Big Points in First Rugby World Cup Games
Here it is sports fans, what youve been hanging out for the first round of results from the Rugby World Cup.
After five games there are four teams leading after getting a bonus point for creaming their first round opposition.
Ireland, France, South Africa & New Zealand are all at the top of their pools with 5 points each with Australia having had a pretty ordinary 24-16 game against Argentina sits in solitary splendour at second place with 4 points.
The lucky winners of the hardest game first draw were Romania in pool A who went down to Ireland 17-45. Fiji from pool B whos poor discipline on the field allowed France to punt them about in a 61-18 pounding. From pool C South Africa showed Uruguay the door with the biggest points difference thrashing them 72-6, but then Uruguay has never really been noted as a great rugby nation. And for pool D, in a wop sided game the Kiwis pulled an Italian job with a 70-7 runaway over the Italians.
Coming up, game 10 will be an opportunity for one of the 20 teams to achieve a goal when USA and Japan go head to head, both with the intention of getting their first win a World Cup.

Usa have a rugby team ? You kidding me… Nice try, and very sympathetic too.
They’ve been moving into rugby for a while now and one thing they have had to learn is a lot of humility because they get hammered. Full points for sticking it out though.
The last couple of years have seen an improvement and once they hire a few more kiwi’s they’ll be a bit more noticable. Can’tr see it kicking baseball out for top slot this week though.
