It's shaping up to be the most even Rugby World Cup in history. But then you know who's going to win, don't you?
RugbyPass is calling on all armchair critics, bar-stool pundits, one-eyed warriors to join our new predictor game, Pick n Go.
Who will become the RugbyPass Rugby World Cup (unofficial) Tipping champion and go in the draw to win our moderately-proportioned, conservatively-valued prize pool?

Richie McCaw thinks there's half a dozen who could win it; the RPI is a bit less forgiving, but surely you know best, right?
Pick n Go is easy to play and takes just a few minutes out of your week (for the next seven weeks of course). You'll need to select a winner and a winning margin for each game. You can also answer weekly trivia questions to go in the draw for some cool spot prizes and bragging rights over your friends, colleagues and a load of internet strangers.
Pick n Go Terms & Conditions are available here.

BB can’t pass? Right…

IDK, I think Jordan has a limited life span in this side unless he can develop more to his game. Like you go on to mention, I think theyres more important things to worry about than the effectiveness of someone's extra strings, or secondary components to their game.
Bash backs are Fosters thing, and to a large part they've made it work. Theyre now one of the best teams in the world.
They boy's trucked it up a bit against Italy in the redzone, and against France, wasn't that effective without the right players probably.
Try and take a look at it this way. Dissapointed Havili and Blackadder were in the side? Havili despite clearly shown that he can't do what the team needs at 12 was kept on for the RWC. Back goes down and he brings in Blackadder who doesn't play. Refuses to drop Christie when he should and look who starts this season. Beauden Barret not playing well enough to keep his 10 jersey but we gotta keep him in the side. Weve only got one 8, we stuff developing another I'll just play Ardie every game.
This years team wasn't burdened overly with injuries but they were in every position Razor might have wanted to try and development, severely limiting options. I'm not defending Razor as there was also plenty of other opportunity to make up for it and he was a little gunshy, but I'm also not going to overly criticise him because he chose cohesion over a black slate.
I think more and more people are on board with it being time to try alternatives, but then again, how would they have reacted to a loss against Italy? 😉
