Yes, any tournament would place NZ as favourites with Aus and SA filling on string.
But England have shown that they have what it takes and took NZ very close in a few matches recently - if Eng can get the to semi finals then home advantage in a massive tournament could swing it for us.
Suppose you should put the French and the Welsh in the outside bet category. After that, sorry Imre, few teams including Scotland are likely to make much impact. shame, as Scotland can play good rugger when they are given the space to throw it about and run the ball. They might suprise one of the favourites if not taken seriously.
