imageIreland at the World Championships came to a pretty good group for us. No one in Ireland, probably can not imagine a situation, which along with Australia, Ireland did not advance to the next game, to the knockout stages.

Group C looks like this:

Australia – Very good team although recently many injuries among players and a few games against the losers' All Blacks’ w Tri Nation Cup (tournament between Australia, New Zealand and South Africa), favorite to win the group,

Ireland – Our team, quite strong, but sometimes have bad days. The candidate to leave the group with Australia.

Italy – The team sometimes underestimated, This year, even with the French won the Six Nations Tournament, playing very physically, very finely. Can win and get out of the group. Hopefully not at the expense of Ireland.

Russia – Little is known about this team. It is known definitely, that will present a power rugby. In addition to the weakest team in the USA grrupie C.

USA – Even I did not know, that the U.S. has its own rugby team. But it can not be with them so bad, because qualified for the championship.
