00:00 Look, I think France and South Africa, I thought Ireland, but I mean they played Samoa on the

00:05 weekend and they won 17-13.

00:07 You know, because now you're playing a different type of rugby.

00:10 When you're playing against the same group all the time you know the strengths and weaknesses.

00:14 But when you've got Fiji, I mean look what they did to England.

00:18 I mean, anything's possible now.

00:20 But look, Australia's going to be there.

00:22 I mean, Eddie's Eddie, that's the way he is.

00:24 He's a lot of talk up.

00:26 But I just think that France at home, if they don't win this World Cup, I think they'll

00:30 never win.

00:31 I mean, they're under a lot of pressure.

00:32 They have been playing the best rugby.

00:34 They are playing the French style, which is running rugby.

00:37 Fiji, unfortunately, Folau's not playing for Tonga, which is a big shame because he would

00:42 have been unbelievable for them.

00:44 So look, I think you've got four or five teams at the moment.

00:47 Again, you lose one big player, the whole team changes.
