As some of you may know the rugby world cup has just begun. Any thoughts on whos gonna win. BTW USA plays ireland 9/11. Maybe the fact that the game is on 9/11 will give them a little more motivation. The game will be played at 18:00 local time. Does anyone know wut that translates to in EST.
Auckland, NZ is +12. The Eastern time zone (we're in EDT right now, not EST) is -4. So I'm pretty sure the game will be played at 2 AM ET. The match will be shown at 1 PM ET on NBC.
As for who's going to win ... even though they seem to struggle in the latter rounds of the World Cup, I'd always bet on the All Blacks, especially at home. The atmosphere during the haka before their match with Tonga was amazing.
Thx, i'll be watching that and the eagles rams game tomorrow then. I agree, its hard to say the all blacks won't win. watching them do the haka would scare the shit out of me if i was the other team.Quote:

i agree, i like how they looked against ireland, the D was good, rugby is definitely improving in the USQuote:
