Rugby World Cup 2007 - Official Thread

[DAC]

This will be the first post in a small series: Top Tryscorer: The winner of this is only and I mean only going to come from the KeeWee Squad. New Zealand have to play Romania in their group which will be a veritable cricket score and then they have to play the lowly Portugese - which I fully expect to be a new world record score. Joe Rockococo speaks for himself at 7/1 - the big man will defiantely be in the running for this, the only thing that worries me slightly is that he may be rested for one of the games against the minnows. I Toeava is a massive 100/1 - I'm thinking Henry will play this underconfident forward in both the games against the minnows and since the AB's certainly won't have to spin the ball against these teams he certainly is in with a good shout of getting at least a brace in each of the games. N Evans - More great value at 50/1 - He played very well against the Saffas last week and again I think he'll feature a lot in the group games but be relegated to a bench spot come the QF's and onwards BUT he's a great player in the making and could force his way into the first XV.

Re: My Rugby World Cup Tips.... Rico Gear @ 9/1 might be worth a go, he's likely to play against the minnows and is one of thos guys who always seems to end up on the end of all the moves and get over the line. Tbh though someone somewhere will score 6 tries in a game or somehting against the minnows and take the title, could be anyone from the big teams really. On a side issue, what is going on with the Dragons takeover DAC, was hoping you'd have a stronger squad next season (sorry for stealing Gough!).
