New Zealand are un-beatable at home and the team now is still young. So they will learn from the mistakes they made this time.

Answer 2

hey bro i shot my mouth off and said NZ to do back to back cups,this one 2007 and 2011,lets just say who ever brings everything to the nxt tournament and are willing to sacrifice the few for the many will win 2011.

I ve been saying it for years NZ ALLBLACKS,my ultimate final would be Australia and NewZealand,these teams dnt not hate eachother,they have the upmost respect for eacthother,you would not see a better game of skill in a final ever.We dnt think much of the SA ,they are the dirtiest team that we ever played,and trying to win a series there,well if you thought Barnes the English ref missed alot,their refs made sure that they always had the last say

Answer 3

Tonga...

Answer 4

1st  NZ - they can only win at home ;-)

2nd  AUS

3rd could be one of 3 or 4

Answer 5

This weekends World Cup Final might have some bearing on that outcome. However, as a Kiwi and All Black supporter who has seen them fail at the highest level too many times, I'd say

1.Australia

2.South Africa

3.New Zealand

Such a long way away though.

Answer 6

The winner of this World Cup will have a big impact on the 2011 World Cup.

There's doubt both NZ All Blacks and Australia will come out firing given their latest result, but if South Africa was to loose they too will be doing the same.

If South Africa was to win, they would be so fired up to retain it.

I don't know how you can rate NZ because of their home record. The record should only show 1 game and that Team was one of the best Team ever.

If England was to win, New Zealand in 2011 will be full of Englishmen, giving them the home advantage.

I do think Rugby in the Southern Hemisphere has learnt a lot from the Northern Hemisphere by the way they've played and from here on in, Super 14 is going to be one of the Fastest, Hardest, and Strongest Comp ever because of it and the World Cup 2007.

So, my pick would be depending on the team that would win the 2011 Super 14 is from, is the Country that is going to win and because the wide variety of depth of players in the Southern Hemisphere, the other two Countries in the Tri- Nation if it still exist, would be the Silver and Bronze.
