    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

    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.

    Faces I wouldn’t like to see holding Bill.

    In no particular order

    Sexton
    Farrell
    Eddie Jones
    Cheika

    change title to "When the ABs lose, ..."

    Topic: I wouldn't mind France (just because) or Australia (because of Rennie)

    France will win it anyway methinks.

    We won't at any rate!

    late to the party but i'd jump on the France bandwagon

    unlike lots though i wouldn't mind Aussie, would be good to build some more interest leading up the the next world cup, i have been lucky in that all the aussie i know either dont care about rugby....even if they win....or if they do care they know enough to not be too much of a dick

    I've got an Aussie mate who is tiresome when the ABs lose. Lucky for us he's going through a divorce and is on Tinder and Bumble so he's been too preoccupied to be as much as a pain as he usually would be.

    Can't be South Africa - they have as many wins as us.

    France would be okay.

    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.

    Most of us find that stuff as nauseating as you do.

    France deserve a win and yeah all the Frogs I’ve ever met through rugby have been good blokes.

    Yep. It's frustrating to have to continuously explain basic stuff to normally intelligent people. I bet the players find it equally nauseating as well.

    Think France will win the thing and wouldn't have a problem with that.

    Wales v NZ Final

    Wales to win for the first time in 70 years

    The stuff of dreams

    And delusion

    ..delusion being NZ in the final (as seen from this moment in time)...but in 2023 the learning afterburners will kick in..

    I think I recall Stephen Jones asking that the 2007 RWC be called off because it was such a foregone conclusion.

    I wish they had. 🙂

    We won't be favourites under Fozzie, but I'm far from thinking it's a lost cause.
