Rugby World Cup 2015

[Phil]

Hey everyone!!

The Rugby World Cup is kicking off Friday coming with England v Figi! This is the first World Cup since I've really been into Rugby and I am SOOO EXCITED!! Here are the pools:

How do you think your team will do in the pool stage?
How do you think your team will do in the tournament?
Who do you think will qualify for the next round?
Who do you think will win the World Cup?

surprised it took so long for this thread to be made
i'm v excite

didn't have much faith in wales but with halfpennys injury now, i'll be very surprised if we make it out the group stage

[Phil]

Yeah Wales probably have the toughest group imo. I didn't realise halfpenny was injured D=

[j0rd]

lost him and rhys webb in our last friendly before the tournament which is just typical really

Ugh no way!! What a pity :/ How long are they both expected to be out for?

halfpenny 6 months and webb several months
luckily we have decent kicking cover in biggar and preistland, but still a huge loss regardless

As much as I see Wales as a threat (even though we might not have come across them) it's a real shame!

I feel as much as you hope opposition players get injured and that it does spoil it

World Cup is about seeing the best teams and best players in one place, and for me, not seeing players like halfpenny, parisse etc is a huge loss for everybody!

Im not a massive rugby fan but some is being held where i live. We got offered tickets through work but it just doesn't interest me that much

When are Wales playing? I'm moving to Cardiff on Wednesday, it's going to be mental during freshers if the Rugby is on too!!!
