My money is on the Boks......

If you assume that the All Blacks will choke as they seem to like to do and have shown evidence of looking like they might, then the sensible money has to be on South Africa. Whilst they struggled in the Tri-Nations, they are starting to hit their stride and looked powerfully fierce in the game against Scotland. Habana is someone who has the ability to rival the New Zealand back 3 and with the whole team looking to ship the ball in the tackle, their matches should provide enthralling rugby. I don't have much hope for England in their game against South Africa and can only hope that we manage to survive the game against Western Samoa to advance to the KO stages.............

It will be interesting to see if Graham Henry manages to get over the choking thing. I thougt the players were going into the WC as the best prepared team in the world, but there were concerns in the Tri-Nations that may have rocked their confidence a bit, binging back all the usual nervousness in a big one-off game

Not sure if you were being literal in saying your money was on the Saffers, but I've put a fiver on them to win at and got a free bet for another fiver for them to beat new zealand in the final. If they both come off, £105 from £5. We'll see!
