    I remember watching Namibia play in past RWC and it was like the Generals playing the Globe Trotters.

    Haha I wish I was watching more of these games! Glad more of the next round is televised more readily so I don't have to find pirate streams online.

    Man trying to find those are the worse!! Never know what link you're going to get and then you're stuck with all these popups...too much hassle, just show the game!

    VPNs are my friend to watch games right now. A little disappointed by the NZ - Namibia game though.
    England - Wales should be fun to watch. Hoping for the Welsh to win.

    England is out! Japan may still qualify. This is just the first round! Who will be watching the US against South Africa?

    I'm going to take an early lunch and hopefully catch the second half. I'm thinking we'll be down by 30+ but you never know.

    You never know. They lost to Japan and looked fine after but not amazing. I think the US can stay within 30 by the end of the game.

    Yea, that was a garbage 2nd half. Glad I was too busy at work to waste my time at the bar. At least this weekend's games (Aus v. Wales / Fra v. Ire) should be fun to watch!

    I did not expect the US to win but woah! Very excited about these two games! I would love to see Wales win but it is going to be a tough one. I will be rooting for France for the other one.

    After pool play, standings are pretty tight - still anyone's guess as to who walks away with the LIF win.

    As for the next round, there are going to be some great games! France always plays NZ tough, Ireland is all banged up facing a dangerous Argentina side, and the other two games are no joke either! Going to have to rush home and get that stream loaded on Saturday for the NZ/FRA game, and probably have the laptop going off to the side on football Sunday!

    I was wondering about that. Thanks for the update!
    To say that I am excited about France playing the All Blacks is an understatement. They play them pretty well if they don't play them in the Final.

    Allez les Bleus!!!

    That loss to Ireland though...

    Thanks for the update! Definitely some surprises so far which of course shouldn't be a surprise I suppose. You just never know what's going to happen which keeps it exciting. Who saw England crashing so hard?

    Inw
    I wouldn't say England crashed but the fact that they were in the same division as Australia and Wales was no gift for the host of this World Cup. I think in most other groups, they would have been through.
    Lots of soul searching for England now...

    Multiple drop goals and a hat trick from a NZ player got quite a few of you 2 points apiece. 3 categories left (OT games? NZ in Final? Champion?) to score, and things may very well come down to the tiebreaker!

    Damn. I didn't guess correctly! Hope it doesn't come back to get me. When is the final game? I'm gonna have to try and stream it.

    After those new points, who are the current leaders?
