Name your winner and why? NZ, would you bet against them?
Pick me a surprise and why? South Africa, there is a spark there.
How well or badly will England do and why? Good team together at last but too late.

Name your winner and why? Obvious choice is NZ but maybe Australia (NZ always have trouble with them)
Pick me a surprise and why? Wales to do better than England (I'm assuming their pack sorts themselves out!!)
How well or badly will England do and why? Quarter-finals probably!!

Australia to win. They just will.
England to reach the semis - dependent on the draw obviously.

Name your winner and why? Oh, I'd go for a team wearing a very dark kit indeed, I think. Because they're miles better than anyone else
Pick me a surprise and why? There will be no surprise greater than the one I got yesterday when I discovered that Portugal are in it.
How well or badly will England do and why? They're lucky they're not in one of the 'three decent teams' groups with Argentina or Italy otherwise they might not even reach the QF. Beaten by SA in the group then smeared all over Marseille by the Aussies.

France to win.
Although the All Blacks are strong they did not perform that well in what was a poor tri-nations competition. They are always the team under the most pressure and and at some point it will get to them.
France are strong and their recent performances have been excellent. They are the only contender not to have won a World Cup. Their desire to win their first on home soil could well give the edge they need to succeed.
Potential surprise.
England will pick their biggest nastiest pack and try to to bully their way thru' the cup. It's a style that is dull to watch but is extremely effective in high pressure matches. If Wilkinson stays fit and finds form England will be extremely hard to beat.

Name your winner and why? South Africa, big & nasty in defence, pace to burn out wide.
Pick me a surprise and why? NZ to bottle it again, probably in the semi's.
How well or badly will England do and why? England will surprise many. It won't be pretty but our pack is huge and can compete with anyone on the day. It up the jumper time and Wilkinson to kick us to victory. We may reach the final...

Someone post the draw up please
I believe the winner of the Eng/SA group match gets the second in the Aust/Wales group in the QF and vice versa
is that right?
Aussies are poor from what I've seen all summer...Wales might be an interesting bet to win that group...

I haven't really been keeping an eye on the rugby of late but I am lead to believe that The Aussies are excellent value at 10/1 so I'll have a bash at that. I think I'll have a wee tipple on that.
Suprise side dunno whose capable of causing an upset would Ireland really be that big a suprise if they win?
As for England well due to the euphoria of the last Rugby WC I hope they fall at the first hurdle but thats unlikely, I think England should at least get to the semis.
