The 10 things I’m most hoping for from Rugby World Cup

Posted on by

  1. Attack trumps defence. Fat chance, I know, but the World Cup would be the better for it.
  2. Referees don’t steal the show. Comprendre, Monsieur Poite?
  3. England shape up – the World Cup mood depends on it.
  4. Matt Dawson runs into Richard Loe in a dark alleyway.
  5. Duane Vermeulen and Jean de Villiers reach full fitness. Before the end.
  6. The small teams aren’t blown away (don’t hold your breath).
  7. We get to see WP Nel wearing a kilt.
  8. Meaty, mighty rugby with the most positive team triumphing.
  9. At least one huge upset. You listening Fiji, Tonga and the rest?
  10. A new superstar to emerge.
