[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 770088, member: 48703"] In fairness, there's not all that much to disagree with on that article. Most of us could have guessed at least 7 of the 8 quarter finalists (although in fairness Samoa were capable of much more, and Fiji may have had an outside chance in a different pool). And most of us could have guessed who the 3 or 4 sides that could win the cup were. But the articles underlying point that the RWC is relatively predictable and an overhyped achievement is a fair one. The pool stages for most of the major players is a formality. After that it's basically just a series of knockout style matches where ability to grind out wins comes to the fore. If Argentina had an Autumn International run where they faced Ireland (coming off a physically gruelling match with France), Australia and South Africa and won one of the three. Then there wouldn't be dozens of articles praising them and puff pieces on their system. [/QUOTE]
