It Starts Today


Yes, the Rugby World Cup kicks off later this evening with the opening match between France and Argentina. There is a chance that the Pumas may maul the roosters but I suspect that the end result will be that the Pumas are likely to be pecked into submission.

I'm a realist. England will not get any further than the semi-finals and much as I would like to see them win it again, it will not happen.

Of the Home Nations, I think Ireland is in with the best chance of making it to the final but that remains to be seen.

The All Blacks are of course the tournament favourites and it remains to be seen whether they live up to their promise.
