Nice welcome Even if the team is pretty mediocre (still better than some years ago) there's a constantly increasing number of people following rugby/different sports from football here, and it's definitely a good thing

Unfortunately the public TV will no longer broadcast the World Cup (Sky bought all the rights as usual), I'll try to watch it at Rojadirecta when possible

My picks..
Pool A)
New Zealand
France
Pool B)
Argentina
England (Scotland could bs them)
Pool C)
Australia
Ireland (Italy could BS them on a random day)
Pool D)
South Africa
Wales/Samoa (Honestly would not be suprized if Samoa upset Wales.. this is pretty much a home game for Samoa)
Q1) Australia vs Samoa
Q2) Arentina vs France
Q3) South Africa vs Ireland (Soz Ixi)
Q4) New Zealand vs England
Semi 1) Australia vs France
Semi 2) New Zealand vs South Africa
Final) New Zealand vs Australia
Winner) New Zealand..
Those semis will be HUGEEEEEEE

Our first match against Australia is going to be a massacre, the last time they won by 20 points We definitely need to do the miracle against Ireland

"Azzurro" is the official color of the kits (azure blue)
and Castrogiovanni is incredibly badass!

well, quite a nice opening ceremony... great use of video projection, though some parts i didnt really 'get'... and sorry, but i really could do without that haka crap. yeah i said it, deal with it im just not a fan.
but otherwise, good opening.

Poor Tonga it was literally destroyed yesterday, it seems to me that the All Blacks are stronger than ever this year
