Pork pie land.
I think we have a chance of winning it. But, NZ should win it in their own country. One thing is for sure - it will be better viewing that the Football World Cup was.

A southern hemisphere team will win it. South Africa won't win it.

I think England will have a good team for the 2015 world cup, but can't see them winning it this year.

Personally I want New Zealand to get to the final (not win of course if they're playing England) because they are the most enjoyable team to watch.

New Zealand are chokers - there's an end to it.

South Africa or Australia will win it.

The i paper today are saying that Flood should be tried at inside centre. I think Flood and Tuilangi would make a devistating centre pairing for England.

can see england making the semi's if they top the group, where they will probably end up with australia whose number they seem to have at the minute

new zealand should win it, but they've choked every other time. the big question is how will they react to playing at home - will the support finally carry them over the line, or will they buckle again because there is even more pressure on them

Its weird England always seem to go into this in recent years in bad form then do really well in it, All blacks always go in as favs well alot of the time, and seem to flop.

I fancy South Africa, that said All Blacks are on home soil so they should go well, there.

Weather out there at the moment is evil though lol.

I wonder how the weather will affect England, given our first few games are here:

Thats some Greenhouse!!.

Just wonder if Home advantage and massisve pressure from locals could lead to All Blacks choking. If so then Springboks to take the trophy. I'm afraid I don't have as much faith in England as many on here, hopefully I will be proved wrong!!

England to lose against All Blacks in final,........ they are looking awesome,...... I am hearing that if the seedings go as planned we will face France and then Australia to get to the final,..... both teams we have beaten recently, so its all there for the taking given a fair wind.

Argentina were the top seeds in Group B, not England. So technically speaking England are 'seeded' to meet the All Blacks in the quarters.

The All Blacks have to win the whole thing, surely.
Ireland to get to the semis with a win over either the Aussies or Saffers along the way.

I think USA vs. Russia could be the best game of the tournament for the pointless rugby rivalry and the comedy ball dropping.

USA have Ngwenya of Biarritz who's a bit good and scored the best try of the last world cup

New Zealand comfortably. Only team that has improved since last world cup, everyone else seems to have gone backwards

Until we played Ireland in the 6 Nations I was cautiously optimistic but our performance in that game was so shit that I don't think we are going to do much more than make up the numbers once the going gets tough.

England got to the final of the last 2 world cups, winning 1 of them. You really think we have improved? Think we were very lucky to win the 6 nations and dont think we have any hope of winning it in New Zealand.
