[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 730470, member: 45598"] I'm going to do something a wee bit different here, follow suit if you wish. Teams capable of winning the RWC IMO are NZ, SA, ENG, AUS, IRE. (No particular order, sorry Wales) Matching these teams up I see the likely results as this NZ vs: SA - 55% chance of winning Eng - 70% chance of winning Aus - 65% chance of winning Ire - 90% chance of winning SA vs: Eng - 75% chance of winning Aus - 50% chance of winning Ire - 50% chance of winning Eng vs: Aus - 65% chance of winning Ire - 45% chance of winning Aus vs Ire - 40% chance of winning I hope that makes sense! This is reads as NZ being obvious favourites. With SA next along with Ireland if they don't meet NZ. Australia and England will require a couple of upsets to win the World Cup along with, like every other side a bit of luck. If all goes well SA will take care of NZ for us and we can troll NZ posters to oblivion being when they bring up that we're not real world champs because we've never beaten them! Disclaimer: "Duuude, you said Aus and Wales will get out of their pool, how are England in with a chance?" I don't think a team will get through that group unbeaten and I see Wales as more likely to deny England a BP than Aus to them air Eng to Aus. If, however, England get through, they're hosts and are capable of beating any of those sides apart from the Saffas whereas Wales would be underdogs against all of those sides! [/QUOTE]
