Argentina For: Underdogs, getting some attractive rugby in, a lot of Premiership players Against: Why set yourself up to fail Australia For: Probably playing the best out of everyone in the tournament now Against: League fans France For: Them winning would probably involve something hilarious and insane Against: Them losing would probably involve something hilarious and insane Ireland For: Support a good NH team that hasn't won the trophy yet Against: 10 man rugby, have a history of carking it in the quarter finals New Zealand For: Most likely to win Against: Why is that a reason Scotland For: Big underdogs Against: Guff written about 'bravery' would be unbearable South Africa For: I'm struggling. Erm. Bryan Habana has a fun goofy smile when he scores Against: Do you need me to tell you why not to support the springboks Wales For: NH team with a chance, be a good comeback story having been written off with their injuries, can say we lost to the winning team, a gun Wales team usually leads to a gun Lions team Against: Bugger Wales, why are you even considering this
Yuck. Ireland and South Africa for me. Always found Ireland to be my second NH team, and the arrogance of the SH is really irritating so would be grand if the Irish could carry the flag. Apart from that I really don't like the other 6N teams barring Italy who are out and SA are the best of the other contenders
Would have to be the all blacks simply because I can't stand most other countries on the list that and they actually play rugby
"Against: Guff written about 'bravery' would be unbearable" Welcome to our world. Everything written by the English media is unbearable.
I feel more than a bit cheeky pretending Howe had people like me in mind when he started this thread but I do support England in international rugby union so I'll go ahead and answer it: I'm supporting Wales now.
That's why I'm supporting France. They can be as smug as they like. They can go on on about 2015 like a beer-bellied Englishman yacking on about '66. They can crow about the win until kingdom come. But it will all be in French, and if it aint about baguettes, I aint listening Francois.
