    Tough group for us, Fiji and Samoa certainly arnt pushovers and well, S.Africa should run away with the group. Can still see us sneaking through though as we do have a decent team, cant see us getting past the Aussies in the quarters though.

    Want to see Australia win as always, but always respected New Zealand and really want to see Argentina improve. The US are hopeless but I'll obviously want them to win their matches. Basically as long as neither England nor South Africa win I'll just be happy to enjoy rugby on the TV for once here in the States.

    I can honestly see Argentina getting a doing of England. No matter how good your players are individually, the lack of match practice is a huge hurdle.

    Just joined the fantasy league, a bit late but that's just to give you guys a head start!

    Well, that 1st half was far from inspiring.

    Bit of ill-discipline in conceding penalties, and a bit of nerves in our execution going forward.

    Main worry is how easy the scrum is being bossed. This is going to happen again v Georgia - might need to juggle personnel.

    One thing's for sure, we'll need to step up from this standard against Argentina.

    This is a farce. So many handling errors. We're being bossed in the scrum by a team we should roll over. Get the ball in hands and run with it. The ref is letting the Romanian players away with a lot at the moment.
