[QUOTE="Thingimubob, post: 421010, member: 20956"] I'm afraid I have to agree with Melhor Time here, just really don't see Italy, Scotland and Argentina as minnows. You say that they're classed as 'minnows' if they haven't really looked in contention to win a RWC? Well Ireland have never made the semi-finals, surely that makes them a 'minnow' if Scotland (who have made the semis) are? Wales have only ever had one successful world cup, where they came 3rd in '87, yet aren't considered minnows when Argentina who came 3rd in 2007 are considered minnows? Very harsh call Italy a minnow too, considering their performances in recent 6 Nations, with wins against Scotland, Wales and France (with a few tight losses to England, Ireland and even Australia!) over the past 4 years. EDIT: Agree with LordHope, Wales aren't minnows yet a win against NZ would be HUGE, seeing that we havent beaten them since the '50's, as would a win against the 'Boks who we only beat in '99 (though we've been knocking on that door a fair bit recently...)
