    It would be a major upset if New Zealand DIDN'T win it, but I'm going to risk my shekels on the theory that it will be a France Australia final.

    I think New Zealand will crack under the pressure yet again.

    South Africa for me.

    South Africa to win it on the strength of their massive men up front (and Brian Habana of course)

    The only way Ireland can win it is if BOD is fit and playing in every game. We are a poor team without him. It will be us, France or Australia. NZ are cracking already.

    interesting...most people seem to think France will win. With that in mind how great would it be if they lost to Argentina tonight. Start as you mean to go on and all that:D

    Personally I'd rather have to beat Argentina than have to beat France to get out of our group(without the uncertainty of bonus points and points difference), so I'm behind the French tonight.

    Wow, there seems to be a lot of support for les bleus in that poll. I see France coming second in the group and ending the tournament in a tight game against NZ.

    SA ftw

    There is no way S Africa are going to win the world Cup. The are a pretty average team who consistantly play crap away from home. They beat an absolutely brutal England (at home) a third string team who were racked with a virus, then proceeded to play well against the AB's (at home) their one good performance this year, but have shown nothing since. They have no backline and their forwards are not good enough to win it on their own, best value in the WC is to Lay them....

    ....IMO...:D

    Yep I'm going for France v Australia Final. France to win on home turf.

    Also of the opinion that NZ will waltz through the group stage and crack in Quarters or Semi against the Aussies!

    It would be something special if Ireland were to knock France out of the competition:D
    you're right though, Ireland are not good enough to top the group.

    They'll have to create a bit of history in that case-
    No side since the tournament's inception in 1987 has lost a game in the pool stages and still gone on to win the World Cup.

    What did I miss? Only 7 months ago when I left this country everyone was saying Ireland were the 2nd best team in the world, despite our 3rd place ranking... confused:
