NZ to beat SA in the final. Comfortably

I'm not going to predict because I'm a wussCanada beat Italy?!
Canada would be lucky to beat a NZ schools 1st XV - they have totally and utterly regressed. I wouldn't even be surprised if Namibia beat Canada. TBH, the RWC pools got thrown out of sync by the Spain/Germany/another country which escapes me (?Romania) being disqualified for fielding 1 or 2 ineligible players.

Ah, it was bad enough to have 2 '...ava's, but if it's not '...dze' or '...vili' shouldn't be in the team!

@Machpants He's played 79 games for Georgia and will be attending his 3rd RWC. Sandro is short for Alexander.

They won't beat Namibia. They're terrible currently.
Russian and Canada are going to stink up this RWC after the last two tournaments have seen the margin of victory over minnows get smaller and smaller.

You see this is why we didn't win the CWC. Reckless posters like you that are nowhere near superstitious enough.

The RWC is always 4 teams shy of being a reasonably competitive 20

6N
Pacific Islands
Japan
Georgia
USANamibia
Canada
Uruguay
RussiaThe best hope for the future is probably that sides like Germany and Spain get stronger. Canada's demise is a mystery - they've produced a couple of very good players down thru the years, not least DTH van der Merwe, who at his peak was an excellent winger (although he was a SA import if I'm honest).

Unfortunately after many years of progress, Germany rugby has gone backwards due to infighting which led to their billionaire benefactor pulling out. He now is the owner of Stade Francis.
Spain look like the next big thing in rugby. They've a lot of players and are getting stronger. They're next to France too so they've a supply of Spanish qualified French players. Portugal U20 destroyed Canada and Tonga and lost by a late Japan try to miss out on next season's U20 world championship. Holland are also getting stronger at U20 level. Those 3 countries could potentially join the Pro14 in the next decade.
