If we lose to France though it's NZ in a quarter and that's goodnight anyway sadly.
Bar the win this year vs the French we've an awful awful record against them including two batterings in the World Cup in the last 11 years.
While Ireland are in great form NZ England SA Australia and arguably France are more likely World Cup winners.
Hopefully Ireland put up a good 6n though I can't look past England to win a slam like they really should have done this year
You'd fancy Ireland to win the other 4 though you can never write off France
