    Wales v NZ Final

    Wales to win for the first time in 70 years

    The stuff of dreams

    And delusion

    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.

    Outside of NZ, I hope Wales could win.

    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.

    If we're going for options that aren't realistic, I pick Georgia. 😃

    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

    I don't know about anyone else, but for me it's probably because I'm Welsh

    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)
