No rugby fans out there ? Any predictions ? Northern or southern hemisphere win ?

Will England bottle ? :stir:
From NZ:

Grant Nisbett: Should the English be nervous?
2:48 PM Friday Sep 18, 2015

The eighth Rugby World Cup kicks off at Twickenham on Saturday morning New Zealand time with the host nation, England, up against Fiji.
The opening game is a tricky one for England and it's fair to say that here in London there are plenty of normally confident English rugby fans who are more than a tad nervous about the outcome...

Of course NZ are going to win. We will become the only team in history to win back to back world cups.

Come on the All Blacks.
