Question

New Zealand is the best rugby selection? And SECOND?

Answer 1

The All Blacks third team could probably win the World Cup but they do not seem to perform as they should when it comes to the big time.

Answer 2

Sorry not sure I understand your question.

However I do think the All Blacks preventing some of their players from competing in the super14s this season may actually have a negative effect on the All Blacks at the world cup. The players on the training camp will not be as match fit as they will need to be.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Argentina or Ireland, if O'Driscoll manages to stay fit.

Answer 5

They always are, but when it comes to the world cup, they often forget the game at home....Anyway, second could be anybody from Australia, South Africa, France and ...Argentina (the seriously Next big one)

Answer 6

If you're talking about rugby league then the Aussies are better than the kiwis.

Answer 7

I'm an All Blacks fan, but I think South Africa is going to bring their "A" Game to the cup and shock a few teams....

Answer 8

nz is the best rugby union team and the second most probs has to be aussie.

Answer 9

Ireland.

Mark my words.... Ireland Vs New Zealand in the final.

Answer 10

The all blacks reserve team!

Answer 11

New zealand are the most powerful team in rugby at moment with a huge squad of world class players to choose from.Ireland,France and Australia though will give them a very good match unlike England.

Answer 12

If you are talking about the next world cup i have to say France...just because they play so much better at home.
