The 6 Nations is going to be huge next year, although they always are after a world cup.
The 4 Nations will also be very interesting with the addition of Argentina, who I predict (I'm good at predictions....and hat recipes!) will become a world force capable of beating anyone over the course of the next decade or so, the only reason they haven't been better is the lack of regular international competition (although that doesn't figure with Scotland....). Likewise the island teams would be huge if they got their acts together.
England have already started changing - Lewis Moody bowing out for a start, a big loss for England but we need it to push forward - he started to not be able to shrug his injuries off (of which many would have kept a lesser man off the field) and deserves a big pat on the back for being one of the most passionate players the game has ever seen, not many more people have put their bodies on the line as much as him.
Can't wait for the 6 Nations, although my wife would disagree!!!
Oh yes, and quote of the RWC from Richie McCaw being interviewed after the game:
TV :" How are you feeling Richie??!"
RM :" To be honest mate, I'm shagged!"
Legend!!!
