Had to go for Italy.

How many ex-pat Kiwis do they have playing for them now?

steds · 04-06-2007, 06:04 AM

I've got New Zealand beating South Africa in the final.

DCC_legend · 04-06-2007, 07:24 AM

Kiwis tbh. Can't really see any other nation giving them a real shock.

GIMH · 04-06-2007, 08:16 AM

Surely the Argies should be a poll option

At least three off the top of my head: Paul Griffen, Kaine Robertson & Josh Sole.

If New Zealand lose then they have no excuses. They're better prepared for this Cup than any of the rest, even 1987.

And at the last WC they had their fair share, plus John Kirwan as coach. Mind you I don't blame them, when the odds of getting an AB jumper is about as likely as winning lotto 5 times in a row and you have the chance to play for them (Italy), why not? Especially when it means the chance to play Six Nations etc.

PhoenixFire · 05-06-2007, 12:51 PM

NZ have just been scintillating recently, can't see them being beaten.

graydon_123 · 09-06-2007, 05:41 AM

NZ just beat France again 61-10...highest score by any team against France...so that shows quite a bit on how strong us Kiwis are...if NZ dont win though i would have to go with South Africa (my home nation) woo

Or how weak the French team was.

New Zealand quite easily. And if not, It'll be one of the biggest choke jobs of the 21st century.

cbuts · 11-06-2007, 03:32 PM

yea we chocked big time in 99, but at the end of the day, England was the best team in the world in 03, so to say we chocked is harsh. They came to NZ SA and AUS and won that year.

Was the last time NZ lost a test at home and the last time a team from the NOrthern Hemisphere has beaten us
