All Right guys, this is it; the wait is over New Zealand-Tonga tonight. This thread is to discuss the rugby world cup only, not a comparison between football and rugby full of conflicting biased opinions. Now I am very busy with classes but I will attempt to update this page as much as possible, suggestions are more than welcome as well; and if someone want to hold the thread , we can just lock this one I have no problems with that.
Anyway good luck to all the ones who are staying awake tonight to watch the game. Here is a schedule. Sorry I could not find one with American hours. Just remenber it is 16hours later in New zealand than it is on the east coast. So every game played after 4pm over there will correspond to the same day as our. Anyway i will remind everyone when games take place. Don t hesitate to PM me if you need a live link or else.
