kick sometime in the last 10 minutes? Quite the nail-biter anyway.

According to the papers and all the people coming in and buying them, the only reason Wales didn't win 568930987294 - 0 was the Ref has a French father, and purposely prevented Wales from winning.

Well, Australia sure did get pantsed. That 20-6 scoreline was probably pretty flattering to Australia in the end, if the New Zealanders had kicked a little straighter it could have been much worse.

Anyone know anywhere on the web where I could watch the games (either streamed or downloaded?), specifically wouldn't have minded seeing the France/All blacks game. Less chance of seeing it on TV than there is of getting a decent pint here :(
