[QUOTE="Wendigo7, post: 732821, member: 56602"] This might come across bitter but it really isn't, I just really don't want NZ to win it. Not because I don't admire them, I do, it's more I don't rate this crop. When I watch them against teams it does feel as though they are there for the taking an awful lot and just aren't very good. Not a punt, but similar to Australia it feels as though there's so much missing from there game and yet they are that insanely clinical it feels as though the clinical finishing is covering up some/alot of the cracks slowly appearing. It might be because I try to compare them to 05 and 07 and that's my barometer for them in which case I should just walk out now :(. Even 2011 I thought they were the best of a bad bunch and it might well be the same this time. There's no team that sticks out and says, we're nearly as good as any side in any previous era. I suppose if I wanted a team to do well it's Georgia. The work that's gone into them and the improvements they've made, to see them get a quarter final would be a victory for me and pressure the 6 Nations seriously. Head says that NZ will win it though. More than likely against England in the final. [/QUOTE]
