Rugby World Cup 2011
Well it's getting closer folks so we're going to need a thread for all the action.
;) After years of relative underperformance, are New Zealand going to go down as just about the biggest chokers in RU history or is home advantage going to work for them? |

Not looking forward to it from an England perspective - but then again I felt the same in 2007 and they almost turned it round!!
Where is that 2003 WC highlights dvd again...?;) |

ESPN Classic was showing England's RWC 2003 matches the other day. Not sure if they're repeating them though. |

Re: Rugby World Cup 2011
Whilst I'd love England to win, I'd also love to see the team who play the most entertaining rugby triumph. Although England have recently shown they can score lots of tries and play an exciting and expansive game, history shows that they've done best in these competitons when they've played tight, utilised their forwards and ground out results. On such a stage I don't see England wanting to risk chucking the ball around too much to win fans amongst the press corps and imagine they'll play in a controlled manner, hoping to minimise risks and win their games by hook or by crook. From what I've seen so far, however, I don't see Manu Tuilagi settling for anything less than 100% power, speed and aggression on the pitch and maybe his role in galvanising his teamates will determine how England play in spite of what Johnson set outs in the dressing room.

Re: Rugby World Cup 2011
Yes a comfortable win but its when it gets to the knockout stages then the All Blacks will feel the pressure and will they then live up to their chokers tag.
