The main reason for it was the fact that rugby is still very new for me so I have very little to say - and still am totally lost in some discussions here! Anyway, with the World Cup going on, I have renewed my interest in rugby and have watched quite a few matches so far (and downloading those that were not on tv). I'm afraid you'll probably see me here more often :P Back on topic, my home nation (Brazil) is not on the WC so I'm cheering for Ireland, my favorite International team - the first contact I ever had with rugby was thanks to a bunch of drunken Irish guys in a pub in Rio de Janeiro. They were watching Munster in the Heineken Cup and I was amazed with their passion for it. My 2nd team in the competition would be the Wallabies. I watched a documentary about their WC win in 1999 and they also became a favorite of mine - after Ireland, of course. (That drop goal vs South Africa is bloody amazing!!)
