Question

Who will score the most tries in the rugby world cup?

Answer 1

Habana - but then I'm South African.

Answer 2

looking at these pools i recon new zealand

howlett maybe

Answer 3

Individually I think it will be the SA player Habana, I watched the Boks game yesterday and he was fantastic.

Robinson and co on Friday are going to have major problems anyway, and he is going to torture the English backs.

As a team, NZ. I know historically they have choked at the world cup in the past, but this year they seem focussed and operating as a team superbly.

Answer 4

The team with the most tries will probably be New Zealand.  The individuals will probably be Bryan Haban (SA) or Doug Howlett (NZ).

Spent the whole weekend watching rugby and am thoroughly enjoying it - I am an ex-pat South African in Shanghai though, so between the late night rugby and the upcoming 20/20 Cricket world cup I am going to be exhausted by the end of the competition!

Answer 5

I would go with doug Howlet, he's already scored twice in his first game.

Answer 6

well we all know it will be a yank

Answer 7

New Zealand

Answer 8

Habana hands down ! Unfortunately hes not an Aussie ! Than Larkham maybe.

Answer 9

Probably Bryan Habana.  Bokkie same hear goin to watch the rugby and the 20/20 but lucky for me Im staying in SA so I get to watch the 20/20 peacefully.

Answer 10

Pretty hard to answer for an individual as the best teams will rest their best players during the early stages of the tournament.  I think the All Blacks will score the most tries as a team.  They are in the weakest pool and always play an attacking oriented game.  Also after watching the game v Italy they have clearly worked on their ball handling ubder pressure and that will bust teams like Portugal and Romania easily.  It also seems that Scotland will rest players for their game v the AB's so that will increase AB's chances of winning and scoring more tries.

From an individual perspective I think players in the running to score most tries are Bryan Habana, Sitiveni Sivivatu, Doug Howlett, Joe Rokocoko.  Again I look at the AB's pool and clearly it is the easiest and should lead to lots of tries for the wingers.  Also the AB's will go all the way and win the cup therefore giving players the opportunity to play in all available matches.  I think the Springboks will also do well and Habana is a freak winger with genuine pace and strength.  It is also possible that due to him being so far ahead of the other Springbok wingers he will get maximum game time whereas the AB's wingers will definately get rested and rotated.  Therefore if I had to nominate one player it would be Habana.

My answers then are team = All Blacks, individual = Brian Habana.
