Last time it was JMH. Anyone got an idea of who this ones will be? Of course if we're right it won't be a surprise.

For a lot of SH people SO'B will be a surprise.
 
Hard to say - Players like Quade Cooper, James O'Connor, SBW
We've already seen quite a lot of now so wouldn't really be a surprise if they tore it up in the WC


If selected, Charlie Sharples :p
 
It could be anyone. There'll be players who step up a level and other players who'll have a bad world cup. it depends on the team they're playing for too.
 
If I had to pick one player it would be Ben Foden. I think he could have a very good world cup.
 
N.Z: Kaino (Hard to pick, their all so good)
Aus: Elsom (To regain form, nobody seems to be expecting it)
S.A: Smit
Ire: Sexton*
Eng: Ashton
Fra: Mermoz
Wales: Hook
Scot: Jackson
Ita: Zanni
Arg: Contepomi (To regain form)

Don't know other nations well enough.

really? quade cooper showed how good a player he is in super rugby this year, it will be no surprise if he does well in the world cup, same goes for SBW

also, JOC has been an integral member of the Wallabies squad for a number of years now and has been in great form over those years.

If your talking about players who will use this world cup to show great improvements i have to disagree with those players named, but if you are talking about players who are going to improve on their previous world cup form I would have to agree, but only because those 3 players have had little or no RWC experience
 
Did you not read my post?
I said those players have already shown their class, so it won't be a surprise if they continue their form into the WC....
 
Any one of Wales' backrow+George North
 
Manu Tuilagi will be the surprise package for this rwc. I think he holds the key for England to win the RWC.
 
I'm hoping/expecting Richie Gray to have a good world cup with Scotland, after what he's achieved for Glasgow Warriors and for Scotland in the 6 nations where he was easily (unfortunately) amongst the top performers. I'd hope that he could continue to progress and even make it as a Lion in two years time.
 
I'm gonna go with THE ORANGE ONE :D :D :D He'll be the mastermind behind the welsh backline :p :p
 
Because the world has forgotten what impact they can have; FdP and Heinrich Brussow.

Just about to say that he will do well and wil like to see how he will fair against SH centres like SBW and Ma'a Nonu and Adam Ashley cooper hopefully will shut aussies and New zealanders up about him and his brother alex
 
Since when have people in the SH had anything but good things to say about the Tuilagi brothers? :huh:

Well, apart from Anitelia, who is pants :p
