the all blacks are like one of the best teams around so it'll be pretti hard for anyone to bet them.

If games are won by intimidation alone then the All Blacks will be 10 points up before they start any match. Like the Aussie cricketers they are in your face and teams have to be able to deal with that before they run out onto the park.
They certainly start as the favourites and 'the team to beat'
but you boiled over before the last world cup, believing your own rhetoric and failing on the field, perhaps you'll overcook it again.
I think the Southern hemisphere teams are looking at the 6 Nations and thinking 'nothing to beat there', this would be a big mistake, though as an Englishman I think the team to watch is Ireland, if they can hold it together their spoiling game is brilliant at the moment and the platform it creates will test any team.

I hate to say it, but there are not many teams able to compete with the All Blacks, and quite frankly the 4 nearest rivals (Australia, France, Ireland and South Africa) are a little suffering from changes, injuries and young players.
And although an England supporter, i can not see us Holding the Webb Ellis trophy up this year.

They are the best side in the world by a mile at the moment. Can't see anyone beating them to be honest.

they will win it yes. The reason being they are miles ahead of all other teams in attitude, commitment, standard and shear quality. Take a tip, Argentina to reach the final.!!!!!!

Controversial stuff there John, but backed up with a well researched argument.
You've really stuck your neck out with that prediction.
Well done.

Given they've had great success in the past year, they are likely the odds on favourite
