Stretch Posted December 2, 2014 Share If he is out we will miss his ability to break the line..but we certainly won't miss his rush defence...which seems to be more and more often nowdays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shebeen Posted December 2, 2014 Share BTW, at current form I back England to win group A, followed by Australia. So we have a good chance of meeting Aus in the quarters, followed by the All Blacks in the semis. This could possibly (definitely) mean that it will be a southern vs northern final. At the moment, I would recon an Ireland vs New Zealand final. I just don't see us there in the finals. Easy group, but tough road to the finals.If we go with 'form/ratings' as such - with winners/runners up in order.

dev null Posted December 2, 2014 Share It seems then the playoffs will be lopsided, just like the last world cup. With the top half being very tough to get through. NZ don't have a good world cup record, and could easily falter against Ireland in that setup. Here is the interesting bit though: say Ireland end up first in their group, and France second, then it will be NZ against France in the quarters. Not sure the Kiwis are looking forward to that one, given their WC record against France. This draw seems to favour England the most though, also being the hosts. Anybody for a conspiracy theory?

Anybody for a conspiracy theory?do you blame them?they're giving wales home games for the pool, except their head to head being at twickers.also there's no chance of wales playing their 1/4 at millenium and as both options from their pool are at twickers.

On the other hand, they might just implode like Brazil at home and under pressure to perform. I get the idea that after the WC we will all be sick of hearing Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.

We probably would only have 2 or 3 players in a Super Rugby combined team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
