springbok world cup this year?

springbok world cup this year?

so after yesterdays super 14 final with 2 SA sided, i reckon the boks are looking decidely good for the world cup this year…couple other teams must wonder what happened this year and how the sa sides suddenly improved so much

I reckon it because of 2 things

1. new players - theres a whole pile of new 20 year old players who just light up the field…JP pietersen, pierre spies…its a long list!

2. years of pain and misery..suffering breeds character! - the bok side has been so rollercoaster the last few years that maybe there was a grand plan after all

Personally i cant wait to whip the poms asses (again) in a a weeks time and then at the world so we can beat the worlds best consistant side..the Kiwis!

So who is going to do what the world cup…here is my predicition for the top 4

1st - Springkobs

2md - New Zealand

3rd - France

4th - Ireland

I reckon aussie in 5th and maybe italy to cause a few upsets. Aussie super 14 sides have sucked this year so dont rate them at all (although never rule them out!). The poms have once again sunk into a quagmire of self loathing and self pity…true to form. Italy i reckon has real potential to cause some upsets as does argentina

So after all of that who do i rate as the best club side in the world currently…its a toss up between the sharks and bulls. The bulls where lucky to win yesterday but when they are at full pace they are unstoppable..especially that forward pack…are quite scary!

Viva South Africa, Viva
