Rugby World Cup 2011

By now I hope most of you have at least heard about the Rugby World Cup that kicked off in Auckland, New Zealand. Besides some embarrasing public transport SNAFUs, the actual opening ceremony went extremely well.

So far the tournament has been thrilling with teams like Japan, coached by ex-All Black John Kirwan, giving France a real fright and even having a chance to win the match and cause a major upset.
Yesterday Wales should have been the winners of their clash with South Africa but they only just missed out.

Fans are certainly in for a treat this year with all teams putting up a splendid level of tenacity.
