[QUOTE="Jashay, post: 938446, member: 78812"] I wouldn't like to call it. I think NZ are the clear favourites, but Ireland, England and South Africa have all made them look vulnerable. This is Wales' best chance for a long time, but I'm still not convinced by their attack. If England can get their heads on straight I'd put them as second favourites, but that's by no means a given. We seem... brittle. Ireland need some functioning half-backs and they're good to go. I'd expect Scotland, England, Ireland, Wales, France to all make the quarters. I don't think Scotland will get any further than that due to the draw, and France will probably implode at that point. But any of the other three could go all the way. Going by the 6N I wouldn't expect England to get past the NZ semi, though. But it can be really hard to predict. Wouldn't want to write off Japan at home. Wales should beat Australia, Georgia and Fiji, but it's not a given by a long shot. England have to play some very unpredictable teams and have shown limited adaptability. France are France. [/QUOTE]
