[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 119597"] That's changing the favourite AFTER the tournament has started. What we were clearly talking about here is who [i][b]was[/b][/i] or [i][b]was not[/b][/i] favourite in the LEAD-UP to the tournament (ie BEFORE the tournament started). What you are doing here is like betting on your winning race -horse after the starter has let them go and they are running past the three-furlong post! If you are telling me that, for example, the All Blacks were favorites to win every tournament when laying bets immediately before the semi-finals, I'd have to agree with you in every case except 1991, where they were singularly unimpressive in the pool games. Beating Italy 31-21 in the Pool stage, then Canada 29-13 in the quarter-final hardly filled me with confidence! [/QUOTE]
