New Zealand are the current Rugby Union World Cup holders and are bidding to become the first side to retain the trophy. They are favourites to do so and you get the feeling whoever beats them will win the tournament.  The All-Blacks are the top rated side in the world and will have no problems qualifying from their group with big wins over Tonga, Namibia and Georgia expected. This opening game won't be too high a slaughter though as they face the 8th ranked Argentina.  New Zealand beat Australia 41-13 last month to show some ominous form coming into this tournament.  Argentina reached the quarter finals of the last world cup and on their day can be a challenge for any team in the world. They won't beat New Zealand here but it won't be a total one-way street as they face the world champions. New Zealand should be able to win on this handicap though and virtually clinch winning the group.
