[QUOTE="Leinster Fan, post: 953506, member: 76349"] Exactly. Wales absolutely have the ability to win the world cup, but they're really unlikely to do so playing some kind of snazzy attacking rugby. But history shows us that to win a world cup, the ability to grind out tight ugly wins is far more important than the amount of points you can rack up in the warmup. World cup knockout games are much more likely to be the former than the latter, obviously there are exceptions but no one has ever won a RWC without one tense arm wrestle, even the All Blacks last time had the semi against SA. As for Murray/Sexton, I think it's both fair to say that they are the best halfback pairing in the world, while also recognising that they both have form issues that they need to sort out. [/QUOTE]
