NZ: Sweeping the Lions and now winning the 3N's shows they're the cream of the crop. Only threat to hurt their chances are injuries, suspension and choking to win the WC. Best pack, and back 3 in the world, and Dan Carter returning is extremely tough to beat.
SA: Nothing wrong with their campaign. The 2nd row's uncomprimising defense, and their flawless lineout makes their forward pack one of the most feared. Their centres combination has the potential to be the best, the vision and passing of De Villiers, combined with the metre eating and defense of Fourie will make their mark in the world rugby. Habana grabbed all the headlines, and even though some will strongly disagree, is the most potent back in the world.
AUS: More problems that solutions at present. The Wallabies need to rebuild their forwards, the tight 5 apart from Vickerman severely hurt any chance of winning, while #6 continues to be a jersey no player wants to stamp their mark. The backline's future is in good hands, Mitchell could very soon become the best fullback in the business if his defense resembles anything more than a speed bump.
