IRB Rugby World Cup 2007

So today IRB Rugby World Cup 2007 is officially begin, one I'm looking forward since England lift the title 4 years ago, defeating Assie thanks to Wilkinson free kicks in extra time, bringing the trophy to the northern hemisphere.

The Polls:
Group A:England, South Africa, Samoa, USA, Tonga
Group B:Australia, Wales, Fiji, Canada, Japan
Group C:New Zealand, Scotland, Italy, Romania, Portugal
Group D: France, Ireland, Argentina, Georgia, Namibia

The opening match on Saturday morning involve France vs Argentina, where the South American make an impact by beating the host 17-12 (a boring game, full of free kicks rather than tries), followed by Italy vs New Zealand, Aussie vs Japan, England vs USA etc etc the following day (Saturday night). New Zealand and Australia totally demolish their opponent in their opening game. New Zealand beat Italy 76-14, while Aussie vs Japan, the only yesteday match that I watch, win by 91-3. That's quite impressive, considering that at halftime, they only at 23-3 (and getting 60+ score on the other half!)
