Rugby World Cup winners

Who will it be?

Can't see further than NZ, I reckon their 2nd string could probably go close as well.

 

[REDLAND]

I agree NZ look short favourites, France will bloody win it though !!!

If all their games were in Marseille I'd agree but they're not so they won't, imo

 

[Dr Q]

I think NZ will win, but hoping they don't. Too much arrogance and expectation from them, will be good to see them choke!
Rather France win it, keep it in the N Hemisphere.

 

[dougdeep]

It wont be England. Or Scotland, Wales or Ireland.

 

[Braders]

Gwarn The A N Others

 

[captainmorganrum]

I voted WALES - but I don't believe it!
:wally:

 

[Gwylan]

Two people voted for Wales.
Much as I'd like to believe, I can't see it.

NZ for me.

 

[Icy Gull]

Anyone on here actually going to any games? I reckon I will once the excitement builds and if I can afford or find tix for the latter stage games. Another bonus of spending so much time in France

I'm going to Wales v Australia.

If I could a get a ticket for a later game, I'd be off like a shot.

 

[Dave the OAP]

I think people write England off too quickly.

personally I thing Saffies will be very close as will the all blacks and the french.

I take the Azzuri to surprise a few teams as they have improved massively.

Went for South Africa

We have no back line. FACT.

 

[Icy Gull]

We have no back line. FACT.

Not quite, we have one but it has zero flair at the top level. Half backs that will just rely on the boot and let the forwards try and impose themselves and then we get hit on the breakdown is how I reckon we'll fail.

 

[Simster]

Sorry just to clarify for you Icy, we are in fact NOT going to be trotting out onto the pitch with only 8 players.

So we can't use that excuse when we don't even qualify from our group I suppose??

 

[Simster]

Indeed. On the plus side, we have a piss easy group. Good job we're not in France's group of death...

 

[Stumpy Tim]

New Zealand to win, but both South Africa & Australia have a shot. France - not a chance IMO. I think Argentina will spring a few surprises too.
