Rugby World Cup 2011

The 2011 Rugby World Cup is taking place in New Zealand and will see the top rugby nations in the world compete for this prestigious prize! The question everyone is asking at the moment is who will win the Rugby World Cup? All this as we have a look at the Game Reviews from YouTube?

Hosts New Zealand face the tournament as short favourites with most betting companies seemingly giving them a huge bonus due to home advantage. I'm not so sure if it's going to be that clean cut, as with most Rugby World Cups, the Kiwis usually begin the tournament as favourites and end up as nearly men.
Reigning champions South Africa have been enduring a bad spell of form in the build-up to the World Cup and things don't seem to be getting any better for the Springboks, having failed to impress in their Tri-Nations games against Australia and New Zealand.

Australia were the winners of that pre-World Cup test and Rocky Elsom's men will be hoping that they can steal this trophy from right under the nose of their arch-rivals New Zealand. The Aussies have competed in all six Rugby World Cups and have won the tournament on two occasions. However, the men from down under haven't been without their hiccups on their road to the tournament, after suffering a humiliating 32-23 defeat to minnows Samoa recently. They will need much more consistency than that, if they are to lift the Webb Ellis Trophy this year.

The European countries taking part in the tournament will hope to break the grasp of dominance held by the southern hemisphere. Ireland and England have especially shown that they could knock these kingpins of their perch. Irish sides have been a dominant force in European club rugby over the past 8 years with Munster and Leinster showing the world that a title is well within their ability. England, have also flexed their rugby union muscles this year, having picked up the Six Nations title in 2011 with some epic performances on the journey to glory.

So who will win the 2011 Rugby World Cup? It seems that the Southern Hemisphere sides such as New Zealand, South Africa and Australia all have the best chance of winning the tournament with the Rugby World Cup odds market placing those three at the top of the pecking order.
Home advantage and depth/quality of the New Zealand squad suggests that it should be the Kiwis title but Ireland could be the dark horses for the title come the end of October.

Rugby World Cup 2011

The 2011 Rugby World Cup will be the game's biggest event of the year in New Zealand, well after the RWC 2011 Video Game. This will even offer a great slice of entertainment for the people of Hamilton. Hamilton is a city that is situated on the Waikato River of New Zealand, and no doubt the games of Waikato Stadium have not disappointed any rugby fans yet. People of Hamilton and Waikato are enthusiastic rugby fans and now they have the chance to enjoy the thrill of a World Cup. Waikato Stadium is considered as the New Zealand Rugby Union's top venue and its capacity will be increased for this exciting event.

 Rugby's increasing popularity has made the Rugby World Cup 2011 one of the world's biggest premier sporting events, and the friendly attitude and enthusiasm of the people of Waikato has made this area a rugby heaven. The typical warm welcome for the All Blacks is surely waiting when they play their best game against the top Asian qualifier. This amazing game will definitely satisfy each and every rugby fan of Waikato, however if it ends up unsuccessful for some of the fans then undoubtedly the Pool Play of Welsh against Samoa and Fiji will fill the excitement for them.

Whenever this event takes place many people from different parts of the globe come to enjoy it. In September and October of 2011 there will undoubtedly be a rush of foreigners but that will, of course, not daunt Waikato's audience. This audience will no doubt cheer the teams and will enjoy the purest rugby games ever played.
The fans of All Blacks, the top Asian qualifier, Welsh and Samoa and Fiji will not only increase the entertainment of this event but they will also spend nights in Hamilton and Wales. A detailed count would be 14 nights for All Blacks, three nights for the top Asian qualifiers, and two nights for Samoa and Fiji. With the enthusiastic wave of people there is no way these super teams will not be warmly welcomed.
Waikato Stadium will have room for 30,800 lucky rugby fans to enjoy this wonderful event, and without a shadow of doubt these games in the upgraded stadium will be even better than a popular game played in the same stadium before. Back in 1987 the fans called it the Rugby Park.

Such events only appear once in a blue moon and missing them would be regretful. The Rugby World Cup 2011 in New Zealand is the culmination of a 184 match qualifying process over 30 months and involving 80 nations around the world. Those final teams playing for the Cup should provide some unequaled rugby entertainment for fans.
