Rugby World Cup ** NZ v Japan **

[Simster]

I have a feeling NZ might just SQUEAK past Japan.






...by about 60 points.

Good game this. Predictably the ABs scored early on, but it's 7-0 after 12 mins and the NIPS had a decent attacking position a moment ago...

I saw the Japs eye a shock at the last world cup when they gave the Welsh a scare.

my favourite kiwi on the pitch is James Arlidge. He plays fly half for JAPAN

Japs are getting ruined now 38-0 and not even half time yet !

This is going to be a cricket score. They might get more points than Joe Gatting got in runs last season

First 15 mins were decent, but since then it's got ridiculous. Every time I look at the game, the ABs have the ball in a scrum or are running towards the line with the ball.

i had New Zeland by 50-60 points think it will be 80-90

407 at an average of 50.87 in the County Championship. Gonna be a high scoring game then.

I remember watching this match in the '95 World Cup and Meyhrtens (sp?) scored something like 45 points in a 22 try riot.

The come back starts here. Seriously though, the Rugby World Cup is as bad as it's Cricket equivalent for pointless games that the minnows have no chance of winning. In fact it is worse, at least Ireland have beaten England and Pakistan in recent years and the Netherlands have come close. The likes of Japan, Georgia, Romania, Russia and Namibia are never going to beat anyone.

Barcelona V Burgess Hill ~

True, but I think the smaller nations are improving by playing the bigger sides. Argentina and USA to name just two who have improved greatly over the last few years.
Besides what are the alternatives ? Sorry you small nations are too crap to play in the world cup ?
