    Either an All Blacks or England win will get me a pretty good payout on so I guess I can handle an English win this time (just).

    Otherwise Wales or Argentina please

    Blerk. What a 'choice'. I have a Welsh name and a soft spot for the Taffies, plus there's an OG TSF poster who's Welsh and a buddy of mine who I'd be stoked for. As others have said, I wouldn't like to lose to the eventual winners though; can't quite put my finger on why, but that'd be galling.

    I certainly don't want Australia, SA or England to win, and Ireland are almost in that category also.

    I'm exercising my selfish privilege - anyone who plays us regularly and promotes our competitions.

    Therefore, of the major nations in order I'd prefer:
    SA
    Arg
    Aus

    daylight

    France
    Including Scotland here so @MN5 doesn't get too wound up
    Wales
    Ireland
    England

    Is @MN5 still banned?

    If so, Scotland suck.

    1 Australia
    2 France
    3 Wales/Ireland

    I would take any in that order, and as a bonus NOT facing the ABs to do so just so some of you have something (pathetic) to cling to in terms of facing down another semifinal choke.

    😉

    only one team that actually deserves the term chokers, and they where Blue, usually.....

    Dunno that France were ever overwhelming favourites in every RWC they entered 🤔

    3 from 8 over a history of ridiculous winning percentage? Piss poor 😉

    I reckon NZ were favourites in 07/11 and 15. 2/3 aint so bad.

    We def weren't overwhelming favourites in any of the other years although we would have been close to that in 91. Don't think anyone was favoured in 99 - bit like this year....

    I fucking LOVE how you guys talk up your winning record with your hands down your pants, but suddenly we talk all the RWCs you've choked in, and I see nothing but excuses.

    Jolly good show - keep it up.

    Scotland (yeah right)
    Anyone but England after that but …
    Japan
    France (you never know with these guys at a RWC)
    I'd go for Argentina but the thought of the World champs playing 4 years of friendlies irritates me
    Not Australia

    ….actually I don't want anyone else to win
