A lot of talk in the rundown to the World Cup will invariably fall around the three Tri-Nations sides and France and England, as these are the sides most likely to be contesting the final in Eden Park.
Mentions will also be made of Argentina, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, as they will all have a say in how this World Cup is shaped, if not being the answer to the big question.
But what about the other eleven nations who make up the four pools?
I include Italy in this group as throughout their history, they are still yet to make the Quarter-Final stage of the RWC.
Do any of these sides have a chance of causing an upset and making the finals stage of the competition or maybe knocking out one of the major players in the tournament with a shock result?
And perhaps some of these sides might not do it this time around. Will we see them use this experience to hopefully become bigger players in the next two World Cups in England and Japan?
