Do NZ and Aus really stand a chance against the mighty Springboks in the Tri-Nations this year?

The All Blacks and Wallabies have got absolutely no chance!\nThe Springboks will destroy them!!!\n\nAnd Ruan Pienaar of the Sharks must play for the Boks.

Sorry don't know either but Australia will win by far,Italians still have a lot to learn and a small pool of players to choose from, football is the Italian game and there they are Great.!!!\nGo Aussies.!!!\nFrom a Springbok supporter.!!!

It will be tough with Rep. Of Ireland, Czech Republic and Germany in your group. \n\nMy group prediction - 3rd (play-off)

Again, yes. But not this year. They are not as strong a team as they were compared to past years. England and Netherlands are strong too. So this world cup will be one of the more exciting ones

It depends on the players. If they come out like the overpaid primadonnas that they have been doing then no, they wont win. If they come out, proud to be wearing the GB shirt with real passion then yes, they may just have a chance. Richie HORNE (not Home!!) has pressure on his shoulders but there are enough "class acts" around him to carry him until he finds his feet.\nMy prediction is unfortunately the Aussies will win and then for me it's Go KIWIS!\nAnd the Rugby League Aussie Team are the Kangaroos not the Wallabies

They will be against Argentina or Netherland.\n\nNetherlands.

Could it be that they had three new players again? My son watched the game and he said they just didn't look in the mood. They were lacking in team spirit or maybe high spirits as such. They didn't look as confident as they always do. We are very strong Springbok supporters, but it must be said that Ireland played really well, their game was of a higher standard than usual.

Interesting question but at present it would have to be no as they have yet to win the world cup, they are certainly far in front than other nations and a pleasure to watch and i say that as a Welshman having just seen an excellent All Blacks team

infact after watching the champions trophy it is quiet unpredictable whether the aussies will be able to defend their championship\nevery team in the champions trophy has had one win or more\nno team has actually dominated the series \nfor instance west indies who beat aus and ind lost to england who was far below in confidence the way they fielded against the windies \nso u never know how many times will the lightning strike at one place\nthis world cup is surely going to be exciting

It only confirms that the ABs are the one truly consistent side in the world. They appear so far ahead of the rest because the others alternate between the sublime and the ridiculous (with the possible exception of Ireland). Teams like the Pumas and Italy have made huge strides, but unfortunately they cannot be considered true contenders for WC honours. However, any of the top 5 teams on the day are capable of beating even the awesome ABs. My vote would still be with the ABs to take it. However, don't underestimate partisan support in France, Ireland have the team and skills, the Aussies are never to be under-estimated (although they are building) and my heart is with the Bokke (when they click as a team, beware...). I'm afraid England have too much ground to make up, but at least they appear to have bottomed out (I think). Anyway, I'm looking forward to some awesome rugby matches!

Not at all, but Croatia played yesterday not very smart against The socceroos. but maybe next world cup....\n\nAnd the European championships.

Serbia won't be beaten by Holland!!! Take that to the bank!!! Serbia have an air tight defence and Holland's offence is no threat. \n\nSerbia   1\nHolland 0

THE FINALISTS WILL BE AUSSIES AND S.A.\nS.AFRICANS ARE THE CHAMPIONS LIKELY.

Not at all. I dont think South Africa was a subcontinent in the worldcup 2003. Didnt I ndia go to the finals. It all depends on the hunger to win and the state of mind

It wasn't a great game, but of course the weather conditions were hardly ideal. I was surprised how much running play there was considering the wet ball. \nThe All Blacks never looked like being beaten, but it was closer than many predicted. My man of the match: Byron Kelleher.\nGo the AB's next weekend against Argentina!

Yes that sounds like a good bet, although I really think Aussies will win!
