I don't think Mick or Charlie ever attended a rugby match. Anyway, for the few amateurs of this game on this board. England and France were at pain today in their respective match. But the competition will surely deliver some great "fight" in the coming weeks.

An excellent night at the pubs last night I watched the England vs Argentina game England won 13-9.Thousands of English and Argentinians fans in town a really good vibe about the place

I watched some games.
England could have scored much more but Wilkinson was not at his best.
Even New Zealand was expected to be much more dominating against Tonga.
France against Japan too.
Consequently we can think this championship seems to be open. In semi final, I see New Zealand, England, Australia and France

and now it's South Africa's turn to be suffering against Wales.

Indeed. Wales was stolen 3 points and should have won. The best match since the start.

England were poor and hopefully won't play as badly again in this tournament. I enjoyed the SA - Wales match. As a neutral it was edge of the seat stuff.

Always wondered how we win games like today, when we play such shite rugby.

and you've got
The Rolling Stones

Can the games be watched online ?

Wales vs South Africa was the best game so far especially the Welsh they played really well,hard out.Im so pleased for them.South Africa won 17-16

The Ireland vs America (The Eagles) game Ireland won 22-10 and because it coincided with the 10th anniversary of 9/11 there was a special church service before the game for the American team and their supporters and both teams played wearing black arm bands.

I'm gutted - still can't believe we lost! Played some excellent stuff but just couldn't kill the game off. Still think Hook's first half penalty went over though!!

yes Wales deserved to win indeed.

IRELAND vs ITALY= PARTY TIME

ENGLAND vs SCOTLAND= AN EVEN BIGGER PARTY

A quote from a World Cup reporter

"I've never heard The Rolling Stones played as often anywhere as I have in NZ.That's not a bad thing"

wow Japan has been seriously slapped by New Zealand..A real lesson of rugby !
I'm afraid for my team, France !

Congrats to Ireland who performe a great match. Nearly made a try which was deserved.

I watched it too .
The Irish blew my mind.

Is it going to be France against England ?

Don't know how to translate it when it comes to sport
"against " or vs" ?

Probably. And France will make it this time.

The USA has a national rugby team? Blimey! I thought they insisted on pads and helmets?

IRELAND..Good one

Go France!
The ground is too wet from the rain :-{

Canada leading France at the moment.France will come out on top in the end I am sure.England finally overcome Geogia with a decent second half 41-10.The top teams have more stamina come the second half.

It was mentioned that Rugby Union is the fastest growing sport in the US with currently 850,000 playing regularly. Canada giving a great account of themselves.

Congratulations to Canada even if they lost against France cos these guys are semi-professionnal.
They showed a beautiful opposition in the first half.
