Pool A: Ireland, Scotland, Japan, Russia, Samoa
Pool B: New Zealand, South Africa, Italy, Namibia, Canada
Pool C: England, France, Argentina, USA, Tonga
Pool D: Australia, Wales, Georgia, Fiji, Uruguay


I think we see South Africa lose to New Zealand in pool play and then beat them in the finals.

I would love to get 2 wins, but I think Tonga is the only one we beat.

And that's not a given. We are becoming a power in 7's but severely lacking in 15's.

Here is schedule of what will be shown on NBCSN/NBC.

https://www.nbcsports.com/rugby/rugby-world-cup

I get NBCSN as part of my PlayStation Vue subscription and am pretty happy with this slate of matches. Only a few missing I'd really want to see (such as Scotland/Ireland) but no way I'm shelling out $200 for their "gold" package that gets them all.

Anyone think NZ gets taken down? I'm pulling for them, but they didn't look so hot in the rugby championship this year.

Japan vs Russia was a good match to start the WC. Noticed NBCSN is airing a history of Rugby this afternoon and should be interesting .

I wasn't expecting Ireland to dominate Scotland today.

This is amazing. Canon is going to make a killing selling this tech to sports networks. Basically would allow them to create any arbitrary 3d camera angle for a replay.

US vs England Thursday 5:45 am. Set the DVR or watch live early. Not on gold but regular NBCSN.

Just finished watching Italy v Canada. The six nations sides and the sides down under plus SA simply play a superior brand of rugby than the rest of the world.

France discussion in spoiler tags below

US played good rugby for 65 minutes with a few missed opportunities. Clear lack of depth killed up in the end.

Stay up late and watch NZ v Italy at 11:30PM on NBCSN live. Great chance to watch competitive match and enjoy all around skills displayed by the All Blacks.

I'll tune in for the All Black haka but probably won't make it past midnight.

I somehow timed having a newborn with the world cup so I will be able to catch this one between feedings.

QF matches start tonight! Really bummed NZ/Ireland is NBCSN Gold only. I might try to get up early tomorrow to see if I can find a stream from an alternate source. England / Australia available on vanilla NBCSN.

Can't see Japan's awesome run lasting any further, but I'm sure the atmosphere Sunday will be amazing.

NBCSN rat dogs keep changing which matches are free and which are Gold causing me great angst. They should keep original schedules. Excellent play in the RWC this year.

After pool play and Japan reaching the quarters, I have to return to my original assessment of Rugby dominance and brand of play residing with the Six Nations and down under.

NZ v England tonight! Replay will also be on NBC midday tomorrow, hopefully it picks up a nice audience.

NZs talent level is absurd. How good are you when Ben Smith, Ryan Crotty, and Rieko Ioane can't crack your match day 23?
