My early thoughts:


Australia
England

South Africa
Samoa

New Zealand
Argentina

Ireland
France


QFs

England beats SA
Australia beats Samoa

France shocks NZ (not really, but I am praying)
Ireland gets over the hump and makes QF beating Argentina

England defeats France/NZ
Ireland beat Australia

England reign supreme and break Irish hearts


(I am team anyone but NZ..)

Well traditionally they aren't always as dominate at the world cup. And its not in New Zealand this time.


Still I'd think you'd have to put them as the clear favorites. Ireland looks like a contender and England is strong too and playing at home but they are in the group of death. South Africa and Australia are always southern hemisphere powers but have been to inconsistent as of late and I don't think France, Argentina or Samoa are at a level right now to win a world cup.


So basically New Zealand, Ireland and England I think are the teams with the best chance at winning.

I think Scotland beats Samoa for the 2nd spot out of Pool B.
