Title: Rugby World Cup kicks off! *possible spoilers*
Post by: Slide Panda on September 09, 2011, 12:50:00 PM
This weekend marks the start of the Rugby World Cup!

It's in New Zealand this year - so catching any matches live isn't really going to happen. But, NBC and Universal Sports will be replaying some matches at humane hours.
Schedule:

USA has a tough pool, but not as bad as poor Namibia.

Anyone else going to be watching or following the action?

Big shocker there the #1 team beat #12. it'll be something if Nambia makes it through the pool matches with a win. They are #20 and only play one team that's not in the top 10.

Hell yeah, I'm watching.  I might even be able to catch a few matches live, considering I've been too stressed to really sleep.

Well everything is going predictable so far. At least the Eagles gave Ireland more of a run for it than folks initially expected. Though the pounding the Italians took from the Wallabies was a bit more than anticipated.

Lucky me I found a local place that will record the over night matches and replay them. So I might actually get to watch more than a couple!
