Disagree

It about getting there and the journey you take to get there developing your squad etc

I will take our preparation we have had over the likes our 2010 side had where they qualified in a canter and were not pushed to earn it

When we got there they thought they would just roll on where they left off in Germany 06 but the German NT was a massive step up from the Asian sides we had rolled

I actually think we will do quite well in Russia

This side may be cumbersome and excruciating at taking chances etc but

They are hard to beat and are not riding their luck to scrape in

Just takes us longer to get the dominance reflected on the scoreboard than we would like
