The Rugby World Cup

I am not looking forward to the Rugby World Cup here in New Zealand, because, in the first round, there will be so many games which will be one-sided.  The first game is between the All Blacks and Tonga on September 9th. The All Blacks should win by fifty points. I think the prices to go to matches are a rip-off. Going to see Russia play Australia will cost forty-nine dollars for a seat. Which is criminal because Australia will win by a hundred points. I think that when it comes to the knock-out stage it will become more interesting. I would like to see Scotland, Ireland and Wales do better than just the quarter finals. However, if it goes to plan, Scotland will play the All Blacks in the quarter finals. The All Blacks should win because Scotland have never beaten them. To get my interest there needs to be a surprise in the pool stages such as Scotland winning their pool which could mean that they play France in the quarter finals. I am expecting South Africa, Australia, New Zealand or France to win the World Cup.
