[QUOTE="Sonic Kiwi, post: 733397, member: 72820"] Unfortunately for me you're right Conrad and past world cups have proven that. The AB's front row are my major concern and if past RWC's are anything to go by and ball retention and defense relying primarily on penalty goals with relatively small score margins then I'd say no. The thing about RWC's is that it's not like other tournaments ie RC's, 6N's etc etc, it's about consistency over a grueling few weeks similar and akin to test series prior to professionalism but harder esp when it comes down to knockout games depending on a must wins scenario. If all countries had to field an A and B team against each-other then I'm fairly confident that NZ would probably come out on top but that's a hypothetical guess. Actually Conrad, I agree apart from when you said [B][I]easily[/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
