really looking forward to this .. Wales off to a bad start .. Rob Howley, a long standing coach and Gatland ally has been sent home to face 'irregular betting activity charges' .. the tournament is wide open .. however I expect the usual suspects, New Zealand, South Africa, England and Australia to get to the semis .. if the draw allows that is
Is "irregular betting activity" where the punter wins?
Am going out for 3 weeks. Seeing the French game then travelling around to Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Hakone and some beach resort for a few days. Due to leave day after Semis but will stay on if we make the final.

Cannot wait as always wanted to go to Japan.
I hope you enjoy your trip. It's a fascinating place but try to get out of the cities if you can.

Japan is a fascinating place. Lovely serene people.
Didn't see a discussion for this so thought I'd start one.
Any thoughts, people going to be watching? I don't follow rugby beyond the five nations and world cups, so have no idea what's going on. I noticed Ireland are world no. 1 though I can't see them winning it. I've just got France in the company sweepstake, so they definitely won't be winning!

To be honest I think we'll be too tired (and emotional) to get outside really. Going to Japan is a life ambition, am so excited.
what is the point of having scrums anymore? the russians have had a few and the just chuck the ball to the back of their lot. you might as well start with a quick free kick.
I know nothing about rugby but Russia -40 points at EVENS before the game seemed a nice price.
They are starting to blow out of their arses. Japan will hammer them in the 2nd half.
if they are even half as fit as the commentators have been saying then they could really destroy the russians in the last 20 minutes. already getting the better of them towards the end of this half.
Was never a rugby fan until my son started playing aged 6, he's now 14 and we went to a few games at the last world cup. Love it now, a great game. Would absolutely love to be going to Japan always wanted to go there and will make sure I do one day. Son is gutted all the games are on during the day though. USA might do okay this tournament, it's the fastest growing sport over there and they have some players playing at a high level, unfortunately they have the hardest group so even being competitive will be a big step up for them, saw them get absolutely smashed at the last one by South Africa at the Olympic Stadium.

They won the gold medal the last time it was held, in Paris in 1924.

Fancy South Africa to turn them over.
