i'm a new zealander but i'm betting on australia, not because i necessarily think they will win but because i kinda hope they will just to make rugby interesting. but they do have the best performing players right now
it seems for new zealand we have to start all over again, we have serious injury problems. for the past few years our props have been woodcock and franks, but woodcock has been injured most of this season and even then he hasn't been performing as well as he used to, does he still have it? or do we need to start over and find someone else? our best wingers were supposed to be Sivivatu and Rokocoko, but both have been quiet especially rokocoko, sivivatu has been ok, but do they still have it? or is it time to start over and start players like Hosea Gear, Jane and Rene Ranger? even then Jane and Gear have been injured all season and they've been very quiet coming back, the only all black winger that has actually been performing this season is Rene Ranger, the other winger thats been performing is Maitland but it seems unlikely he'll get selected. Our main centre's were supposed to be Nonu and Smith, Smith has also been injured all season and Nonu obviously hasn't had his best season either. Our best fullback is supposed to be Muliaina, again injured all season, our best half back is supposed to be Weepu, again injured all season and slowly coming back. pretty much the whole all blacks main team during 2010 has either been injured or under performing, its making me worried about the world cup
