Re: Rugby World Cup
England did good.
Tonga is proof why these minor nations should be in World Cup. In 99 they lost 101-10 to England, in 2003 they lost 91-7 to NZ and this World Cup they pushed South Africa till the last moment and had England sweating the first 60 minutes.
i think rugby is one of those sports where these new teams can make an impact.
as they say footbal is a game of gentlemen played by hooligans, and rugby is a game of hooligans played by gentlemen.
rugby has never been as politicised as cricket or football, and frankly that has been good for teh sport and fair to the new entrants
