Ahead of their first matches this weekend, the All Blacks World Cup run has raised some questions. First, the Guardian\u2019s<\/em> rugby writer, Robert Kitson, suggested that the \u201cmortal looking\u201d All Blacks could be toppled. This comes just three days before the start of the Rugby League World Cup. Kitson believes that New Zealand\u2019s team line-up could jeopardize their winning streak. Of course, his opinion hinges on one player\u2019s absence.<\/p>\n

According to the article, \u201can air of unpredictability\u201d hangs over the championship squad following Brodie Retallick\u2019s absence. This week, the All Blacks arrived for test week and were greeted with enthusiasm by fans. As back-to-back winners, they have a lot to prove in the World Cup to keep their streak going. However, the odds don\u2019t appear to be in our favour against South Africa in the first match on Saturday.<\/p>\n\"All\n

Hopes for Coaching All Blacks World Cup<\/h2>\n

Current strategies for the World Cup haven\u2019t been shared, but the boys will have to step it up. South Africa\u2019s win at the Rugby Championship has sparked doubt. A shell-shocked Kiwi team bowed out in the quarter-finals, knocking confidence further. Of course, the wet weather brought on by a \u201cpowerful typhoon\u201d could knock New Zealand back further.<\/p>\n

On the bright side, coach Steve Hansen believes that he has cracked the code to South Africa\u2019s weaknesses. Reportedly, the Springboks\u2019 latest defence strategy is easy to manipulate. However, the Boks probably won\u2019t give up easily. So, this weekend\u2019s match could be more than profitable for all involved.<\/p>\n

World Cup Predictions<\/h2>\n

Recent odds for Pool A, where New Zealand is placed, have predicted that NZ and South Africa will go through to the finals. Japan is also part of the pool, but they\u2019re harder to predict. Pool B, containing Australia, is also expected to be hard-fought over October. So, if you were planning on a multi-bet, maybe don\u2019t cash in just yet.<\/p>\n
