World Cup Rugby

[falco]

What's with Argentina? I know Pool D is not the strongest but they are a surprise to me.
Now worries in Pool B for the Wallabies, and I'd say the same for South Africa in Pool A (even though Tonga gave a good showing).

The Argies have always been the dark horses of world rugby. They usually perform woefully or brilliantly....looks like this time they're peaking at precisely the right time. Certainly played out of their skins against the French and (I think) they're the only team in the WC not to have a try scored against 'em so far.

Certainly judging by their performance so far, Argentina deserves to be now included in an expanded Tri-Nations IMHO anyway.

Yes, a pretty ordinary performance by the All Blacks yesterday. However better mediocre performances now than later on in the competition. I didnt think it was a particularly bad performance (didnt see the whole game....damn matches are on at such horrible times here in Korea...lol) but yes, they will have to run with the top squad from here on in I think.
