Who Will Win? Rugby World Cup

[alexa]

So here's the first Rugby Poll, you get 5 points if you pick the winner, 3 points if they're in the final, and 2 if they make it to the semis. You can pick 2 ONLY.
Mog and I will make another poll later on when it's closer to the end, the person with the most points gets a pretty new sig 😛

Also can a moderator please change the poll so we can see who voted for who 🙁... otherwise post your 2 picks.

 

[mogwaid]

Should I make the sig? Sorry i was meant to make the poll but got distracted by stupid uni work. Oh and everyone list their favourite teams/players. So if you win, i can make the sig of that team/player.

 

[alexa]

Where's a mod when you need one? Can someone please change the poll, so we can see who voted for who? I've sent a PM to elmo, but MrP is away atm.
If not, can everyone please post and tell us the 2 you picked. Otherwise we won't know who won, and me and mog will just say we did 😛

There isn't the option to see who votes on a poll.

I voted for New Zealand, I only needed one vote.

😉

 

[mogwaid]

Hell yeah, Buffy Summers is right!

 

[Lyri]

ok, i voted for Ireland and New Zealand...had to vote for Ireland, and everyone else seems to think New Zealand are gonna win, so...

 

[alexa]

Ok so I'll try and figure out who's voted for who so far. Let me know

me: Australia & NZ
Mog: NZ & South Africa??
Buffy Summers: NZ & NZ 😛
Lyri: NZ & Ireland

 

[mogwaid]

You do know that Australia and new zealand cant both get into the final, only the semi's, because its very unlikely they will finish anywhere but the top of their groups? Thats really annoying. I think a Aust Vs New Zealand final would be so exciting to watch.

 

[alexa]

Heh opps, I don't pay close enough attention to notice stuff like that 😛

 

[mogwaid]

😛 well scotland could beat nz and then there could be an aussie/kiwi final. Im excited =) Im such a nerd, ive planned out all the ways this could go down.

 

[alexa]

lol that's ok, I'm a nerd (altho a cool one 😛) just not for Union.

 

[mogwaid]

are you following the league? Who are you backing to win?

 

[alexa]

Don't follow league much since the whole group sex thing, used to go for the bulldogs because my Grandad was a member. I follow Aussie rules, but Sydney is out of the finals 🙁

 

[mogwaid]

Im a bulldogs fan too, yeah footballers and their bloody scandals! I havent watched much AFL really, cept for when Sydney won the grand final. Basically you couldnt go anywhere in sydney without that in your face that year! But it was good. Maybe i'll check out next see, go to a few games if im around.

 

[ILLYRIAN]

It's fun to watch the league and footy players, especially when they're interviewed by surprise. Seen any red eyes ?

I didn't take part in the poll, I'm usually crap at them, but I'd have gone for the Aussie's or the All Blacks.

Didn't like the Scotland v New Zealand game, the name All Blues wouldn't be the same.

 

[mogwaid]

i was really surprised Scotland didnt even get a point on the board. Even Romania and Portugal managed.

 

[ILLYRIAN]

The Aussies and New Zealand knocked out !! what-ever next ?
At least I've got Bathurst in a few hours.

 

[alexa]

🙁 Very sucky.
Jeez I can't stand English sports teams 😛 Damn you and your sweet bloody charriot. I need to change my own rules so I people who picked quarter finalists get 1 point 😉

 

[mogwaid]

how? how? HOW?! I would have rather both Australia and New zealand got to the Semi's and we lost in that, then how we both lost in the bloody quarters!!

 

[Schillaci]

The World cup has sucked. Scotland should have beaten Argentina, we just didn't do enough against a team that didn't even play close to their best. Almost snatched it at the end too. I blame the Scotland coach, Frank Hadden, for fielding a 2nd team against the All blacks. If our big players had that experience of playing New Zealand it would have stood us in good stead against the Argies.

By the way, that's also the reason New Zealand lost to France. They didn't have one decent team to play all the way through, so when they met France they were underprepared for the challenge. As for England beating Australia... That's just another in a long list of crimes commited by England against Rugby. (Please, Uncle Lucy, don't let England win the world cup again)

I have lots of South African friends, so I'm hoping(and kinda expecting) that they win. Of the teams left I think they are the most exciting to watch, and are technically gifted without being boring with it the way England are(and France can sometimes be).
