Rugby World Cup – the Predictions and Opinions


Quickly the days rush by to the most prestigious event in the world of international rugby. A brutal clash is set to take place between the magnificent cherry blossoms of Japan when forces on the field meet up at 12 different location across the country. Forty-eight matches deliver on great opportunities of more than just spectator excitement, but also a profitable period for many punters globally. The forecasts and prediction are fuzzy and conflicting and deciding on where your wagers will be at, isn’t easy.

Another All Black Victory?

This is the question which delivers on the most conflicting answers. Without a doubt, the New Zealand team has always been a force to reckon with in the field, and they still have the Webb Ellis Trophy in their possession, but they aren’t currently at the top of world rankings. Will the All Black be able to repeat their success for the fourth time around? With more RWC victories behind their name than any other team, still, the All Blacks have shown themselves not to be unbeatable. Add to this the fact that this year their opponents seem to be fearless in taking them on and no certainty is set in an All Black victory.

Ireland – A Force to Consider

Ireland has never been able to get past the quarterfinals in this prestigious event. This year though they are brilliantly skilled, perfectly fit and have absolutely no reason not to surpass even maybe their expectations. If Ireland doesn’t make it this year to at least the finals, they seriously need to consider why not. Will they be able to surpass this mental challenge? Many hopefuls are rooting for just that.

South African Springboks – Outliving a Moment of Shame

It was a difficult challenge to forget that very embarrassing moment for Springbok rugby when a good scoop of being overconfident left them in defeat against the current hosts during 2015. The Springbok pride was demolished, and the road to recovery has been long and complicated, yet the Boks rose up again, and over the past couple of months, their young team has displayed brilliance and strength in their play. Maybe this year they can get on par with the All Black and take the Webb Ellis home for a third time too.

Australia – A Wild Card

Considerable uncertainty remains which version of the Wallabies will show up to perform. This remains a challenge for punters globally since as easy as the Aussies can defeat the All Blacks when they arrive all fired-up and vibrant, just as easy it is for them to turn in a deflated and dispirited bunch which suffers a tremendous thrashing by the same team. Finding the team to select for your sports bet, might be compared well with the challenge ahead of the world’s most brilliant stars competing for the coveted Cup. Victory might be looming and so does defeat with 20 teams competing and the only victor to be revealed.
