If your team don't progress in the tournament and the other 3 Home Nations do and you were forced to support one of them. Who would it be and why?

Ireland for me. Lot of great players for whom this is their last shot at a World Cup. Would be a shame for the likes of BOD and ROG never to reach a final at least.

Ireland, probably. But Wales, and their national anthem in particular hold a special place in my heart.

Another vote for Ireland here too.

Just could not root for another one I am afraid. As soon as Ireland's tournament ends then so does my interest TBH. But if it was life of death then it would be A.B.H. so Wales or Scotland..!

Similar for me - as soon as England are out then I won't be supporting any other nation! Although if it's not England, then I would like to see the All Blacks win it as they have easily been the best team in world rugby over the last two years.

Especially as at the moment, they are the most at risk home nation to not get out the group stages. All hinges on how the Argentina game goes.

Indeed it does. The Argies looked good against the Romanians and Scotland have been OK but not great so far.
If Scotland get knocked out I would happy support Ireland (who were fantastic against Australia) and Wales who, in Roberts, North, Williams and Hook etc have some great backs and the 3rd best anthem (after the Frogs and the Italians)
I couldn't bring myself to support England. Martin Johnson remains a thug: he now wears a suit and speaks like the school bully instead of wearing a rugby top and ripping the heads off the opposition.

A fair point that the All Blacks are the best team but it is so much fun watching them choke every 4 years
Plus I have never warmed to Graham HenryRichie13

Sorry just England would never cheer on the others.

My other half is Welsh so it would have to be Ireland. I've always enjoyed watching them play and when O'Gara and O'Driscol are playing well, they are a joy to watch..

Once England depart I'll be rooting for the All-Blacks.

Maybe they prefer Northern hemisphere only rugby, and would prefer to be like the team that has won the 6\5\Home Nations the most times?
Oh wait...
