We have been riveted by the 2011 Rugby World Cup. The crunching tackles. Brutal scrums. The Haka. The Tongans beating France. The finesse, discipline and intelligence of the All Blacks. The Welsh, who very nearly went through to the final, until their captain was sent off early in the game. A deeply disappointing England, who just couldn't find its stride, and a shell-shocked Australian team who wound up strangled by the All Blacks in the semi-final. Absolutely brilliant. We have loved every minute.
