Rugby World Cup 2019

I am not much of a rugby follower, but come world cup time, then I like to indulge. I particularly like watching teams like Ssamoa, Fiji, Japan and Tonga.

My Favourite to win this year is South Africa as always.

I wonder if the Welsh Dragons could surprise.

And reach the finals.

That would be interesting, I love a good underdog challenge

Under dog with slim chance would be a team like Scotland, only team ranked above them they have never beaten is NZ. Ranked currently at 8 they in the same group as Ireland who are ranked 3 but have beaten Ireland more times.

I would hardly call them underdogs

 

More like over-hyped.

Every year I read about them as the dark horse or the team that could go all the way, only for their little world to come down crashing. 

Thinking a quarter final exist is on the cards for them this year...again.

I would say we were very lucky to win against them last world cup... And they are much better now.... But granted... We were pretty *** last world cup

Yes, we were *** and that win was scrappy, which makes it an even more bitter pill for them to swallow.

I don't think Wales has what it takes. The only teams that should be in the final is NZ, Eng and SA (because I'm biased, but also because we do pitch up for big games).
