Any rugby union fans out there?

I thought I'd start this thread since the world cup is set to begin in just over a week in England (+ Cardiff).

Also--shamelessly--I'm trying to hock a pair of tickets to Canada v Ireland on 19 September in Cardiff in case any UK CPers see this or anyone else happens to be in the neighbourhood or wants to come over.

Not sure about Canada's chances since we've got half of the Six Nations in our group (IRL, FRA, ITA). Hopefully we can defeat Romania in our final match of the tourney at least.

The All Blacks have to be the favourite to repeat but otherwise I think it could be tough to call between England, Ireland, South Africa and Australia. France could surprise too although I think Wales will struggle following some key injuries.

Will anyone else be watching?
