I think they might just do it this year.[/quote]

Jonny Wilkinson is still class but the way Dan Carter has been laying it down lately he’d probably be on the all time list of best fly half in pole position[/quote]

Im just messing with him mate. I know DC is the GOAT, but Jonny is my hero, so il fight his corner even if it is a losing battle![/quote]

Thank god DC isn’t as fragile as little Jonny.
[/quote]

Jonny is the MAN, and you know it! Tell me, how many world cups has DC won…? (this will be my arguement for about 2 months, until it is no longer valid)[/quote]

O.K, I actually have no answer for this…except to feebly ask in return, who is the worlds top points scorer in union?
[/quote]

Jonny Wilkinson!

(up to date as of 29th July 2011)

With little over a month till it all kicks off, what are your predictions? Who will shock and surprise? Who will under-perform? Who will be the player of the tournament?

Maybe I’m byist, but if Ireland can get their form together and play consistently well I can see them doing some damage, though i still find it hard to look past the All Blacks…

Thoughts…[/quote]

i just need to say: ā€˜biased’. that’s all[/quote]

you seriously felt the need to post that? how about you actually contribute something to the thread, like your opinion on the RWC?

We have already dealt with my single incorrect spelling in this whole thread earlier on.

But seriously, thanks for pointing it out. Great contribution, keep it up.

Obviously you dont like people pointing out how stupid you are?

The game between the Wallabies and Springboks (Sat) is going to be very interesting - not sure if the Wallabies can oversome their loss against NZ, playing away from home + SA will be looking to make amends from their recent matches; it’s going to be very entertaining.

Not sure if anyone has posted the 2011 WC pools:

A:
New Zealand
Tonga
France
Japan
Canada

B:
Scotland
Romania
Argentina
England
Georgia

C:
Australia
Italy
Ireland
USA
Russia

D:
Fiji
Namibia
South Africa
Wales
Samoa

QF1:
WIN Pool C VS RU Pool D
QF2:
WIN Pool B VS RU Pool A
QF3:
WIN Pool D VS RU Pool C
QF4:
WIN Pool A VS RU Pool B

Very early predictions -
I’m guessing alot of upsets are possibly on the cards

A:
W - NZ
RU - Expecting France, but you never know what could happen.

B:
W - Eng
RU - Hard to pick, Argentina or Scotland (want to see Scotland get through though)

C:
W - Aus (I’m biased)
RU - Again Ireland or Italy (want to see Ireland get through)

D:
W - SA (expected, but uncertain)
RU - Wales (but Samoa or Fiji could upset)

QF1:
Australia VS Wales
QF2:
England VS France
QF3:
South Africa VS Ireland
QF4:
New Zealand VS Scotland

Pretty awesome matchups

Well thanks for that captain obvious.

Will you inform us next that the sun will rise tomorrow?

Of course you couldn’t have put it better yourself because you possess all the wit and sophistication of something that slid out of the back end of a cat.

I was going to call you a cunt, like the others, but then realised you lack both the depth and warmth.

What…you don’t how to use Google? :slight_smile:

DC is 29 and made his test debut in 2003 where he scored 20 points against Wales.

Also, you should pattern your persona more toward making fun of people’s physical weaknesses and muscular failings.
This poor/stupid schtick makes you sound more like a troll at an Ivy league college, not really fitting for a site like T-Nation.

So how comes he is only a few points ahead of Jonny, given AB’s dominance and JW’s years and years of missed tests?

You hit the nail on the head Mr Henson. Having my spelling errors pointed out on here keeps me awake at night.

I do fully admit it was a shitty spelling though. If I was pedantic or a cunt I would pick people up on their spellings also.

You’re not intelligent enough to notice other peoples spelling mistakes.

ahem …people’s.

Now i’m no way qualified to comment on this, but i’m sure people is correct… not people’s?!

But then again, this is the internet. I can barely be bothered to do capitals.
