Fans are ready to cheer. Pundits are ready to predict match winners and bettors are raring to roll the dice for a much-awaited payday. The 2015 Rugby World Cup will be exciting, that is for sure. But what specifically should we expect?
1. Expect powerhouse New Zealand to remain a force to reckon with. The All Blacks are the defending champion, and one of the three multi-titled teams (along with Australia and South Africa). They are expected to move out of Pool C with ease, with Argentina the only real threat here.
2. Ireland likewise will resort to a show of force, and why not? They are the heartbreak kids, the team with the most number of quarterfinals appearances that never progressed further. The Greyhounds were in the quarterfinals five times and were turned back in every occasion.
3. Expect host England not to fight fiercely from start to finish. They’ve been crowned champs just once 92003). They made it to the final in 2007 but were thwarted by South Africa. Now, bolstered by a highly partisan home crowd, England will push hard for a second World Cup title.
4. Expect France, South Africa and Wales to play the spoilers part. Their task as a collective is to frustrate every team that has a stake – New Zealand want to defend their title, England want to win as a host team, and Ireland want to end their long road of misery. As teams that are long-standing powerhouse squads, any of these three teams could surprise the field and emerge on top at tournament’s end.
5. Looking for real dark horse teams to bet on? Try Scotland, Fiji, Samoa or Canada. Any of these teams may have something up their sleeves to surprise the dominant clique.
