england vs scotland rugby 2011
England are the strongest unit and the favourite to win the group, but the race for the 2nd place is wide open as Scotland are not in best of the forms and Argentina might be a team who can surprise them. We predict Engalnd as the winners of the Groupwhile Scotland coming as the runnerup.

Scotland started playing rugby Back in 1871 and they have been part of the Cups since very long. Although their performces in the RWC blow par, theri best the any of the World CUps they have been part of is the 4th placed finish in the 1991. Since than they do chok at the big moment which is kind of bad for them.
They are placed in the group B with the likes of England, Argentina, Georgia and Romani. This group is kind of where they might struggle but on paper they should just sealed through to round. What we expect is a runner up place for them behind 2003 Champions England. Only Argentina is the team which might trouble them but apart from that its easy we have to say.
England are team playing on top of their game for the last couple of years and they are one of the favourites to go all the way in the World Cup 2011 and it will be interesting to see how this years event goes about. England won the World Cup in 2003 and since than Rugby in England has been a very famous sport after Football, every year they play in the 6 nations and other big matches.
England has finished runnerups in two occasions, in 1991 and again in 2007 when they lost against South Africa in the Final of the Rugby World Cup. England played two Warmup matches against Wales recently and they were no overly convincing to say the least, as at home they won it with a very narrow margin and got defeated against Wales in Cardiff in convincing fashion which leaves quite a few question marks over their ability to perform at the highest level.
