You only get to have an opinion if you make it to the semi-final stage.
That being the case, I'm glad you and @jegga agree that the Wallabies and All Blacks were equally shit in 2007.
Nice try .
Locking up opinions at the semis locks out the Irish too so I completely support this .
Ireland didn't even make the quarters in 2007, so play on
. @antipodean quarter final rule effectively blocks them from all rwc discussion so I fully endorse it .

Boks. I think this might be their last dance as politics ruins their team.
Politics and economics. The ANC never had to impose a quota on the squad - just bide their time for their economic management and crime to take effect.

I'm half English, lived in the UK for a fair time, and I want us to be the only team that has won 3 times - England please! And they play a bit more interesting rugby
NZ has already won it three times...sorry to shatter your dreams.

You're responding to a Kiwi.

England has scored 10 tries inside the opening five minutes of a Test against Tier-one opposition in 23 matches since 2018.
The next fastest starter is France with five tries in 19 Tests.
New Zealand and South Africa have scored one apiece during that same time.

How often do they get to play Italy..?

Or Scotland.....

I'm torn, but as someone will need to win I prefer the Bokke. They are our biggest rival and I'm stil not over the casual Pom fans reactions to 2003.
Mind you, I suspect we'll get inundated with Saffa floaters should they get up.
I suspect England to win though, which would mean we retain our "only three time winner tag" which would be ok.
But on balance SA.

yuck.. I think I would like it to be a tie, but South Africa score more tries. They play extra time and still no winner. South Africa to win on count back of tries. Please note, I am aware that is not the actual rules, just what I would prefer. England to cop some of that truly gutting feeling.
I think I would still prefer South Africa to win, Im already seeing way to many articles on northern hemisphere dominance. However after the way we were dismantled, I certainly wouldn't begrudge an England win.

Dominance?
50/50 split of the finalists and semi-finalists.
And 37.5/62.5 split of the Q-finalists and given that Japan are a but of an anomaly...
As Tom Brady would say "Go Bow-Ker".

There are lots of great fans and Rugby people from both countries.
Slight preference for England. Some friends have coached or played with a few of this England team. Also, Eddie Jones make me laugh.
Both squads have worked really hard and improved a lot in recent years. Either would be worthy winners.

This breaks my heart.
Because it has every chance of being correct.
