The All Blacks vs. The Springboks: Who Will Win The Rugby World Cup Trophy?

While South Africa took home the trophy at the 2019 World Cup, the key question remains – who will win this year? To predict the answer, Niven Winchester, a Professor of Economics at Aukland University of Technology, enlisted the help of an algorithm that uses 10,000 simulations to rank the contenders. His results, which were released yesterday, suggest that New Zealand will pip South Africa to the post – while England only has a 2.3 per cent chance of winning the tournament. The team and listeners share their opinions on why they support the Springboks or the All Blacks and who will win the Rugby World Cup.
