Wales winning the six nations, and basically being the best team in the Northern Hemisphere at the moment, suggests the World Cup will stay in the Southern Hemisphere this year.
Wales always perform their best when playing in Europe, and fold against the Kiwi's (or weirdly the Fijians).
England showed they lack any consistency. Like Wales there is no chance we will beat New Zealand, although I wouldn't be shocked if we beat Wales later this year.
Ireland looked the hemisphere's best chance, but after this tournament and their performances vs us, Wales and even Italy, they will be lucky to win their group.
