As ncurd said, I'm not really able to comprehend New Zealand not being a favorite.How do you conclude NZ are above everyone except france? We lost big time to Ireland without threatening to look like we were a chance of winning at any point. We won one lost one against a tired South African team. The year before we lost to Argentina and Australia. And we have pretty much not managed to deal with rush defence since 2017
It's like saying france doesn't have a chance of making a semifinal. They could lose 20 games in a row going into the World Cup and I'd still believe that they'd somehow go on a run.
