54 Days to go.
No clear favourites, I think this will be the most open RWC ever.
Hahaha, New Zealand are always favourites - and we know what happens when New Zealand are favourites! I'll be happy with someone else taking that honour, if you don't mind!
I think England will be very strong - conditions in Sept-Oct NZ will suit them well.
I was a bit concerned by how well the Queensland Reds played in the Super 15. Aussie players coming into form just at the right time.
I watched some highlights of the last few international games and the All Blacks must surely be licking their lips for the tournament to start.
I can't see any team in international rugby close to them at the moment.
The only thing they have to worry about is that "World Cup Chokers" label they have - the same thing that plagues the South African cricket team in world cup tournaments.

as for ireland, we flop at every world cup. it's what we do... at least no one is expecting anything now we've been beaten 4 times in a row during the warm up watches quite easily. 😞
