RWC - if the ABs lose, which champs wouldn’t be too bad?
-
Wales v NZ Final
Wales to win for the first time in 70 years
The stuff of dreams
And delusion
-
In order of worst to least worst...
- England
- Australia / South Africa - I don't know what would be worse between Australia joining us on 3 cups (plus their general Australian-ness) or RSA equally our back-to-back record and overtaking us in cups won
- Ireland - although, if they win it playing the way they did in July I would have to admire them begrudgingly
- Scotland - lol
- France - I know a few too many French people who know SFA about rugby who would enjoy this too much
- Wales
- Argentina

I'd rather we go out in the pools.
-
If we cant win, someone should steal the Cup and runaway...take the ball and go home
Not England, Not Aus, Not SA and Not Ireland, I can make peace with anyone else winning it.

and England.
No problem with England as far as the genuine rugby supporters are concerned. Actually be happy for them
It's the inevitable fair-weather "fans" and triumphalist "This is the Greatest Rugby Team Ever" media which makes it a no-no for me.

You know what, I really wouldn't mind Wales slipping one past us on, say, an EOYT as you lot tend to play the game as it should be played and Cardiff, apart from the Game That Was Never Played, has always been a great experience.
But a RWC Final? Nah.
-
That's a tough question, but I'd probably have to say Wales
-
I've often said if not the All Blacks, then Les Bleus: Often the bridesmaid, never the bride. And of all nations I've yet to meet a real dick of a French supporter. I'm sure they have some, but I've met a lot and they were all good.
Next would be Argentina. I've played Argentinian teams and apart from the machismo carry on, they're good people. Red wine, steak and no pasé años estudiando español para no usarlo coqueteando con las mujeres.
Then the Welsh, because they love rugby.
-
Of the NH sides , I’ll take Wales ,
Prefer France over the other big threats like South Africa , England and Ireland ,
But out of the lot I’d take Samoa
-
If we're going for options that aren't realistic, I pick Georgia.

Why all this love for Wales. Fuck Wales.
Scotland all the way
I don't know about anyone else, but for me it's probably because I'm Welsh

Not Ireland
God no. Imagine Sexton's face.
-
If NZ don’t win I’d be more than happy for France
Pedigree
Great fans
Home RWC with the last home RWC ending with a dud semifinal exit
They play good rugby -

That’s pretty flawless logic to be fair.
Apart from the Scots of course who’ve been robbed in one way or another at every tournament so far of nations who have a chance of actually winning I’d have to go Ireland ( if Sexton has retired ) Wales, Argentina, France, SA, Oz and England in that order…..still last but after the hammering in 2019 I actually found them to be ok, I don’t even recall any gloating Stephen Jones articles.
