The next rugby world cup will be the best yet! The question on everyone’s mind right now is, “who’s going to win it?” The competition this year is fierce with the best sides like; New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, France and England compete, but other powerful teams such as; Italy, Wales and Ireland, who will definitely give the best a chance!

This year’s group groups are as follows.

Group A: England, South Africa, Samoa, Tonga, USA.

Group B: Australia, Canada, Fiji, Japan, Wales

Group C: Italy, New Zealand, Portugal, Romania, Scotland

Group D: Argentina, France, Georgia, Ireland, Namibia

Previous winners:

1987 – New Zealand

1991 – Australia

1995 – South Africa

1999 – Australia

2003 – England

Looking at the current stats and betting tells us that the competition is limited to New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, England and France. But will the teams’ small weaknesses lead to their downfall? Like New Zealand’s away game record, Australia’s attempt to be too clever and only fool themselves, South Africa’s lack of resistance in the last ten minutes, the inexperience of England’s new youth teams? and France’s erratic performance statistics? Never now to this day, that’s why it will be such a brilliant rugby world cup!
