Sorry but there is no way on this planet that England are better than Wales.
Perhaps to the uninitiated Wales looked dodgy in the second half of the game against Australia. The fact of the matter is that Australia threw everything they had in their arsenal, and it is a massive arsenal, but Wales defended amazingly while not losing their cool.
An indicator of how well Wales played is the fact that the only comeback the Australian media had was to blame the ref.
England have had reasonably easy games, with no big tests so far so they might look good but when they meet a proper side they will fall short.
NZ are consistently the best team in the world but they are beatable, only a fool would dismiss them as one of the favourite contenders but they have lost a few, all be it close, games this year so they need to turn up with their A game.
My view is biased because I am welsh and it is a massive part of our culture, when Wales play, Wales shuts down for 80 minutes. It is one of the very few sports where we can sit at the top table with the best in the world. If Wales have a hope of winning the World Cup then this current team are the ones who have the biggest chance of all the teams that have represented Wales since 1987.
There are many factors that will play a role in the outcome of this tournament but it will be one hell of a party if Wales do manage to pull it off.
