Who's going to win the World Cup?

[MrPrez]

Japan's whole game plan was basically made with teams like South Africa in mind.
Japan will struggle against teams like Australia and New Zealand and to an extent the Pacific Island teams - teams who can match them in terms of mobility around the park.

Of course, teams who can force their will could outmuscle them but if the likes of Ireland can't do that then...I really think they have a good chance of making the semis. Ireland have a monstrous pack that's comparable to South Africa's.

Not sure you've been watching South Africa's backline if you don't think its mobile. We've been bucking the traditional trend of picking big, less mobile backliners.

No they will not.... SA rugby is a mess. Not Australia mess, but a mess nonetheless.

 

[Burgey]

Fortunate not to finish in a draw, in which case England would have claimed a win

 

[StephenZA]

Never more happy to be so wrong.

I believed really hard and it didn’t work
