Kicks off on Friday with a cracker.....France v New Zealand!
Who you backing to win the WC?
Obviously I'd love Ireland to do it, but that group we're in is a fucking nightmare. If we had an easier group I'd fancy us, but I don't think anyone is going to emerge from that group without serious fatigue and no doubt, with a plague of injury problems.I certainly don't take our progression from the group for granted. Emerging from the group if you manage it you face a reasonably fresh France or All Blacks side. Nightmare. With that in mind, the big teams from all other groups are advantaged. My feeling is France will do it.
I think it is a stitch up putting the Saffers and Ireland in the same group with Scotland, who are the best looking Scots team in a generation. If it wasn't for us sharing that group my money would be on the Saffers or Ireland. You have to say, from the rest France are the best side.Your feeling is terrible! ZEE FRENCH!??!?
They win enough in footy - leave rugby to the southern hemisphere! 🙂

I think this is the best Scotland side in a generation and I won't be surprised if they make it out of that group, and then, who knows.scotland scotland 🙂
Not only do I agree but I'm going to go one further, I think this world cup will also fuck up Ireland's chances in next year's six nations.Obviously I'd love Ireland to do it, but that group we're in is a fucking nightmare.

So here goes day 3:
Japan v Chile
Should be an easy win for Japan, anything else would surprise me.
South Africa v Scotland
This should be a belter! The best Scotland team in ages face one of the best teams of the world right now. I think Scotland could really win this one.
Wales v Fiji
Wales will win comfortably.
