Tick Tock... Tick Tock... a few more weeks and it will be upon us... the greatest battle the rugby world has ever seen. What team will you be rooting for?
My predictions:
Quarter Finals: Semi's: Finals:
Pool A - England, S. Africa
S. Africa
Pool B - Australia, Fiji
Australia
Australia
;D
Pool C - NZ, Scotland
N.Zealand
N.Zealand :'(
Pool D - France, Ireland
France
OK Peter, you reckon Fiji doesn't stand a chance against Wales... I agree it will be an uphill battle.. seeing as though they've beat us every time we've ever met (6 matches). I still think it is possible; we came close in Nov 2005 when we led most of the match but they beat us 10 - 11 thanks to a face-saving drop goal . Also, our chances of beating them have been severely damaged by the French Rugby Union and IRB joining up to ban the worlds fastest winger for three months. He was banned for using marijuana. Marijuana has a damaging effect on a players ability to play... affects co-ordination. It is not a performance enhancer! Fair enough he broke rules/laws and should be banned from playing rugby for 3 months... BUT what's worse.. they banned him from having anything to do with rugby. He cannot train with the Fiji team or any other rugby team in the country. His ban gets lifted before Fiji's second match but if he can't train, there's no point. :'(
In 2003 we missed the quarter finals by 2 points (Fiji 20 - 22 - Scotland)
Check out these two beauties (2003 RWC):
In Fiji's first match he scored this beauty...

Later in the match he was in a fight and got banned for two matches. When he came back in the final pool game he redeemed himself with this amazing performance:

Bronze Final will go to Australia
Final well I am both New Zealand and France fan I'll say New Zealand but since the World Cup is in France there is a possibility for France and historically New Zealand doesn't play well against France, one thing I am sure, there will be a fight. - VirtueShop

New Zealand are under too much pressure. Everyone expects them to win. They must win! They have to win. .. therefore they will lose. (the pressure is too much)
Besides, Daniel Carter is likely to accidentally rub some eye-liner or the other make-up he wears into his eyes... then all his kicks will be way off target.

Fiji may struggle to bring Kava into France so will therefore be suffering from withdrawl syptoms and fail to make the quarters.
AB's all the way (this time..... please...)

Snif, why aren't these games broadcasted in Belgium,
Is there an online tv-player that shows the complete game ? - I use simplix, does this mean that I'm a simple guy ?

Impossible!! I refuse to believe that.
As far as I know there is no online broadcast of the games... but you'll most certainly see clips of the best tries etc on youtube and news channels like bbcnews.com - Say no to Internet Explorer 6.
