    They're decent but just not on either England or Australia's level. They will lose both those pool games by at least 10 points.

    I dont rate the Aussies that highly at all tbh. Not that im taking them for granted ofc but I dont think they beat Wales more than 50% of the time atm, esp in the northern hemisphere. Definitely worried we wont make it out as well

    England will piss through...probably to the final...(against NZ where they will lose ;))

    I didn't rate Australia either until that game in Sydney. If they play Pocock and Hooper and Quade Cooper doesn't play they will give Wales a hiding.

    He totally made a hash of that game!

    And Aussie were definitely in it in the first half... did we score two tries while he was off?

    I don't think either Australia or Wales are great teams at the moment, but there's definitely no way we're enough better than them that we're assured to beat both.

    The thing I laughed about the most was Cheika was totally oblivious to Quade Cooper's reputation and record in NZ.

    Shit coach right there....

    DWTA. England are looking sharp and on home soil and a final at Twickenham you should be favourites...and rightly so.

    Home soil is huge!

    On the Quade front I think he threw him in in an attempt to get under our skins... but I think QC has an affinity with capitulation when he faces the ABs... remember the last RWC?
    I think he becomes a desperate man against us.

    Cheika's naivety was staggering.

    Might sound racist but why did they employ a Lebanese wog no name to coach the national rugby team anyway? Beyond me

    New Zealand is really going to struggle if teams hold a good defensive line. Read,Whitelock,Retallick have been average all year and Kaino isn't what he once was. Coles is our only legit meter making forward right now in the starting lineup which is really scary.

    He got it all wrong. Poor bugger is out of his depth

    Hmm...those are 3 of the best players in the world you are showing little faith in. And I think you're being unfair on them all. They were all really good in the last game they played. And you're only as good as your last game ;)

    They'll smash it at the World Cup.

    Love seeing Coles burn off opposition backs with those little legs though. He doesn't even look like an athlete, or even a front rower...letterlone a tryscoring machine.

    Yeah I do hold hope they play like the beasts they are purely because I don't rate their replacements at all and everyone knows how good those 4 can be

    Brodie needs to step it up a bit. I'm not a fan of his standoff play. Let the backs be backs. I am a fan of his tight and line out work however. Same with Read and Whitelock. Beasts of men who will strike fear and run rampant

    There is the potential they made changes and threw the game so not to give the ABs another go at the side that beat them... could be a stroke of brilliance if they knock us out in the RWC.

    Pretty good side out for France v England

    Think Watson has a spot locked down but apart from that it's a fair shout at a first XV. #12 spot remains a mystery.

    Bit worried about no Morgan as he probably needs match practise. Would be dire to have him miss out on the squad.

    Obviously this is accurate and I would add that if you have an off day you will lose. And even if you have an average day you will lose. But barring not turning up or a key injury it would be quite the upset for you not to advance. I would also back you against most teams in the knockouts except for those wearing black shirts.

    Dare to believe in England.
