Che Guevara - never made the top flight in rugby mainly due to him only wanting to kick or pass to the extreme left

Theres more chance of usa pulling it off than ireland. Ok so you beat us in the six nations, GET OVGER YOU IT. I generally feel sorry for you as a nation, you will never win a big sporting event. England will go further in this world cup than the irish. I mean come on you lost to scotland.
-------------------------------------------------
a) No USA do not have a better chance of winning then Ireland. Ireland have a good first team and on their day could potentially beat anyone (except New Zealand (hoping the Aussies will pull a fast one for us :P)

b)These days we probably have a much better chance of winning a sporting tournament then england, cumon rubbish at soccer(football), rubbish at rugby, rubbish at cricket cumon Ireland got as far as ye in the world cup and no-one plays cricket in ireland, so yeah
and c)Our second string plus an unfit BOD and POC lost narrowly (playing half paced) to a Full strength Scot team, so that doesn't count. Remember its only a few months since the Croke Park Massacre of England.

Saying all that, All Blacks To win.
Would like the Aussies nd Ireland to do well also.

im not to sure about the "power" argument. its rugby for gods sake!!! go and use words like flair in some half-assed football forum. my prediction is for the ab to get their 2nd world cup, even allowing for the doubts over their mental fortitude, they should really win this time. i believe the boks will be their biggest danger. also would the english and irish boys on this tread stop squabbling like little school-girls. its embarrassing.

Stupidity personified - those who rely on power alone (England at present), may win games, but will never win the WC - rugby has changed since 03', why are people so thick as to not realise it.

England's pack will give England a chance of winning games. However, you play rugby with 15 players not 8 (unfortuanately)!

You need more than forwards, look at Italy in the 6 Nations. For years, they just played up front. They add a bit (just a bit) of back play and they have their best ever season...

You can't survive without a strong pack however. Wales, at times, need reminding of this! Wales also don't have a line-out...

You need power, flair & mental toughness.

England, Australia and SA have proved their mental toughness over tournaments.

NZ, France & Ireland have shown a capacity to choke.

Will they choke?

France have dug themselves in an Argentinian sized hole already. If NZ choke, the 2007 RWC is wide open...

What a turn up for the books.
Told you France would buckle, the pressure was far too much. But you have to back the power team South Africa, they were the team who i expected to win, that performance confirmed it.
