can't wait...USA is going to get killed, but Rugby is a badass sport in general to watch

i didn't want to say it
but yea... Rugby is not really a Team USA kinda thing
I'd keep an eye on Wales, they look pretty good
of course the All Blacks are the favorites and they look pretty unstoppable, but England is in a pretty easy pool...
So we may see a Kiwi / English Rose finale

Didn't they lose to the Wallabies just last night in the Tri-Nations?

i'm telling you... they are a locomotive on steroids going down a steep hill, they won't even be challenged until the quarters-finals

it's all good lucky..
Rugby's popularity is growing by leaps and bounds, i wish everyone would at least take a look at it.... it's to American Football (NFL) what Blue's is to Rock.

While I doubt we will make it out of pool play, we actually tend to not get overly destroyed in the RWC (Just look at the last cup USA vs. England game and ignore the Churchill cup game when we lost 86-3 to the Saxons (England's B-side)). If nothing else we *should* beat Russia...damn commies

I hate them so much. Their style has no business in rugby.

They're the favorite every WC. All-Blacks love to choke.

They play my favorite style, they got 3rd in the last Cup, and their coaching is top notch. English have injury problems, but they are in good form.

My predictions:
Pool A: Japan (I know it's a small chance, but they kicked arse to get the Asia 1 spot in that 5 team tourny)
Pool B: England (After the last RWC, they want it bad)
Pool C: America 
, but really Aussie
Pool D: Samoa
Overall, Samoa.
