Just saw this thread whilst watching the start of the WC match France Argentina.
Winner - My heart says NZ - though the weakness of the group they are in (no disrepect to our scottish brethen) may prove their ultimate undoing.
Pool A, B and D are all quite tricky. My head says South Africa the most likely team to undo the All Blacks. Winner HEART and lots of it.
TRYYYYY Argentina. woohoo....
Surprise - Argentina to make Semi's. Ireland need to fire consistently and can see them missing out on something like tries scored with Argentina
pipping them.
England - if they avoid Australia in the quarter final then back them to make the final.
Otherwise the Aussies to knock them out in a bloody encounter.
I hope Wales have a good World Cup.... Haere Ra

They're either brilliant or rubbish - there really is no inbetween with the French. |

Take the oppurtunity to back France on betfair now at 7.8
After they pump the Argies in a couple of hours, the price will only go down.
Prophetic. Well I think that's how you spell it. |

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.
NEW ZEALAND TO WIN!!! |

So, after 20 minutes NZ are going along at 2 points a minute against Italy.
Bet the Portugese are loving watching this.
And Scotland.

Right this could come back and bite me in the arse but i placed some bets on betfair last night as they were offering way better odds than any other site.
This is the key line- As long as NZ dont win i will make a nice profit
If australia win then i will do very nicely out of it, if england win i will do excellently, if wales win i can retire and france and SA are a tidy small little profit.
Fingers crossed for All Blacks to F up in the semis then i can relax for final!

England can only get better, I wouldn't rule them out against SA just yet. Changes will be made, and maybe SA will have a slow start too.
For all Englands averageness today, gotta big up the USA who did really well for an amateur side. I hope they come out of this group with a few points.
