      @@Obviously-by6jp Don't confuse forcing your opposition to infringe with milking penalties. A scrum is still a scrum and if the opposition collapses or stands up that is still your penalty - the referee also can not call for the ball to be used if the scrum / maul is still going forward. Similarly, the opposition attacking your jumper in the air of taking out the support players is still a penalty and mauls are still an integral part of the game.

      I'm not sure about that. I don't think the mindset is that different. Last time they encountered they both put a lot of effort. Ireland wanted to prove themselves they could beat a top team, and the blacks had to prove they were still a top team.
      All Blacks had been crushing almost everyone for so long we get a bit spiritual about them, thinking they would always do something out of nothing. I don't think it's true anymore, not with that team.

    This time a few more teams have some form & if England can join them there are going to be a lot more difficult QFs.

    Fiji are the highest ranked side in their group, yet they are predicted to come third? Wales have been dreadful recently, as have England, and Argentina are a much better side just now.
    I expect Fiji to top their group tbh, or at least get second. Argentina are the clear favourites in theirs and imo England will be lucky to get out of the group. Japan or Samoa could easily beat them.

The likes of AWJ, Tipuric etc have all retired and the replacements aren't of nearly the same quality. Fiji's squad is packed full of world class players, which Wales have almost none of.

    I had, from Very Early on in the R.W.C. felt that those oh so many experts and pundits, who were prepared to overlook or even discard," The Springboks" from their forecasts, did so to their cost. I was Delighted of course to be proved right, after the most arduous and "nail-biting" journey to the Finals for the Valiant men, in the "Green and Gold", to make it to the finals... To play against "The All Blacks", with both teams chasing a record breaking Fourth Win of "The Webb-Ellis Cup" and the crown of Four Time R.W.C winners, promised to be a real "Clash of The Titans". IT WAS and Needless to say as an avowed "SPRINGBOK" supporter, I was both elated and so Relieved, when the final whistle blew. FOUR TIME and Back to Back, Rugby World Cup Champions, from just Eight tournaments played....! " GO BOKKE..." !!

    As a New Zealander, I would say the Cup is wide open. I think France is overrated. It could be an upset. On form, Ireland looks like the one, but anything can happen. In most of the World Cups, the favorites have not won. Remember that Australia was the big favorite to win in 1995.

If one diregards the teams reaspective WC cultures and records, you'd still be left with the fact that Rassie Erasmus is one of the best coaches alive and the Springboks are at east as good as Ireland man foe man.
