I've started a couple of rugby threads over the years for various competitions, but they never really got off the ground with the predominantly America (I'd guess) readership that this site has/had.
But still, the US are playing this year, and have beaten Russia this morning, so.... anyone watching?
It's being held in New Zealand, which means most of the matches are on at stupid o'clock, but it's still great fun to watch.... mostly. There have been a dozen matches so far, some close calls, some terrible defeats and brilliant victories, and one or two very stale matches.
