Rugby world cup 2007 preview:
Prediction for Rugby world cup 2011:
There are some very tricky predictions this weekend, including the Rebels at home to Highlanders – the away side had a promising start to the season, but I’m backing Danny Cipriani’s side to come through in Melbourne.
The Reds versus the Bulls is another potential pitfall, with the Queenslanders just returning from their tour of South Africa without a rest. But the Bulls are still on their tour down under and haven’t been performing, so I’m leaning towards a home win.
South Africa and New Zealand are favourites. form and top players suggests SA, home advantage suggests NZ.
France, England, Australia are others that have a chance. Depends on new star players they uncover before the world cup.(and in Aust's case, who they can get from the NRL to give them gamebreakers in the outside backs i.e. folau, slater, gasnier)
Scotland, Wales, Argentina and Ireland are possible outsiders, but unlikely winners
Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, Italy will throw up some upsets.
