It is clear that Australia will win the pool, but how about the Rugby World Cup? Here is why Australia will lift the Webb Ellis Cup for the first time since 1999.

The Wallabies are killing everything in their way at the moment at the 2015 Rugby World Cup and can slowly focus on their quarter-final opponent. With the 65-3 win against Uruguay, currently they hold the biggest win of the tournament.

The Wallabies have great back-rowers and some of the most prolific World Cup try-scorers, namely Drew Mitchell. However, they still have lots to fine tune. Even though they smashed Uruguay, they still have got a lot to improve because they left too many opportunities behind. If not, the result would much bigger. Most of all, they need to improve their discipline.

Nevertheless, Australia has a good depth in the squad, a strong team and many players to rotate. They only need to make sure not to lose David Pocock, one of their most important players. Without him, it will be difficult to reach for the Webb Ellis Cup. He is truly one of the most dangerous weapons in the tournament. If you are an Aussie bettor you would be interested to know that Australia's odds to win the tournament are improving each day. You can make a wager on some of the sites found at this Australian review site or play some pokies in the process at http://www.killerpokies.com, because they say Aussies love pokies (wink!).

The goal-kicking is improving too. Bernard Foley seems confident about nailing the goals, and overall their 63% success rate from the Rugby Championship has been greatly improved. If we look in our Rugby history books, we will see that winners have had at least 85% success rate, and Foley is slowly getting there.

On top of that, Australia's defensive is sound enough to withstand the missiles of their fiercest opponents. This dangerous gang of rugby players can contain and disarm any attempt made. Their communication and trust is rock solid, and they play superbly under pressure, although sometimes they can become a little sloppy as in the game against Uruguay.

Under Michael Cheika the Wallabies are scrummaging very nice, which makes the team a difficult animal to control. From the very start New Zealand has been considered the favourite, but if both Australia and New Zealand reach the final, the All Blacks have much to be concerned about because Australia is the only team that has caused them problems this year. It's not automatic that they are going to have everything their own way and Australia has every right to think that they are the second-best team in the world right now behind New Zealand, at least until they lift the World Cup trophy.
