2011 RWB New Zealand

A bit surprised that there's not been any banter so far... anyone taking it in?

I'm the first to admit I'm not a massive fan of Rugby, but it is a world cup...and I love watching the sport, it just takes a back seat to many other things on the tele usually.

Namibia just had the fcuk kicked out of them by Samoa, Canada v Tonga about to kick off, Scotland v Georgia is a the early morning special/nightcap.

Wales vs RSA was outstanding, as was Scotland vs Romania.

Currently, Canada up 10-0 at the 36' mark.

I just watched the Canada game and even though I don't know much ( if anything)about rugby but it was very entertaining and I was pumped Canada won. Was thAt their first game?

Great result for Canada. I thought they were in tough to even win one game although Tonga was their best chance at that. Canada played a much better style than they usually do and I was impressed with how they played. Definitely will not win vs NZ or France but maybe against Japan...although Japan looked great in their defeat vs NZ.

Great to see Canada get a positive result out of 1 of their group games. All the games I've taken in have been quality, aside from Namibia getting their arses handed to them by Samoa. The exposure for this tournament is sub par in our neck of the woods in comparison to other nations involved, regardless it's great to watch an international tournament, especially when Canada is involved for once! I know Johnny Wilkinson is STILL playing, but I doubt he can pull off what he did back in '03 for England again...

I was shocked to find this was the 3rd most popular sporting event behind the World Cup (soccer) and the Olympics. Crazy how popular it is everywhere but here.

Correct me if i'm wrong but dont the BC mens rugby finals out draw Bc mens soccer finals year in year out? Probably more to do with marketing and the body that governs them more than anything else though. BC soccer could learn a thing or 10 from the rugby guys.

Soccer has a TON it could learn from Rugby but culturally they are opposites so will never really happen. In its simplest form: one sport showers after games and shares a beer with the opposition; one sport sits on the sidelines in their shinpads and drinks from a cooler...and then possibly to a pub still in the shinpads
