So the Rugby World Cup has started, and the first match produced an upset, not only in the tournament, but to my predictions too! Argentina have beaten France, the hosts, 17-12. So now the group that I thought was pretty much a foregone conclusion is now wide open. The Ireland v. France match, which I had thought would only decide who wins and is runner-up in the group, could be absolutely essential to France to progress in the competition at all!
