Game breakdown 

Australia vs Ireland  
-white men cant jump (photo)
-was irish team wearing sunscreen during the game, “those stadium lights are quite powerful and bright”
-a Mick vs. Convict foot race priceless


NZ vs Japan

- I previously mentioned Italy vs Australia as being unwatchable but I gave a fews LoLs to go with it. This time im not. you only watched this game if your from NZ or know someone from the Japan team,  because NZ, their similar to Canada hockey fans, Canada could play Laos in a Hockey game and we would watch it till the very end plus the hours or replay highlights and TSN expert opinions. 


Wales vs Samoa

-Samoa's blue jerseys are amazing 
-Paul Williams Samoa 15? Wales didn't lend them a guy cause they were short did they.

Scotland vs Georgia

15-6 Scotland
Did somebody tell them lowest score wins?
"Subtitles please for Scottish player’s interview in 'English?'"

USA vs Russia
All the cold war references wont make it bearable
Petri the scrumhalf, 'the Brooklyn boy'
Russian national anthem is bad ass, reminds me of old James Bond movies
most likely USA motivational speech pregame "let's kick there ass like we did in WW2"

Canada vs Tonga
- amazing banter about facial friends
-you don't like rugby or Canada if you didn't stay up and watch this game

SA vs Fiji
-'Burger has a charge' is this rugby or McDonald's?
-Fiji dressing room has a healthy amount of bananas, oranges, apples and water
England vs Georgia

-how hard is it going to be to get the grass stains out of Englands white kit?
-England found the right tailor, their numbers are staying on this game.



Samoa vs Namibia
-Namibia's opponents average 49 points per game in 2011 RWC
-whatever happened to the show Lost? was the island they were on Samoa?

Argentina vs Romania
-Argentina is the only team at the world cup from South America
-where are the mythical romans?


Canada vs France
-a lot less beard comments
-so glad Canada is now wearing white shorts
-France, sick black+blue kit rivals their white+greys 



Highlights

-Fast draw try of the tournament Samoa 0:46 Kahn Fotuali'i

-Cian Healy Ireland prop Man of the Match
-James Pritchard maybe born in NSW but knows how a true Canadian utilizes hockey skills along the boards.
-Samoa #22 best mullet of tournament (picture)
-‘monkey see monkey do’ Canada/France opening tries
-JP Pietersen awesome defence

-Possible best name of the tournament Census Johnston Samoa

-Alesana Tuilagi beast mode vs Namibia



Mediumlights


-Learning a little bit about Georgia, its not the home of Coca-Cola, the Masters, or Atlanta Falcons, Braves or even the University of Georgia Bulldogs
-Just over 6500 species of fungi, including lichen-forming species, have been recorded from Georgia, but this number is far from complete. The true total number of fungal species occurring in Georgia, including species not yet recorded, is likely to be far higher, given the generally accepted estimate that only about 7% of all fungi worldwide have so far been discovered.

Lowlights


-Sonny Bill Williams on the wing really? and carrying the ball like loaf of bread (picture)
-Black Eyed Peas 'Tonights Gonna be a Good Night' song before every games kickoff
-Wales vs Samoa my pregame question, What team will have more tattoos?
-Is tape a renewable resource?
-Why dont referees or touch judges wear tight jerseys?
-The ongoing debate about the lack of kicking accuracy, its not the ball or the ‘magnitude’ of the event.  The posts are crooked.

How to Improve Rugby in the Future

this may not all be fact but im gonna take ‘creative license’
I'm a big fan when players appear into a game or a fight they have theme music.  Think about how awesome it was to hear Stone Cold Steve Austin's glass shattering or 'if you smell what the rock is cooking'.  That being said I don't know how it can be done yet, in baseball its when either a pitcher comes from the bull pen or batter comes to the plate, but I am really liking the nice touch the NZers are doing whenever a team gets points they play a famous artist from their country.  I first noticed it after the Canada game when BTOs , Ain't Seen Nothing Yet, started to play. Australia had ACDCs Its a Long Way to the Top.  
wanting to hear what ‘songs/artists' from what country you want to hear.
