Are there really no clear favourites in upcoming World Cup?

Irish Rugby

Esteemed former rugby player and many-time World Cup participant Jonah Lomu, in one statement, delivered two equally opposite message, when he recently voiced out his opinion, regarding the battle for the 2015 Rugby World Cup title being a wide open, free-for-all race. For the favourites, the defending champion and the perennial contenders, this is a caveat, a warning not to be complacent or think too highly of themselves as a team because usurpers abound, and they appear capable in the undertaking, given the opportunity.

For the least favoured, the marginalized, those often snubbed in sports betting by betting websites, the upstarts and those deemed lacking, this is a message of hope. These teams are given a breathe of fresh air, and a fighting chance, at least in Lomu’s book. And if Lomu thinks everyone is good enough for a title shot, then why should betting odds be rigidly in favour of just one or two teams, right?

In one hand, it is hard to dispute the opinion of someone like Lomu. This man combined extensive experience with vast understanding of the sport, and he has accomplished much in this field, making his opinion on rugby something that genuinely carries weight.

That and the fact that in every competition, there is always the very palpable, very real possibility that the winner is not the individual or the team the majority was rooting for. Sports – especially team sports – is not new to this reality. Regardless of form, of the number of titles, of the pedigree and the marquee value of the players in the roster, sometimes all it takes is one unlucky match for a favourite team, and the tournament is crowning a new winner, a complete dark horse.
