"England in the semi-final" - Sam Warburton makes FOUR bold World Cup predictions

Warburton wrote: "France. It will take a mammoth performance to beat them on home soil in what will be a carnival-like experience every game that they play."

Warburton said: "England vs France and Argentina vs Ireland.

"Semi-final will be a minimum exception (for England) from this new squad and coaches. Third place and above will be a success."

Warburton said: Ardie Savea. He would have been my world player of the year for 20222 and has become a pivotal figure for the All Blacks since his debut in 2016."

Warburton wrote: "Apologies for the Welsh bias but where a lot of other teams have stable squads and will tinker very little, Mason Grady could have a real impact at centre or on the wing for Warren Gatland's side."
