en.wikipedia.org

Anyways, a few more sleeps and it RWC time, do you think we have what it takes this time?

Personally i think yes we do.

Other teams ill be following will be Ireland, Canada and Scotland.

They play some pretty good games (Canada to me has shown the most improvement).

586907 2007-09-01 13:19:00 We have gone into every world cup "with what it takes"

Except, we didn't have what it takes.

So, I wouldn't be surprised if we choke yet again.

France is the dark horse.

I predict a France Vs NZ final, with France taking the win.

Hail Froggies.

586908 2007-09-01 13:40:00 You could be right, i thought the last world cup we were too cocky and aussie knew it. And the guys like you said choked at the first sign of losing.

I think this team though, although wont be a walk in the park, will do it. They have everything, now its just up to their skills.

586912 2007-09-02 19:28:00 Its too close to call. On any given day, it could be the Boks, Kangaroos, or All Blacks. And yeah, France (home territory etc). Depends on the day

SWMBO reckons the Boks will take it, I'm being the die-hard loyalist and hope the All Blacks do

586913 2007-09-02 20:13:00 Yea, I dont think Aussie will be much of a threat, but I think SA will be the make or break 'em. rob_on_guitar (4196)

SWMBO = She Who ????

Btw - I think NZ will take the WC at a canter, and that's coming from a purebred Jaapie (although, after so many years here, I should be sitting on the fence) Biggest threats - Ozzie, France and Argentina (coz all the Argies play their rugby in France). SA can not compete against 15 excellent players with only 13 excellents and two *rseh*les.

She Who Must Be Obeyed, sarel.

If tax money is spent on the luxury that All Blacks is enjoying (which probably is), then I really need to give Cullen a 21-gun salute. -> www.nzherald.co.nz
