[QUOTE="Every Time Ref, post: 742391, member: 71826"] I agree, the frustration is we could be so much better but we're going in as "in with a chance" rather than a real force. I think I'd have us as third equal favourites, personally? So hard to put a number on these things but New Zealand and South Africa clearly top two, the three of us in the group of death plus Ireland all in with a reasonable shout depending how our group goes - bear in mind the winner of our group only has to beat 1 of NZ and SA to win. World Cups come down to one-off games under immense pressure, any number of teams have just clicked at the right time to win a one-off game over the years. [/QUOTE]
