France Vs Argentina in a few minutes - Argentina have beaten France in four of their last five meetings, but France are at home and are one of the best teams in the world right now. This could be closer than many think.

And sure enough, France are playing badly, and Argentina are taking everything they're giving them. 17-9 to Argentina at half time.

France are playing by far the best rugby in the world at the moment. With the home advantage they should finally get past the semis. But of course, this is the World Cup so the best team in the lead-up never wins it.
England are still a decent outside bet. Sure, the side that won 4 years ago is all but gone but they still have the skill to surprise people. I'll stick my neck out and say the World Cup will be won by either England, France, Australia or the All-Blacks. Really sticking my neck out there!!!

The US will only get better in Rugby. About 10 years ago, Argentina got destroyed by England. Now they're beating France in their own country.

For once I'm supporting the Italian team.
As long as they don't win, they'll be humble and fun to cheer for.

I think they might make it out of their group ahead of Wales, but since Wales are playing two of their games at home, one of them against Australia, it could be tight.

Just realised now I got the wrong group when I was talking about Italy - it's Scotland in theirs, and even though Italy are being pounded right now, they did beat Scotland at Murrayfield last time they met.

Ouch... 76-14 is hardly a good start.
Let's hope the psychological backlash isn't too big, otherwise it'll be another "what are we doing here" experience.

With that being said, I can see us struggling to get our bonus point against the USA.
