What do you think about the Rugby world Cup currenlty in France?

Question

Did you expect England and South Africa to be in the finals?
What did you think of the game against Fiji and Wales and Fiji against South Africa if you watched it?
Do you see improvements from the previous world cup for all the teams in general.
What team impressed you?

Answer 1

I expected S. Africa to be in the final, but I honestly thought they would be playing Newzealand.
At one point I didn't think England would make it through the group stages, they were playing so badly at the beginning.
Fiji played well, and it's a shame they met S. Africa so early.
I missed the Fiji/Wales game. It wasn't on TV in Switzerland as far as I know.
England played much better in the last world cup, and they were favorites from the start.
This world cup has been more exciting because there have been so man games which have gone against expectation. e.g. Argentina beat France in the group stages, France beat Newzealand, England beat Australia....and France.

The one sure thing which has come out of this tournament is that Argentina should be included in the tri nations with S. Africa, Australia and Newzealand.

Answer 2

Well honestly I think that it isnt that very well. With some mis-match between professionals and amateurs, a referres fault which may have cause a team a cup (NZL) and that my fav teams are out. But go South Africa.
