Chris Robshaw fancies England or South Africa to win the Rugby World Cup title ahead of the All Blacks.

Robshaw who captained England in an ill‑fated 2015 World Cup campaign, told The Guardian this week that he thinks it will be between England and South Africa.

He said the All Blacks would be "thereabouts, but he likes the look of England and South Africa.

Robshaw earned the last of his 66 test caps in South Africa in 2018 and was disappointed to miss Eddie Jones' Rugby World Cup squad, but will still support England.

Robshaw lost the test captaincy after England became the first host nation in Rugby World Cup history to fail to advance to the quarterfinals in 2015, but he retained his place in the team when Eddie Jones took over as head coach.
