New Zealand's biggest problem will be their own attitude and expectation. They have all the talent in the world but in terms of World Cup competitions they have badly underperformed. Who knows what'll happen this time around.
There is no doubt that the Welsh do have some great natural talent in their team but I actually think that the fact they put so much emphasis on beating England disguises much of what is wrong in their game and distracts them from far better things. Nice as it obviously is, beating an inexperienced England side really should be scant consolation for a team which comes joint bottom of the championship but it'll be viewed by many as the most important thing to come out of this championship.
England have at long last made much needed changes, albeit at least 2 years too late. Ashton must now have total faith in this side if they are to have any chance of getting to the final rounds of the World Cup. Boring it won't be though
