Question

What is the best rugby team in the world?

Answer 1

The All Blacks have the best past performance, but lets examine that.

In the recent 7's tournament N Z came from behind to edge Fiji in total points, with little Samoa {population 175,000} not far behind.

N Z actively recruits Pacific Islanders away from their home islands,  where-as Samoa & Fiji were all native born sons.

Go 7's, much more exciting!

Answer 2

The best team in the world are the New Zealand All Blacks. The World Cup is coming soon and the mighty All Blacks will win. The Springboks look good to. The mighty All Blacks have just won the Sevens title to.  We are the youngest and the strongest. Kia Kaha!

Answer 3

The All Blacks.  Not only do they have the best stats of any international side they are the most successful sports team of all time and boast an 80% success rate which no other sports team has achieved.

Please note this refers to an international win percentage and not a single game win margin!

Answer 4

The Springboks internationally

The KZN Sharks nationally

Go South Africa

Answer 5

The All Blacks

Answer 6

Chek Republic

Answer 7

New Zealand All Blacks.

BTW kisback03, other teams in other sports have equally impressive records, USA mens basketball for one. Their record - Olympics 114-5, FIBA World Championships 105-27 (that's just over 85%). But yeah, the All Blacks are hard to beat.

Answer 8

england until a different team win the world cup

Answer 9

What kind of question is that?  The All Blacks obviously.

Answer 10

The current world cup champs are England, but I would say it will be between The Springboks (South Afrika) & the All Blacks that will take over the reign from the English this year with the world cup.  

Allthough the All Blacks are a very strong & physical team, the Boks are the only only team that can match up to them.

My heart lies with the Springboks & the Tri-Nations will be a taste tester for the world cup a bit later this year.

Answer 11

The Cal Bears..........

Answer 12

All Blacks (New Zealand) They are the reigning champions of Tri-nations which consists of Australia, South Africa and New Zealand.

Answer 13

AB's all the way

Answer 14

All Blacks, hate to say it but true. someday France will actually practice and play as a team and perhaps pose a threat

Answer 15

munster clearly

Answer 16

munster and leinster are the best in europe and the world

Answer 17

the mighty all blacks

Answer 18

New Zealand All Blacks

Answer 19

Most people would say the New Zealand "ALL BLACKS" are probably undisputedly the best team in the world at the moment . I wouldn't right off the South African "SPRINGBOKS" just yet though . They have what it takes to beat the "ALL BLACKS" but can be a "hot / cold" team at times but should not be underestimated .

Answer 20

All Blacks are no 1

Answer 21

ACT Brumbies

Just because they are my team.

With the World Cup coming up in France, NZ and South Africa are looking strong.  SA teams were in the Super 14 final with the Bulls beating the Sharks.

Answer 22

All Blacks until it comes to world time,

CCCCCCCChoking time.

Answer 23

new zealand-all blacks

Answer 24

The AB's are the best - there is little competition and what of it there is -- will lose.

Kia Kaha AB's!

Answer 25

New Zealand Allblacks

Answer 26

Saddleworth Rangers Amateur Rugby League Football Club are without a doubt the greatest rugby team of either code!

Answer 27

Back Bay Sharks, Newport Beach, CA

Answer 28

The best team in the world at any given time is the one on top of the IRB world rankings. At the moment, this is NZ & I'll have to admit they are a long way ahead of the opposition. Then again, they were in a similar position heading into the last World Cup in 2003 (and 99, 95, 91 lol)

World Champions at the moment are England, but in reality they are a pile of sh1te!!!

As far as World Cups are concerned, Australia is the only team to have won it twice (NZ, Sth Africa & England have won it once each).

Last time NZ won was 20 years ago!!!! CCCHOKERS!!! lol nice one Glen F!!!

Answer 29

all blacks

Answer 30

I think generally you'ld have to go with the ABs. It does seem though that the BOKS are peeking at the right time. will we see a revenge of 95 Finals? Lets hope so....lol

Answer 31

Ok the general consensus is the All Blacks and yes being a kiwi I back them too BUT those South Africans are coming onto the world stage now and will give Graham Henry and the boys a bit of a run for their money.

Go the AB's!!!
