Rugby world cup France 2007 rating!!!!?

Question

1: Please rate world cup 2007 on scale 0 - 10 according to expectation fullfilled regarding level of rugby?

2: How does it rate against previous tournaments 0 -10?

Answer 1

2 and 1. The refereeing standard has killed this tournament and it is not just one game but the majority of them,pool matches included. The inconsistencies across hemispheres are ridiculous

Answer 2

10 all the way, I did not expect much from the French , after all it is not soccer, but you know what they have really put a lot of heart into this tournament. It has been memorable all round. Plus they had Chabal to enthrall us.

Answer 3

8. i expected NZ and Australia to play better than they did. but didn't expect Tonga, Fiji, England to play as well as they did.

But it has made the 2007 tournament one of the most exciting.  the Tonga-SA game was one of the best and the japan-Fiji game was good.

the Fiji SA game was good until the last 10min. Fiji scored some of the best tries i have ever seen.

Answer 4

8 and 8

Answer 5

about 6, most of the top level nations never really got going(most ended up eliminated) and there has been a high number of handling errors for the most part of this tournament and the lack of ability to capitalise on scoring oppurtunities and making some poor decisions at crucial times(this does not exclude the coaches or refs)

previous world cups I thought were better 9 for 03 and 8 for the rest, this tournament never really got to its expected level.

Answer 6

1. 9 because of the emergence of the island nations and the surprises

2. 10 because every stadium appears full, atmosphere is good

Answer 7

1. 8

2. 10 because of the surprises (sadly including my team not getting out of the Groups... boo hoo)

Answer 8

1. 6ish - 7 I thought the likes of wales, Ireland and scotland would make more of a showing and was dissapointed that they didnt - Australia and the ABs again a dissapointing performance.  The minnows performance Id rate a (9) stellar performances from those teams who were thought to just make up the numbers and have there a$$es kick (yes some did however over all performance great!) what are the IRB thinking by reducing the number of teams for 2011!!.  Overall rating 9 didnt expect to see the ABs come home so early (and without the cup) however due to the unexpected upsets provided it has opened the way for some exciting outcomes.

Special mention to the pumas who did well to get so far totally unexpected.

2. previous tournaments I'll have to give a 0, sorry.... I had a life back then..... lol.
