Rugby World Cup 2011 Draw.

[Hall]

Doesn't appear to be a thread on this so...

Hosts New Zealand will open up against Tonga at Eden Park and defending champions South Africa begin their defence against Wales in Wellington.

Ah yes. Yet another opportunity to whoop the Welsh. If there's one team i love beating, it's Wales. Fiji could be a bogey team again...

 

[Sir Speedy]

I'm delighted we've been given the opportunity to manshame our favourite opposition, the World Champions, South Africa, in the very first round. World Cup final here we come.

good to see the IRB protecting the minnows by giving SA the maximum time to prepare for the quarter final.

Nice to see that ireland don't have two big games in a row (Australia & Italy???), plenty of chances for Kidney to rest key players unlike O'Sullivan last time around

 

[Stillknox]

A bit disapointed, New Zealand - France would have been a fantastic opening game.

Eh, you were kind of asking it for you after your opening post of you "whupping the Welsh".

:lol:

Fiji and Samoa are both bogey teams for Wales. I wish we didn't have South Africa again. How can you have the same opponent for 3 rwc's in a row?

Just blame it on the ELV's or global warming

I hope you get the plague. :cryy:

 

[dullonien]

I'll have no fears of Fiji or Samoa beating a team coached by Gatland. If we played them now, they wouldn't stand a chance, and this Welsh team will be much better by 2011. If we keep improving as we should, with some more hugely talented youngsters ready to step up, the first game v SA should be a cracker with both teams believing they can win.

It's certainly a tough group, injuries could be a problem considering the way both South Sea Island teams play!

Reality is a b!tch sometimes, isn't it...?

 

[Incredible Schalk]

I agree, the world will be watching this first game and it will be ****

 

[dundeesmiffy]

I was hoping to see Scotland v Georgia

It's good to see Tonga and Samoa aren't in the same group this time, not that the game isn't fun to watch, I'm just fed up of seeing it.
