  1. I didn't know anyone was planning to steal it


  2. Definitely not France... they cannot take it FROM there can they?

  3. Australia, which boasts the best backline in the world today.

  4. THE ALL BLACKS.

    This AB team is locked and loaded and ready to unleash on any team that is in their way as they play themselves into the title of world champions for 2007.

    The AB coaches have made this the most dedicated preparation of any team to play in a rugby world cup and have made no attempt to hide the fact that to this team the world cup means everything.  

    Only two teams have any possible chance to beat the All Blacks in France and that is their Tri-Nations partners Australia and South Africa.  I do however think those chances are slim at best.  

    Australia have a backline that has strength and experience throughout but I don't think their forwards can match the AB's at scrumtime and I think the relentless pressure of the AB's at breakdowns will wear the Aussie forwards down.  

    South Africa on the other hand have the forwards to match NZ at set piece and even threaten AB dominance at breakdown through Schalk Burger and Juan Smith however I don't think the Springbok inside backs are good enough to really test the AB inside back defence and I think with Dan Carter the AB's have a points scoring machine that the Springboks can't match.

    My prediction is for the All Blacks to win every game they play at this World Cup and if any team gets within 10 points of them I for one will be surprised.  They just have too many strengths, they are representing the greatest ever rugby nation, and their sole focus for the last 12 months has been the world cup.  I think this last point is where they have an advantage over previous AB teams that have failed at either the semi final or final stage of the tournament.

    GO THE ALL BLACKS

  5. the all blacks which are ranked #1 in the world.

  6. The competition is great and there are great competitors. I hope SA takes it.

  7. Well, great starts by the All Blacks, the Wallabies, the Springboks and the Argentines but it's still early days.

    We haven't seen all the teams play yet.
