[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 429418, member: 20605"] Careful there, because the argument can also be made (even if erroneously) that Tri Nations must be easier because New Zealand have won it 11 times in 15 attempts, but have only won the RWC once in 6 attempts. The point with the RWC is that you can get knocked out in one match. You don't even have to be consistent, as shown by South Africa in 1995. They played absolute crap in the pool and knock-out stages, but still managed to claw their way into the final and win it. Similar with England in 2007, they made the final after some less than convincing efforts earlier. To win the Tri-Nations, you have to play home [B]and[/B] away and although you can recover from a dropped game, consistency is the key. [/QUOTE]
