Skip this if you can't stand Rugby
New Zealand's national pastime is picking who is going to win the next Rugby test, and then explaining the next day why they got it wrong.
I should be prudent, and rest on my laurels after getting the result of the Super 12 final absolutely right (when four other Super 12 captains got it wrong).
But that would be cowardly. So: England to win by a narrow margin in a fairly dour struggle tomorrow night, but the All Blacks to turn the tables the following week.
