So, the Rugby World Cup is underway. New Zealand won their (easy) opener and Scotland have won theirs too! The big game today is England vs Argentina. England, not quite at full strength, should win. With captain Tindall and Johnny at the helm, I'm looking forward to a great game of rugby. However, even if it's not a great game, the win in the opening match is what's important. England has some very exciting players mostly in position and at least one, Armitage, out of position on the wing. But Armitage is a great handler and runner of the ball, so he should be fine! The absence of crazy horse Moody is a shame, but not a worry. I believe that there is now enough depth to have real competition for places and that Jonno has carefully picked his 30 men to try and win back the Web Ellis Trophy on 23rd October.
This game will be tight. Both teams are strong up front and that's where the battle will be won. England should take their chances to run the ball when they come, because they won't get too many.
Today's score prediction? England win 15 - 7.
