I'm not sure about that. I don't think the mindset is that different. Last time they encountered they both put a lot of effort.

All Blacks had been crushing almost everyone for so long we get a bit spiritual about them, thinking they would always do something out of nothing.

This time a few more teams have some form & if England can join them there are going to be a lot more difficult QFs. Not sure that winning between World Cups is the same as winning at World Cups & perhaps teams with strength in depth (=strong squads) are going to come through?

I think Ireland has a good chance. Often the tean with the highest ranking and also underrated wins. Ireland is the one to sneak under the radar.

Fiji are the highest ranked side in their group, yet they are predicted to come third? Wales have been dreadful recently, as have England, and Argentina are a much better side just now. I expect Fiji to top their group tbh, or at least get second. Argentina are the clear favourites in theirs and imo England will be lucky to get out of the group. Japan or Samoa could easily beat them.

I had, from Very Early on in the R.W.C. felt that those oh so many experts and pundits, who were prepared to overlook or even discard," The Springboks" from their forecasts, did so to their cost. I was Delighted of course to be proved right, after the most arduous and "nail-biting" journey to the Finals for the Valiant men, in the "Green and Gold", to make it to the finals... To play against "The All Blacks", with both teams chasing a record breaking Fourth Win of "The Webb-Ellis Cup" and the crown of Four Time R.W.C winners, promised to be a real "Clash of The Titans". IT WAS and Needless to say as an avowed "SPRINGBOK" supporter, I was both elated and so Relieved, when the final whistle blew. FOUR TIME and Back to Back, Rugby World Cup Champions, from just Eight tournaments played....! " GO BOKKE..." !!

I really dont want to see Ireland vs France in the quarters, Id like that to be the final (English but assume they can't go that far)

Wasn't Ugo Monye the one who stopped Ardie Savea being named Worlds Best Player last year? How wrong was he!

As a New Zealander, I would say the Cup is wide open. I think France is overrated. It could be an upset. On form, Ireland looks like the one, but anything can happen. In most of the World Cups, the favorites have not won. Remember that Australia was the big favorite to win in 1995.
