My 'desired' result is very different from my expectations. Of course, we want to win both the games, thrashing both Scotland and NewZealand and going on to become undefeated World Cup Champions.
But I feel that there might be slightly better odds of us winning against the Scots before losing to NewZealand.
To me the game against NZ would give us a more accurate picture of our strength. NZ are riding the crest of astounding wins against the world champions and are legitimate contenders. So a good fight against the Kiwis would go a long way in instilling much needed self belief in our team.
