That could be spot on….Cheika is a genius…or not haha
The greatest year in rugby history is coming
Agreed about Owens, head and shoulders above the rest. I like Nic Berry as an up and coming ref as well

That is some detailed predicting. As an AB fan I would take a 37-22 win in the final any day of the week.

Agreed, the winner will have gone through some serious rugby games to get that trophy, depth will be crucial

Lano, good point about Johnson. A few months is not much time to turn things around and it will be interesting to see his relationship with Cheika develop or not. Why SA? I think Hansen will hold back with the Abs for the tournament and I think SA are a dangerous side who can exploit that. On the tv stuff I’m not sure.

Haha cheers. Gone are the days of the Southern Hemisphere owning the Northern. I wouldn’t be a true rugby fan without some crap predictions.

Ah Fiji to win the cup, that would be awesome. My fantasy pick would be Japan getting out of there pool, though I think the Scottish are too strong for that to happen.

It will be a cracking year. I think England have found there mojo again and wouldn’t be surprised if they roll Ireland first match in Dublin. With Eddie at the helm for a WC they are a decent chance to get to the big dance.

Curse of the Rugby Championship, I like that, it’s been a poisoned chalice the last few World Cup years for sure.
The greatest year in rugby history is coming
I think NZ and SA will make last 4. Wales are my dark horse to have a decent run and make semis as well .
The greatest year in rugby history is coming
There seems to be that line of thought about the abs, I will be interested to see Hansens starting XV for the first pool game wc. I think the Wallabies will get out of there pool, not sure how far though.
The greatest year in rugby history is coming
Injuries will be the issue. There always seems to be few big ones in World Cup years so if they can dodge any major ones they will go close.
The greatest year in rugby history is coming
There is a lot of love for the men in green. I don’t think too many in the rugby world would be too upset if they get the win. Injuries will be the key, Sexton goes down they are in trouble I think.

Bugger, bad luck with the leg. Now I feel bad about the cheeky dig at the Italians. Take it easy, super rugby is just around the corner.

I agree, he is foxing for sure. I like that lineup. Have DMAC come on and break the game apart when the big fellas are tired.
Who is the foxiest coach in world rugby?
Metricon is 25 k normally but they can put additional seating in to make 40 k like they did at the com games. Some good signings in the next few years will help massively, hopefully the afl has patience
Why can't the Gold Coast commit to its sporting marriages?
Yes they need to aim higher then the Hayne plane that is for sure.

Guys lets move past coffee and the other crap. The question is will the Suns and Titans survive? And what are some ways they can ensure their survival. Been some decent thoughts posted already.
Why can't the Gold Coast commit to its sporting marriages?
Having lived overseas for a few years, no Australian city can compare to Europe or even come close. I always thought I’d settle in Melbourne but it pales in comparison so ended up on the Gold Coast because of beaches and lifestyle and it being pretty awesome. Melbourne disappointed me, apart from the MCG. Good luck wherever you come back to.

Agreed, there seems to be too many 2 test series for the black caps.
