Since this bad boy starts in 7 hours, I thought it best to start a thread about it.

For giggles, I thought I would also see what the possible headlines would be for the Wallabys if Australia bows out at different points.

Don't Get out of Pool Stage
Wallabies Collapse in Japan - Coach fired into Sun and Entire Squad Jailed on Return (though this might be more of a New Zealand Headline)

If we Lose a Pool Game
Wallabies Wobble Out of Pool Stage with All Blacks Set to Pounce

Win All Our Pool Games
Wallabies Through To Finals - Don't Get You Hopes Up

Lose in 1/4 Finals
Wallabies Show Why Supporting them is Fast Train to Suicide Watch

Win in 1/4 Finals
Wallabies Through To Semis- Don't Get You Hopes Up

Lose in Semis
Wanting Wallabies Spanked Like Schoolboys

Win in Semis
Wallabies Through To Final - Don't Get You Hopes Up

Lose Final
Wanting Wallabies Found Wandering Weakly

Win Final
Wallabies Win World Cup - Don't Get You Hopes Up and Coach Fired into Sun in Celebration Gone Wrong.

Unofficial LD for 2 seconds - It was a glorious moment!

Nice opening ceremony and Japan got over a Russian team, and their own pretty severe nerves, to clock up a good win to get the tournament underway.

Big 1st half scare for Australia from Fiji, but the Wallabies ran in 4 tries in the second half.

Fiji played some great Rugby, and may be a threat to Wales if Australia beat the Welsh.

I fully expect USA side to go winless. This is not yet our game. Now if this were Rugby 7s then I would have a little more as the USA seems to better at the type of Rugby.

Possibly, but with your new Pro comp and the Olympic support for 7s, give it 4-8 years and the Eagles will be a good team.

France v Argentina, that was a a better, all one way, then the other, and a cracking finish.

3 games in and all great so far.

South Africa showed how to cow New Zealand, before NZ showed how to counter-punch the Springboks tactics. NZ are looking good, and the SA backline needs a bit of work.

 >:D
In turn they tested each Clan namesake
In trial against the ice hellion's mettle.
Each chased the ice hellion, hunting it down.
All faild to match the predator's speed and grace.
Khan Cage smiled and said. "And that is how we shall be."
