With less than 24 hours to go until New Zealand's opening match with Tonga, the excitement around RWC 2011 is growing, both in New Zealand and online.

Throughout the tournament we will be providing a regular Fan Forum which will include some of your comments from the official Rugby World Cup Twitter account, @rugbyworldcup, and #rwc2011.

Following Scotland's arrival yesterday, all 20 teams are now in New Zealand and the tournament is set to begin. Many of you have been joining the conversation and here are some of your thoughts...
