The upcoming rugby world cup will be the best one yet! The question on everyone’s mind at the moment is, “who’s going to win it?” The
competition this year is fierce with top sides like; New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, France and England competing but you also can’t rule out other powerful
sides like; Italy, Wales and Ireland who will definitely give the top sides a run for their money!
This year's group pools are as follows.
Group A:
England, South Africa, Samoa, Tonga, USA
Group B: Australia, Canada, Fiji, Japan, Wales
Group C: Italy, New Zealand, Portugal, Romania,
Scotland
Group D: Argentina, France, Georgia, Ireland, Namibia
Previous winners:
1987 - New Zealand
1991 -
Australia
1995 - South Africa
1999 - Australia
2003 – England
Looking at the stats and current betting it says to us that the
competition is limited to New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, England and France. But will the little weaknesses in the teams lead to their downfall? Like New
Zealand’s playing away from home record, Australia’s trying to be too clever resulting in only fooling themselves, South Africa’s poor stamina in the last ten minutes,
England’s new youthful teams inexperience and France’s erratic performance stats? You never now until the day which is why this is going to be such a brilliant
rugby world cup!
