This channel on Vimeo has several international rugby matches streaming, but I don't think it has any Argentina matches.

I'm sure some here know of the site but for anyone who just wants to check out some highlights of some great rugby check out rugbydump.com
Obviously my avatar shows who I think will win it, but I really hope the USA can show up a little bit. The two games against Canada were very sloppy imo.

Picks by Pool (winner followed by second):
Pool A:
New Zealand
France
Pool B:
Argentina
England
Pool C:
Australia
Ireland
Pool D:
South Africa
Wales (though Fiji could surprise here)
Knockout:
Australia v Wales
Argentina v France
South Africa v Ireland
New Zealand v England
That would be some fun stuff to watch. The rematch of Arg/France should be exciting, and I'm curious to see how Ireland would match up with RSA, considering how they've changed their style of play when Sexton replaced O'Gara at flyhalf (a change which I felt was VERY needed, FWIW). NZ/Eng has the potential to be a classic AB choke job.
ETA: And of course, it would be awesome for Argentina to be the first country from the Americas to make it to the final.

Just booked my ticket. I'm pumped.
9/25-10/1 in Auckland
10/1-10/6 in Sydney
10/6-10/9 in Brisbane
Already got tickets for South Africa v Samoa at North Harbour Stadium on 9/30
Gonna get tickets for Fiji v Samoa at Eden Park on 9/25.
Would have loved to catch NZ v France, but to leave a day early and get there on 24th would be extra $400, not to mention how expensive finding a scalped game ticket would be.

So I'm going to watch France's open training session but disappointed to see Chabal didn't make their RWC roster.

Yeah. We have a guy on our club whom we've nicknamed the Argentinian Chabal. Similar player, with similar hair.
How does this impact you for the fall season?

I get back home on 10/9. Would love to stay longer but, we travel to play Renegades on 10/15. We could use some support.
Here's our schedule. This season will be interesting.
Posted on 8/31/11 at 2:49 pm to busbeepbeep
If I'm around, I'll be there for that match, for sure. We play those bastards on Nov. 19.
