The Rugby World Cup is currently in the progress and we are in the last week of the league stages. Today, I am watching the match between Scotland and England and so far it has been very good. Scotland lead England 6-0 after about 30 minutes. So are you following this world cup? If so, who are your favorites to win this? Cheers! Ram

I've watched a few matches in the group stage. Not too many, because I was out of town and didn't have a good Internet connection. There is a tv channel broadcasting the Rugby World Cup, but that channel is only available to those who subscribe to a certain cable company. We have three main cable companies, and each has a few sport channels that are only available to their clients. My national team, Romania, was one of the poorest teams of the tournament, but, in a country with less than 3000 rugby players, I think it's a great achievement to have qualified for this event. Our team was present to all of the Rugby World Cup editions that took place until now. I've seen today's matches, and I think New Zeeland will win the semifinal against Australia. I haven't seen France or Wales in their previous matches, so I can't say which side has the best chances of going to the final. Whoever will be there for the final act, I think we should enjoy the high-quality rugby we are able to witness right now.

At least your team figured in the world cup. My team India did not even feature in it. But we are currently forming a team and hopefully will compete in one of the future World Cups. Cheers! Ram

I don't know how Asian teams can qualify for the Rugby World Cup... The only Asian rugby team I can think of is Japan... I don't consider Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, as Asian, but that depends on the association they are affiliated to...

No, you are right. Fiji, Tonga and Samoa are not Asian countries, they come under the Australasia bracket. Actually I have not really heard of a Asian Rugby federation. Cheers! Ram
