    Yeah France if anyone, it'd be easier to ignore all of their gloating as I wouldn't even understand it, and anything I did understand would be in a funny French accent.

    France or Wales I could live with.

    Unbearable - Ireland, Springboks, Australia

    Pragmatically speaking an Aussie win would help NZ rugby. Interest in SR pacific would grow etc

    and England.

    Australia will have the same 24 year gap they used to laugh at us about so fuck them.
    England will be on a 20 year gap so they can wait longer.
    SA only win every 12 years (95,07,19) so aren't due
    France are well overdue.
    I think we would make a logical pattern if we won next time.

    Wales, Ireland, Scotland don't deserve to win. Just because.

    That’s far too sensible fella, even though I agree with the principle that the best scenario for NZ rugby improvement and interest is a strong OZ. But I’ll be damned if I see Rennie lead an Aussie team to RWC glory 🤮

    Interesting how many of us chose France, I'm included, though if we are into the very unlikely candidates, I'd prefer Argentina.

    For me I don't want the Boks pulling away from us. Couldn't stand Oz winning cos I live here. England nah. Ireland can fck off.

    In order of worst to least worst...

    1. England
    2. Australia / South Africa - I don't know what would be worse between Australia joining us on 3 cups (plus their general Australian-ness) or RSA equally our back-to-back record and overtaking us in cups won
    3. Ireland - although, if they win it playing the way they did in July I would have to admire them begrudgingly
    4. Scotland - lol
    5. France - I know a few too many French people who know SFA about rugby who would enjoy this too much
    6. Wales
    7. Argentina

    Just not England or Australia. Probably South Africa just so they can't beat out record.

    If we cant win, someone should steal the Cup and runaway...take the ball and go home 🙂

    Not England, Not Aus, Not SA and Not Ireland, I can make peace with anyone else winning it.

    and England.

    No problem with England as far as the genuine rugby supporters are concerned. Actually be happy for them

    It's the inevitable fair-weather "fans" and triumphalist "This is the Greatest Rugby Team Ever" media which makes it a no-no for me.
