Question

Do you think Australia can beat the Blacks on the Rugby Union World Cup ?

Answer 1

No. Australia showed their weaknesses against Ierland and in comparison to the All Black they should not be playing on the same field let alone compete with them in a world cup.If they will beat Nz they've got a long, long way to go. First by replacing Gregan, Gitue is better at centre and growing George Smith's Hair back,it looks like he's lost his power.

Answer 2

The All Blacks will not be beaten easily. Many people believe that the All Blacks have peak to early, but i beg to differ. How can a team that get's chanced every week peak to early. To answer your question, No the Wallabies will not beat the All Black's

Answer 3

No way!!!!

Answer 4

whil ebeing a wallabies fan i would like to think so, given their current form it will be unlikely...

Answer 5

Dont think so, the All Blacks always seem to choke when it comes to the World Cup,so everyone does have a chance to beat them.

Answer 6

Australia have been awful on this European tour.  They haven't got a solid line up week to week and have missed George Gregan.  Are Australia playing NZ in the pool games?  If Australia meet NZ in the quarter finals they will be beaten comprehensively.  In all seriousness, a team that got beat by a Welsh club team, got belted by the Italian forwards (and nearly got beat) have little or no chance of taking out the best performing rugby team in the world.

Answer 7

Since you are an Australian supporter you need to stay optimistic, but they won't beat them this year or next year. Try the same question in 10 years.

Answer 8

The blacks would obliterate Australia.

Answer 9

the aussies should win if..... the allblacks plane crashes on the way in or if they play 3am french time whilst allblacks r still sleeping im sure they could do it.... honestly man!

Answer 10

Interesting question, there are a few things to consider.

1. Australia seem to be testing players in certain positions.  In the spring/autumn test series they have shown players cannot play in certain positions.

2. New Zealand seem to fall short of their postential in World Cups.  They won the first RWC, but have failed to win any others.  Some will say they were poisoned in South Africa in 1999, but there is no evidence of this.

3. What stage of the tournament Australia meets New Zealand (Al Blacks).  If it is in a semi final, NZ may have peaked too early, and are starting to fade.

For Australia to beat New Zealand the three things above need to happen.

1. Australia finds depth for their squad, especially in key areas.

2 & 3. New Zealand peaks too early and the team is starting to fade for the semi finals.
