Hi everyone!
I was just wondering, since the Rugby World Cup is going on, any one else following it? Who do you think is gonna win? Any favorites?

    I'm considered odd by a lot of folks here in America. Although I have participated in many sports in my younger days, I no longer follow any sporting events other than the Olympics. That includes ML Baseball, American Pro Football, NHL, NBA, College Football, Pro Golf, etc.

    Did anyone see how the Japanese were slaugthered by the All Blacks today?
    By the way does anyone know a site were you can follow the match live? Preferably watching but if it's only sound that's okay to. It's bugging me that when I'm at work I have to go check the newspaper sites everyone 2minutes to know how the matches are evolveing and that's bumming me out. On weekends I just go down to the pub. But it would be nice to be able to put on a radio or tv broadcast/livestream so I can follow the match while I work

I have to get up in the wee hours of the morning to watch matches. I'll be up 2:00Am tomorrow morning to cheer on the Springboks. At least today's slaughtering of the poor Japanese was not as bad as the world record they set way back in 1995 it was something like 147-15

    I think the Irish played a pretty good match today. I didn't expect the australians to go down like that.
    Thanks for the tips on the live coverage guys I'll check it out!

U would like to think the hosting country would show all games for the people who are unable to get to the games.
