Has anyone been watching?

I watched Australia thrash Japan by something like 60 points. It was quite funny actually.

I watched England beat USA too, though not as badly as the Aussie's did Japan.

I don't think England are going to win it again this time, Australia look way too strong.
 
I'm not usually a rugby fan, but I always keep up on the major tournaments.
I don't think England have a real chance this year, judging from how we played against USA, and especially since we're without our captain.
South Africa get my vote.
 
I've only really just started getting into rugby, I've been trying to catch more games on the TV but it seems coverage is limited.
 
I've decided to be boring here and go with the hot favourites New Zealand to win this tournament, 20 years after they last won it. I think the two other teams who could win are France and South Africa. But with France you never know which side will turn up, as they showed in losing their opening game to Argentina. They'll need to bounce back quickly, and they are well capable of playing fantastic, especially with being hosts. But again, it's all about their unpredictable nature.
 
France are a good, albeit tempremental side. They have the players to be good, and have proved that before. In the last World Cup, they were one of the favourites to win towards the end, I believe. However, they're never one of the first countries you think of when talking about rugby.
Last I heard, England were being beaten 10-0 by South Africa. =/
