England for rugby world cup 2011?

I think we'll agree that if nothing to unexpected happens, that the semi's will be Australia vs England and South Africa vs New Zealand... so if your theory is to be correct it would mean that either Australia or England would have to go on and beat the other, in a match that's bound to leave a few scars and bruises on the winning side. After that they'll have to beat a side that'll be almost twice as affective(be it South Africa or New Zealand) as the side that they beat in the semi's. It's a very, very, VERY steep climb to the top for both those sides and it's a mountain that I just can't see being climbed. The winner will come from the winner of the semi between SA and NZ, my reason being that those two sides take so much momentum and pride away from a victory that history proves the winning side is an almost unstoppable force after the clash. The history that I'm referring to is an example in the near past:"In 2009, South Africa managed to beat New Zealand in their opening Tri-Nations encounter in Bloemfontein and went on to have an incredible year. In 2010 New Zealand managed to beat the Boks in their opening encounter and are currently having an pretty unstoppable season...So watch out for the Tri Nations clash between the All Blacks and the Boks in 2011 for a very good idea of who the winner in the World Cup will be
