    Oooooh! I love a bit of rugger!
    Seriously looking forward to this. Especially after the recent, and quite frankly, simply marvellous, Six Nations tournament.

    Uruguay's first game is against Wales. Good luck with that one lads!

    Argentina's first match is against the mighty New Zealand All Blacks.
    I predict utter carnage. It will be a very humbling experience for the Argentines.

    from that pool, nz and argentina will qualify for the next round.

    now the group of england is a bit more difficult, no?
    with australia and wales....

    i predict that england will be out after the 1st round.
    and playing at home....embarrassing.

    Paulie, who won the recent Six Nations tournament?
    Who came second?
    What was the result of Wales v. England?
    England v. Italia?
    England v. La France?

    Is that what you are basing your prediction?

    Please explain.

    WHO WON?????
    IRELAND, as always, of course.

    tha fact that england defeated wales in the 6n means nothing, it is a complete different tournament, most of the teams were testing new players and stuff during the 6N and now in the TRC.
    and england always choke in the world cup, mostly playing at home.
    and australia is playing great now.

    i like england, most of all because of lancaster who seems to be a great chap.
    but my prediction, and i never wrong is: england out after the 1st round.

    It's the little voices in his head, as usual!

    Good luck Teros
    Argentina needs another Pichot, a great scrum half and a great captain

    Haha!
    Yes, you foolish child. I know Ireland won. And who came second? England.
    I asked you that but you declined to answer.
    A good performance by England.

    Argentina don't have a realistic chance of winning.
    You like England? You fuckin' worship England!
    Sad little window-licker.
    Are you moving to Sangatt soon?

    and who the fuck said that argentina have “a realistic chance of winning”, you dumbasshole??????

    of course england has a lot of things which are admirable, their biggest problem is the huge quantity of imbeciles, racists, assholes and good for nothing who live there.
    and their anachronic 4th class colonies.
    and their politicians.
    and their press.
    and their weather.
    and msot of their landscapes.
    not to mention their food....YUK

    Food… .http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/restaurants/10793325/Worlds-Best-Restaurants-2014-the-top-50-in-full.html

    Where is Argyland, not even in this list?

    Landscapes.. When you lived in Peckham Paul what do you expect? The Lakes, the Cotswolds, most of Scotchland, the Dales, etc etc. You are talking uninformed rubbish as usual. In Villa 31 your view is luverly.

    We love our weather, it can be dismal sometimes but we dont have to rely on air conditioning with power cuts like you loosers.

    Free press here, some of it rubbish, but unlike yours its free.

    We have politicians, mostly good, but certainly good enough to repeatedly see off your 5th class idiots. Like William Hagues non encounter with Gollum who is afraid of Falkland Island MLAs.

    We have no colonies, they disappeared in the 1960s.

    You are out of date, uninformed and deliberately being an idiota as usual. Go away and play with your surfboard in that sea of shit that you visit.

    As for our population, we have a quota of idiots but we are not brainwashed from birth like you. The Pumas will be made welcome because thats what we are like…

    but dear capyain pelotudo, it seems you are confusing england with scotland.
    you dont know too much about geography, no???????

    they are 2 completely different countries.
    of course most of scotland is beautiful and with great people.

    but we are talking about england here.
    GOT IT?????????????

    of course england has a lot of things which are admirable
    Enough said.

    2 completely different countries
    yet joined at the hip for 300 years,

    Shared the same island for 500,000 years
    but not as Scots and English ,

    Amazing what a line in the sand can do to relatives and relations.
    Still, you love em both...

    Sport; not politics or raptured spleens.
    If Argentina is the better (clean-playing) team; odds unlikely; but then if they are, so be it. I prefer the game to armchair tantrums, but that's old-fashioned of course, so why not do away with the hypocrisy of referees and Rules.
