Kicks off in about 6 hours. Anyone else give a damn? Times are pretty crap down here but we'll be watching, Canada has Ireland for their first game in about 26 hours, they will be big underdogs. Wallabies don't play for several more days, they are in the group of death. All Blacks have to be the favourites but don't have a great record in Northern Hemisphere world cups....should be great!

Yeah, I'm watching when I can. 5 hours behind isn't too bad and NBC is carrying 9 matches including the semi finals and finals. I agree that the All Blacks are odds-on favourites to take the Cup. I'm pulling for Scotland. Wales and Ireland are dark horses if that can truly be applied here. The US also stands a fighting chance of getting out of their group.

Here's a good article on what it is like to play for the All Blacks.

To top it off it's a stunner over the Springboks, 34 - 32.

everybody is happy about the Japan win! Great game! Canada was better than the score looked in their game. Usa losing to Samoa has to put a big dent in their hopes
