So, I know not a lot on here are egg chasers but we have another chance at #sportingjongoism over the next month or so. Not sure who the favourites are but I suspect that New Zealand will be, here we go… | Team | Tournament odds | | --- | --- | | **New Zealand** | 11/8 | | **South Africa** | 4/1 | | **England** | 9/2 | | **Ireland** | 9/1 | | **Wales** | 10/1 | | **Australia** | 14/1 | | **France** | 33/1 | | **Argentina** | 50/1 | | **Scotland** | 66/1 | | **Japan** | 150/1 | As the competition is in Japan most matches start early morning (GMT), probably better suited for @PhilippineSaint to watch. So, who are you cheering on?? ---
