The Rugby World Cup kicks off on Friday; In the 50-day high-level rugby competition, the fight between the two hemispheres is re-enacted; The South adds eight more titles to just one of the North (England in 2003). And when I look at the server groups graph, I can say that The heart of the tournament is in the quarterfinals (groups A and B) above the draw. So on the one hand New Zealand and France order, on the other hand South Africa and Ireland as you prefer. Because that will result in final-smelling quarter-final matches between the four most consistent World Cup contenders. They may face off against the French, the Irish, the New Zealanders, and the South Africans, or the Gauls with the Bokkes, and the Kiwis with the Hibernians. All possible endings.
But I would like to say that the importance of the opening game, the dazzling France-New Zealand match, is actually close to zero. It doesn’t matter if you run into two bombs in South Africa or Ireland, because losing after the quarterfinals is going home and it doesn’t matter who threw you. Richie McCaw, the only person to lift the William Webb Ellis Cup twice, recalled that “to win the World Cup you have to win three finals: quarterfinals, semifinals and final game”. The axiom is so true countries in the northern hemisphere mature worse after defeat, are more self-destructive, and their digestion is more unstable. Perhaps that’s why the way France and Ireland relegated to New Zealand and South Africa will mark their future at the World Cup. Also, as those in the southern hemisphere have shown, in a situation where the World Cup can only be won “game by game”, both European nations claim the championship.
Group A
Group A is interested in seeing the competitiveness of Uruguay, whose roster appears to be an assistant to the future coach, beyond the resistance that might be created by Italy or Scotland, who will occupy third place in their group, providing direct tickets to the next World Cup. Pablo Bouza from Spain. And Namibia will once again look at the World Cup and make the most of how cheap the African standings are still. Otherwise It will be interesting to see Capuozzo’s young Italy, and it will be equally interesting to observe how XV del Gallo manages the chauvinism forced to play to win “his” World Cup.. New Zealand, on the other hand, went on the field with sheepskin after losing to South Africa in the final preparation test (7-35). However The All Blacks are the only team that can do that. Compete in any game context, adapt to the course of the game and Build your victories by defending with headshots within five meters or by deploying in the open adding support when pasting ‘stickers’ on them.
Group B
Group B, which Spain should have been in, is tougher if the incompetence and fraudulent actions of our leaders hadn’t thrown us out. A Scotland where Tonga can’t be trusted either. ‘Ikale Tahi’ has the backing of famous former All Blacks like Fekitoa or Pitau. In the author’s opinion, one of the matches of the tournament and the next World Cup ticket will be in question. And completes the group is a little Romania, which we will watch with reluctance and anger to take our place. needless to say South Africa-Ireland, where the leadership will be determined, will be another summit of the World Cup and undoubtedly the biggest ‘frying pan’ festival we will see this with two abrasive tools. greens and spring birds As Heyneke Meyer warned, they’ll take the stage saying “rugby is a collision sport, not a contact sport like ballroom dancing”.
Group C
If the higher side of the frame is stiffer, the lower side with the C and D groups is the most attractive. Group C is particularly fun due to the rugby diversity of its components. Australia shot into the air, Although it is a generation with young talents, it needs to gain pace as the matches pass. Wales raises even more suspicion, Gatland capitalizes on the mistakes of its rivals and beats the four semi-finalists from 2011 (Lydiate, Faletau, North and Halfpenny). However The ‘dragons’ face a Fiji who has eliminated them from the World Cup in the group stage. Also, the Polynesians came by ravaging England and gained consistency by putting the Fijian Drua team together. And to all this add the red roller, Georgia, who dominates the static stages with a pornographic attack and devastating blow. Every game will drop things that will boost our pints.
Group D
And without fear of being wrong in D we can verify that: The most boring team will be England. There is more audacity and vertigo on the heels of Samoa, the wings of Portugal, or the hinge of Chile than the British. I’m not even talking about itPumas, the favorite of the host’s chaotic XV de la Rosa. It is precisely this feeling, the feeling of not being able to dominate the games, that most bothers a methodical man like England coach Steve Borthwick. But also effervescent Japan appears in the bandBorthwick personally directed the ‘The Brighton Miracle’, Japan’s 2015 victory over South Africa. This group is primarily a more dynamic group with a large number of players. unloading and there is a lot of continuity. In this corsetless environment, England will write the story of the World Cup, where no one expects big things, and it’s worth it when you think about it. With the Pumas being a favourite, it could be a quarter-final between Brits and Australians, a colonial derby with plenty of literature as Argentina meets dragons. But let’s not ignore the Japanese and the Fijians in C.
Smash Rugby, Rugby Champagne, Bomb Squad, Rugby Sapiens…
So it will be the most open World Cup we’ve ever seen. That’s what stats and ranking dictate. Another thing is when the ball flies off and the fight begins. There Southerners manage anxiety better, know better how to suffer, and adapt to the harsh conditions of matches like no one else. The Irish suspect this could be their own World Cup with ‘Smash Rugby’. Although they did not pass the quarterfinals. The French have no doubt that they are favorites to win with ‘Rugby Champagne’ Although they reached the finals three times, they could not lift the championship at all. ‘Worst Blacks in History’ comes this time without the pressure to use their ‘Rugby Sapiens’ when transferring favoritism to someone South Africa to torment its rivals with ‘Bomb Squad’ After the time-outs, he comes out of the bench and devastates his opponents. All offers are reputable, all valid and different. However, only one person will be able to reach Olympus by lifting the Webb Ellis Cup on October 28th. Cool the beers, that’s it. Cheers and Rugby!
