So, I know not a lot on here are egg chasers but we have another chance at #sportingjongoism over the next month or so.

Not sure who the favourites are but I suspect that New Zealand will be, here we go…

Team Tournament odds
New Zealand 11/8
South Africa 4/1
England 9/2
Ireland 9/1
Wales 10/1
Australia 14/1
France 33/1
Argentina 50/1
Scotland 66/1
Japan 150/1

As the competition is in Japan most matches start early morning (GMT), probably better suited for @PhilippineSaint to watch.

So, who are you cheering on??

I may be in the better time zone but due to a fucking idiot in the office in KL they will not pay the 100 odd dollars it cost to get our subscription to the channel upgraded so us offshore workers can watch it.

Meh.

Now, it WAS incredible when Beckham scored the penalty to beat Argentina there in 2002, then came straight over to me & my mate in amongst the Argie fans and gave it large in front of our old Dubai Saints Flag.
That was a once in a lifetime moment.
