Which team do you now think will win the World Cup Rugby?

Question

We're a week in.

A week ago I would have said France were big contenders. I have had to change that opinion!

After the first week who do you now think will take the cup?

Answer 1

I'm backing my home country NZ but the Boks and the Wallie will be a threat.

I just hope NZ don't let things get to their head AGAIN. They were talking about 'going easy' against Portugal and 'respecting' them. But I don't see how a team can feel respected if they know you are just toying with them and don't even have the decency to play hard. This IMO is a little big headed of the All Blacks and their managment. Yes we will probably beat Portugal by a large gap, but there is no reason to go in to a game to thinking of how easy it will be and lower your standards.

Answer 2

Three months ago I said New Zealand

At the beginning of the RWC, I said New Zealand

And now, I say, NEW ZEALAND

Answer 3

I think The Springbox have got a really good chance of winning the World Cup. If not them then i think it will be The All Blacks.

Answer 4

The All Blacks, Wallabies and Springboks are all looking good at the moment.  Boks just had another convincing win against England. To be fair, the competition has not been that high class yet for some teams and some have only played 1 game which is no indication. I'd be shocked even this early if it were any other than these three sides who win the cup.

Answer 5

australia

Answer 6

it is hard to say but i think South Africa and NewZeland will be in the final because these are the strongest teams in the World, but i think South Africa will win the world cup because it looks like the have the desire to win it this year.

Answer 7

I think it's going to be a battle between South Africa, The All Blacks and Australia.

Answer 8

New Zealand of cause!! lol, love ta see them in a final with France repeat of 1987 and same result!!

GO da AB'S....

Answer 9

Its between

South Africa(If they win tonight)

and

New Zealand.

Answer 10

Most likely New Zealand.

They are the biggest strike force at the present and that hard to say as I'm Australian.

Answer 11

i though france had an excellent chance too

my second choice was south africa

we will see how they do tonight against england

Answer 12

So far the Springboks cuz that's my team but we'll see how everything goes after their game with the Englishmen.

Answer 13

The AB's should do it this year.  They have the class, experience, brains & the depth to succeed.  I too think our coaching & management is somewhat a "dream team".  Graham Henry is prepared not only for the games but the pressure.  I don't even think this squad is comparable to  the last few All Blacks RWC teams.  The road will not be an easy one but they will give it their all and as long as they can stay focussed I think they will go all the way.

Answer 14

the cinderela team will win it...and that is the pumas (argentina) . they will be in the finalsmost likely at least.

Answer 15

AUSTRALIA!!! ALL D WAYY

Answer 16

i will say it will be like the tri nations in the final, we are aware of johnny wilkonsons corner kicks and unless he does the "p***y" drop kicks they wont beat us. south africa are strong due to them training in thinner air so they can run hard. and france are too " cocky" ( no pun intended ) lol. as for australia... well who knows... hopefully they get beaten to a 1/4 final spot... i will say the 1/4s will be NZ, SA, ARGENTINA, AUSTRALIA. so its not easy to pick.. i wouldnt put money on a team.... all though i hope that NZ wins... we should do if we can avoid injuries... :)

Answer 17

New ZEALAND is a force TO BE RECKONED WITH. Theyre just in a league of their own. Daniel Carter alone scored more point against the world number 2 in their last few meetings.

All the stars are alligned... and this year.... its a BLACK OUT.
