The Rugby World Cup kicked of yesterday in France, with the Host nation beaten by a weaker (on paper) Argentine. England play later today against USA and Ireland play against Namibia tomorrow. Anyone following it?
BTW the Tonga team could not afford to go so to raise funds one of the players legally changed his name to Paddypower (a betting company) who has sponsored the team.
